NOTE

INTRODUCTION TO TEXTILES, YARN, FIBER AND FABRIC

Textile refers to any material composed of fibers or yarns that are interlaced, knitted, woven, or bonded together to form a fabric or cloth. Textiles are used for various purposes, including clothing, home furnishings, industrial applications, and technical textiles. They can be made from natural fibers such as cotton, wool, silk, or linen, as well as synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, or acrylic.

Terms used in textiles

Basic terms include fibers (raw materials):

  1. Weaving: Weaving is the process of interlacing two sets of yarns, known as warp and weft, to create fabric. It involves a loom and typically results in a stable and structured textile.
  2. Yarns: Yarns are continuous strands of fibers, either natural or synthetic, used in textile production. They are spun or twisted together to form a cohesive thread, which is then woven, knitted, or otherwise processed into fabric.
  3. Fabrics: Fabrics are materials made from yarns or fibers that are woven, knitted, or bonded together. They come in various textures, weights, and compositions, and are used for clothing, upholstery, and other applications.
  4. Warp: The warp is the set of yarns stretched lengthwise on a loom during weaving. These yarns are held under tension and provide the foundation for the weaving process.
  5. Weft: The weft, also known as the woof or filling, is the set of yarns woven horizontally through the warp during weaving. It crosses over and under the warp yarns to create the fabric structure.
  6. Selvage: The selvage, or selvedge, is the self-finished edge of a woven fabric. It runs parallel to the warp and prevents the fabric from unraveling or fraying. Selvages are often stronger and more tightly woven than the rest of the fabric.

Reasons of studying Textile

We study textiles for various reasons:

  1. Understanding fashion trends and garment construction.
  2. Exploring interior design and home decor options.
  3. Analyzing industrial applications such as automotive textiles or medical textiles.
