1. Composite product comprising: a thin walled structure having a thickness comprised between 0.5 mm and 3 mm, said structure comprising first fibre yarn and second fibre yarn,the second fibre yarn being fixed to the first fibre yarn to form the thin walled structure and increase the stiffness of said thin walled structure, said first fibre having a first thickness, and said second fibre yarns having a second thickness larger than said first thickness,wherein second fibres of the second fibre yarns are selected among flax, hemp, jute, ramie, kenaf, sisal, henequen, bamboo, or silk, said second fibre yarns comprising said second fibres twisted,wherein one first layer has only first fibre yarns while one second layer comprises at least some second fibre yarns, or wherein one single layer comprises first fibre yarns and second fibre yarns which are flush on one side, so that at least one side of said product is even. 2. The product of claim 1, wherein said second layer consists of spaced fibre yarns. 3. The product of claim 1, wherein said second layer additionally comprises third fibres with a thickness inferior to said second thickness. 4. The product of claim 1, wherein said second layer comprises a repeating sequence of second natural fibre yarns with first or third fibre yarns. 5. The product of claim 4, wherein said second layer comprises a repeating sequence of ABABABA or AABAABAAB or AAABAAABAAAB, wherein A indicates said first fibre yarn and B indicates said second fibre yarn. 6. The product of claim 1, wherein each second fibre yarn in said second layer has said second thickness. 7. The product of claim 1, wherein said first fibre yarns are of a first fibre type and said second fibre yarns are of a second fibre type. 8. The product of claim 1, wherein said second fibres are used as ribs for reinforcing the stiffness of the product, and wherein the total weight of said second fibres is comprised between 3 and 50% of the total weight of said first fibres. 9. The product of claim 1, wherein said second fibre yarns are fixed to said first fibre yarns by stitching, gluing, adhesive bonding, weaving, knitting, or braiding. 10. The product of claim 1, wherein at least one of said layer comprises carbon fibres. 11. The product of claim 1, having the structure of a hollow cylinder. 12. The product of claim 1, being one among: a seat post;a bicycle saddle;a bicycle frame;a bicycle handle bar;a baseball bat;a piece of furniture;a paddle; ora sheet for automotive applications. 13. The product of claim 1, wherein said second layer additionally comprises third fibres with a thickness inferior to said second thickness and wherein said second layer comprises a repeating sequence of second natural fibre yarns with third fibre yarns. 14. The product of claim 13, wherein said second fibre yarns are stitched with at least one of said first and third fibre yarns. 15. The product of claim 1, wherein the composite is a tube. 16. The product of claim 1, wherein the composite is a flat sheet. 17. The product of claim 1, wherein the composite is has a curved surface. 18. Composite product comprising: a thin walled structure having a thickness comprised between 0.5 mm and 3 mm, said structure comprising first fibre yarn and second fibre yarn,the second fibre yarn being fixed to the first fibre yarn to form the thin walled structure and increase the stiffness of said thin walled structure, said first fibre yarns having a first thickness, and said second fibre yarns having a second thickness larger than said first thickness,wherein second fibres of the second fibre yarns are selected among flax, hemp, jute, ramie, kenaf, sisal, henequen, bamboo, or silk, said second fibre yarns comprising said second fibres twisted,wherein one first layer has only first fibre yarns while one second layer comprises at least some second fibre yarns, or wherein one single layer comprises first fibre yarns and second fibre yarns which are flush on one side, so that at least one side of said product is even,wherein said second fiber yarn is used as ribs for reinforcing the stiffness of the composite product the product comprises at least 5% by weight of parallel ribs or at least 10% by weight of criss-crossing ribs. 19. The product of claim 18, wherein the composite is a tube. 20. The product of claim 18, wherein the composite is a flat sheet. 21. The product of claim 18, wherein the composite is has a curved surface. 22. Composite product comprising a thin walled having a thickness comprised between 0.5 mm and 3 mm, said structure comprising first fibre yarn and second fibre yarn,the second fibre yarn being fixed to the first fibre yarn to form the thin walled structure and locally increase the stiffness of said thin walled structure, said first fibre yarns having a first thickness, and said second fibre yarns having a second thickness larger than said first thickness,wherein second fibres of the second fibre yarns are selected among flax, hemp, jute, ramie, kenaf, sisal, henequen, bamboo, or silk, said second fibre yarns comprising said second fibres twisted,wherein one first layer has only first fibre yarns while one second layer comprises at least some second fibre yarns, or wherein one single layer comprises first fibre yarns and second fibre yarns which are flush on one side, so that at least one side of said product is even,the composite further comprising a thermoplastic polymer or a thermoset resin as a matrix linking the fibre yarns and increasing the stiffness of the product. 23. The product of claim 22, wherein at least said second fiber yarn are impregnated by said polymer or resin, said impregnated second fiber yarn being used as ribs for reinforcing the stiffness of the product. 24. The product of claim 22, wherein said second fiber yarn and said first fiber are impregnated by said polymer or resin for reinforcing the stiffness of the product. 25. The product of claim 22, wherein the thermoplastic polymer is chosen amongst Poly(lactic acid) (PLA), Poly(propylene) (PP), or any type of Poly(amide) (PA). 26. The product of claim 22, wherein the thermoset resin is an epoxy resin. 27. The product of claim 22, wherein the composite is a tube. 28.
