Key Topics to Revise
1
Methods of Fabric Construction
- Fabrics can be made using four main techniques: from solutions, directly from fibers, from yarns, and as composite fabrics.
- Weaving and knitting are the two most common methods of making fabrics from yarns.
- Woven fabrics are strong and less stretchable, while knitted fabrics are elastic and stretchable.
2
Types of Weaves
- Plain weave is the simplest, with yarns alternating over and under each other.
- Basket weave is a variation of plain weave where two or more yarns act as one.
- Rib weave creates raised lines using heavier or grouped yarns in warp or weft.
3
Knitting and Other Techniques
- Knitting uses interlocking loops; wales are vertical, courses are horizontal.
- Knitted fabrics are stretchable, form-fitting, and do not wrinkle easily.
- Lace and net are open-mesh fabrics used for decoration and light coverings.
4
Special and Composite Fabrics
- Coated fabrics have a polymer layer (like PVC or rubber) for water resistance.
- Flocked fabrics have short fibers attached to the surface for texture and design.
- Non-woven fabrics like felt are made by bonding fibers without weaving or knitting.
