A fiber processing method includes performing defibration processing on a coarse fragment of a fabric containing a thread in which a plurality of fibers are twisted to produce a first defibrated material; and performing garnetting processing on the first defibrated material to produce a second defibrated material. The fiber processing method may further include, before performing the defibration processing, coarsely fragmenting the fabric to produce the coarse fragment.
