Fabric

Hemp
80% of all textiles, fabrics,
clothes, linen, drapes, bed
sheets, etc., were made from
hemp until the 1820s, with the
introduction of the cotton gin..

Interesting Facts Regarding Fabrics

Bamboois a plant that
has been used to create
a fabric. It has natural
absorbing ability that
pulls moisture away from
the skin so it can be
useful in reducing
moisture. It also has
natural anti-baterial
qualities.

Interesting Facts Regarding

Fabric
Don't cry over spilt milk -- it could become a shirt

Every year, millions of tons of milk deemed unsafe for

human consumption are discarded. Now Fabric is
manufactured from Milk
The fabric, is non-allergenic, is attracting interest outside
of fashion. Makers of hospital and hotel bedding, and even
car upholstery firms, are keen to clad their products in the
sustainable fabric formerly known as milk.

Synthetic Fibers

Fibers created by extruding fiber

forming materials through spinnerets
into the air forming a filament:
Polyester
Nylon
Acrylic
Spandex
Rayon

Synthetic fibers are also referred to as man-made or

manufactured fibers. They are most commonly made
from petroleum-based products.

Interesting Fact Regarding Man Made

fabric

Rayon (Artificial Silk) is the first man made fiber

Microfiber was invented over 20 years ago in Japan.

Microfiber is the thinnest of all man-made fibers, even finer
than silk. it is 100 times finer than a human hair.

Acrylicis a man-made fiber that

has a soft, wool-like hand, is
machine washable and has
excellent color retention. It is
often an additive to textiles to
take advantage of these
properties
Nylon It has high strength,
excellent resilience and superior
abrasion resistance. Nylon
replaced silk stockings for women
in the early part of the 20th
century.

onstruction of Fabric ( The Real Science)

Woven Fabric
Woven fabrics are composed of two sets of
yarns, the warp and the weft.
Cloth is created by weaving the warp and the
weft over and under one another. The manner in
which the warp and weft are woven over and
under one another determines the weave of the
fabric.
There are five basic weaves: Plain, Basket, Twill,
Satin, Jacquard

Warp & Weft

The warp yarns
run the length of
the fabric.
The weft yarns,
also called the
fill, run
perpendicular to
the warp yarns.

Plain Weave
Plain weave is a
simple over-under
pattern. It can be
identified by its
checkered
appearance.
Examples of plain weave
fabrics:
Poplin
Organza
Chiffon

Basket Weave
Basket Weave is a
variation of plain weave.
It is a simple over-under
pattern created with an
equal number of warp
and weft yarns woven as
a group. The image
shown is a 2 x 2 basket
weave. Basket weave
fabrics, like plain weave
fabrics, also have a
checkered appearance.

Twill Weave
A twill weave can be
identified by its diagonal
lines. The diagonal rib
created by the stair-step
of the twill weave is
called a wale.
Examples of twill weave fabrics:
Denim
Chino
Herringbone
Tweed

3/1 twill, as used for denim.

Satin Weave
Satin weave is characterized by
long floats of warp yarn. The warp
yarn goes over four weft yarns
before being woven under a single
weft yarn. There is a simple 4 over,
1 under pattern. This pattern
creates long floats of warp yarn
that create a soft hand and lightreflecting sheen.
Satin fabric is made from long
filament fibers in either polyester
or silk. When a satin weave is used
on a fiber with a short staple, such
as cotton, it is referred to as
sateen.

Satin weave.

Jacquard
Weaving

Jacquard weaving is done on a

specialized loom called a
Jacquard loom. The jacquard
loom simplifies the process of
weaving complicated textile
patterns with its punch card
system.
Fabrics created using jacquard
weaving:
Brocade
Damask

Silk brocade fabric

Knit Fabric
A fabric made
interlocking loops of
one or more yarns
together by hand
with knitting needles
or by machine.
Examples of knitted fabrics:

Jersey Knit
Double Knit
Stockinet
Rib Knit

Finishes
Stain Release
Stains of oils, sauces, drinks, coffee etc. are
removed easily by ordinary domestic washing
procedure.

Easy Care Pre Cure

The tendency of fabrics to wrinkle during washing

is tremendously reduced and wash and wear
properties are introduced

Finishes
Easy Care Post Cure
Used to produce permanent press garments. The
garments retain their shape even after multiple
launderings. This saves valuable ironing time and
energy.

Anti-Bacterial
The multiplication rate of bacteria is significantly
reduced. The fabric remains fresh and free from
bad odour

Finishes
Shrink-proof
Garments retain their sizes through out the life
cycle. Fabrics do not shrink or grow during
launderings.
Moisture Management

Supports the natural cooling system of body by

dissipating perspiration efficiently and drying
quickly. The overall result is enhanced comfort

Finishes
Peaching / Brushing
This is a mechanical finish used to produce fabric
surface with enhanced soft handle and
characteristic peach skin feel.

Flame Retardant
Minimize the life damage in case of fire accidents.
The fabrics retard the spread of flame and provide
sufficient time to the wearer to escape from fire.

Finishes
High Abrasion Resistance
These fabrics are made with the finest grade fibres
and finished in a way that to get excellent abrasion
resistance even more then 100 K cycles. These
products are specialized to meet the rough and
tough industrial garment needs
