HOW FABRIC IS MADE FASHION

§ FIBERS are thread like strands that can be made directly FIBERS into fabric or spun into yarns to make fabric by weaving, knitting or other fabric-making process. § There are TWO MAJOR FIBER GROUPS: § NATURAL FIBERS § MAN-MADE FIBERS

Plants Cotton Ramie Flax Bamboo Hemp NATURAL FIBERS Animals Wool Silk

Manufactured fibers § Manufactured fibers are synthesized or formed from raw materials through planned manufacturing processes in factories.

§ Nylon § Rayon § Polyester Examples: § Spandex § Kevlar § Acetate § Acrylic

§ The way fibers are made into yarns affect their appearance and performance characteristics of yarns. Fibers are used to make yarns § Appearance chrematistics can be: § Yarn color § Texture § Diameter § Complexity

§ The number of strands of fiber twisted together to make a yarn and how loosely or tightly the strands are twisted together affect the texture and diameter of yarns. Fiber contents § Example: A loosely twisted yarn with many strands will have a thing diameter and may look rough § A tightly twisted yarn with few strands will look thin

SIMPLE YARN § One fabric type, all cotton, wool, nylon § PLY refers to the number of yarns twisted together Simple vs. Complex Yarn COMPLEX YARN § Two or more fiber types blended together. § Example: cotton-polyester blend

§ Fibers are yarns that can be held together in various ways Fabrics to make fabric or cloth. § Two common methods for manufacturing cloth are weaving or knitting.

WEAVING § Woven fabrics are made by interlacing or weaving at right angles to each other. The loom is the machine used in the weaving process. Construction KNITTED FABRICS § Made by inter-looping one or more yarns. § Made by either flat knitting machines which make knitted fabric in flat form similar to that of woven fabric or circular knitting machines which make knitted baric in tub link form.

§ Types of cotton § Flannel § Canvas § Crepe Cottons are all the same but woven differently § Broadcloth § Denim § Terrycloth § Madras § Muslin § Seersucker § Gauze § Gingham and many more!

§ Companies that produce fibers give them different names for the fibers it makes. § DACRON is the trademark name given to polyester by Dupont. Trademark names § KODEL is the trademark name of a polyester fiber made by Eastman Chemical. § https: //www. fabriclink. com/search/trademark. Search. cfm? First.
