arpita
What is a textile??
A textile is a flexible material comprised of a network of natural or artificial fibers often referred to as thread or yarn. Yarn is produced by spinning raw wool fibers, linen, cotton, or other material on a spinning wheel to produce long strands known as yarn.[1] Textiles are formed by weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting, or pressing
arpita
Classification and identification of textile fibers
arpita
Textile fibres ( based on source)
There are two types of fibers Natural fibers – they are
obtained from nature & are of 3 types: vegetable fibers, animal fibers & mineral fibers
Manmade fibers –they are obtained in various way, there are 4 types of manmade fibers: synthetic, re-generated, metallic& mineral fibers
arpita
Length based classification
Based on there length they are staple or filament .
Staple are short, all natural fibres except silk are staple
Filament fibres are continuous and are measured in metres,
All manmade fibres are filament

Glass fibres – produced by heating silica, sand, limestone & other minerals
These are non absorbent, easily laundered ,& highly fire proof
arpita
Metallic fibres
A manufactured fiber composed of metal, plastic-coated metal, metal-coated plastic, or a core completely covered by metal.
Coated metallic filaments do not tarnish. When suitable adhesives and films are used, they are not affected by salt water, chlorinated water in swimming pools or climatic conditions.
Metallic filaments are used for decorative purposes in apparel, draperies, laces, military uniform decorations, ribbons, table linens, and upholstery.
In the more common process for production, aluminum foil is coated on one or both sides with adhesive to which the desired coloring matter has been added. A sheet of transparent plastic film is applied to each side of the adhesive-coated foil. The assembly is then slit into narrow widths.

Several treatmentsGiven to makeTextile fabrics
arpita
what are yarns?
Yarn is a long continuous length of interlocked fibers, suitable for use in the production of textiles, sewing, knitting, weaving and rope making. Yarn can be made from any number of synthetic or natural fibers. Very thin yarn is referred to as thread.
Types of Yarns : Staple (Short fibers) single Simple (Same appearance along length) Filament (Continuous Filaments) Plied (Two or more strands, twisted) Complex ( irregular in size & twist)
arpita
Count of yarn
Tex system is most commonly used to count yarn
Tex is an internationally agreed system of yarn numbering.
The Tex system is based on the fixed length system. : (Weight per unit length)
The Tex count represents the weight in grams per 1 kilometer (1000 meters) of yarn.
(For example, a yarn numbered 10 Tex weighs 10 grams per kilometer)
The Tex number increases with the size of the yarn.
arpita
What is weaving?
A weave can be defined as the system of interlacing warp & weft threads in order to produce a fabric.
in weaving there must be 2 types of threads.
Vertical threads are called warp, & horizontal threads are called weft.
arpita
Types of weaves
1. Plain weave
2. Satin weave
3. Figured weave
4. Twill weave
5. Cellular weave
6. Pile weave
arpita
Plain weave
The weft goes over & under alternate warp threads, as done in darning.
arpita
Satin weave
In a satin weave there are fewer intersection of weft & warp threads.
The warp floats over the weft thread.
The fabric is smooth with an attractive sheen.
arpita

arpita
Figured weave
This introduces a pattern into the fabrics.
For figured weaves two types of previously mentioned weaves are combined.
Fabrics woven in this weaves are huckaback,brocatelle, damask.
arpita
Figured weave as damask
arpita
Figured weave as huckaback fabric
arpita
Twill weave
The weft crosses the warp at different intervals in different rows so that series of diagonal line is produced.
The threads are normally close to each other
Drill & gaberdine are fabrics in twill weave.
arpita
Fabrics made from twill weave

arpita
Cellular weave
These weave gives a loosely woven fabric which holds air in the cells between the threads .
Example cellular blanket

arpita
Pile weave
In a pile weave there loops of yarn which stand from the body of the cloth.
Example is carpet
arpita
Knitting
.
•A method of constructing fabric by interlocking a series of loops of one or
more yarns.•Only one thread is used in knitting.
•Knitting is one of several ways to turn thread or yarn into cloth

What is felting?
In this method , fibres are directly converted into fabric without being spun into yarns .
Generally wool is used for felting. In this process a number of needles is
punched into fibres. They lack strength. Are comparatively cheaper.

Bonded fibres
Bonded fibres are made from natural & manmade fibres.
The fibres are bonded either by using adhesive, by heating or by laminating.

arpita
Apart from the above mentioned finishes we have
Dyeing----- This processes
generally enhance the appearance of a fabric by adding colour & pattern
Printing--- 3 types Block printing Screen printing Roller printing
arpita
Chemical finishes
8 chemical finishes are there
arpita
mercerizing
A chemical finishing process used on cotton yarn and cloth through chemical action of sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) solution. The treatment increases the fabrics' strength, affinity for dyes and luster.
arpita
Anti – crease treatment
Used for cotton fabrics usually this chemical finish method is produced by treating fabrics with a solution of synthetic resin, the fabric is then dried at a high temperature
arpita
creping
Caustic soda is applied on the fabrics on some parts , parts to which the paste is applied do shrinks leaving the other parts unshrunken. Thus a crepe effect is produced on the fabric
arpita
Fire proofing
This chemical finish is also known as the flame retardant finish.
in this method the fabric is dipped in a solution of borax & boric acid dissolved in water.
Even bed linen such as duvets , pillows, etc are made flame retardant
arpita
Water repellant finish
The fabric is coated with hydrophobic substances making it water repellant
Hydrophobic substances are- silicones, gelatin, paraffin wax.
arpita
Oil-repellant
Oil Repellent- A Treatment That Allows A Fabric To Resist Staining By Oily Substances. Oilcloth, A General Term For Any Oil
Coated Fabric. Fabrics are treated with
layers of linseed oil & metallic salts.
arpita
Shrink resistant finish
Given to wool to control shrinkage
arpita
Moth proofing
This is important to wool fabrics
Treated with chemicals such as fluorine compounds
arpita
Mechanical finishes– machine is used to produce different effects on fabrics
arpita
Beetling
Originally carried out by beating the fabric surface.
Modern era a machine is used to give a flattened impact, thus a desired lustrous effect is produced
arpita
Brushing & shearing
Cuts out the short end of fibres which are sticking out of the fabric
The fabric is passed through two roller brushes
In this process the material gets cleaned
arpita
calendering
Removes wrinkles, adds sheen & gives a smooth effect.
This finish is produced by passing the fabric between to highly polished rollers
arpita
sanforizing
To overcome the defect of shrinkage fabrics are sanforized
Sanforized articles are passed through the surface of a steam heated rollers
The process ensures less then 1% shrinkages for fabrics after washing
arpita
crinkling
Also known as creping By this process a wavy crepe effect is
produced on the fabric The material is passed between two hot
rollers
arpita
glazing
This produces a high sheen on the fabrics in this process also the material is
passed through a machine consisting of three rollers
arpita
napping
This produces a raised effect on fabrics & makes it soft & warm
In this method the fabric passed through a revolving cylinder
Cotton & wool fabrics are given this finish
arpita
moireing
Produces watery line effect on fabrics Machine consists of three steam rollers&
rotates at high speed to get the desired effects on fabrics
