Short, fluffy fibers obtained from the cylindrical flowers of cattail plants, Typha latifolia and Typha augustifolia. Cattails are found in wetlands and swampy areas throughout North America. Typha (cattail) fiber derived from this plant is a natural lignocellulosic vegetable fiber, having the potential to be a high-yielding, novel, sustainable textile fiber. These tall, slender plants are known for their versatility and environmental resilience, offering several advantages over traditional cotton. The moisture regain (%) of cattail fiber is found to be ≈10% at 60% RH and 25°C.
