Key Topics to Revise
1
Fiber Properties and Their Impact on Fabric Selection
- Fibers are classified as staple (short) or filament (long). Filament fibers like polyester and nylon are smooth, lustrous, and resist soiling.
- Staple fibers like cotton and wool are duller and rougher but more absorbent.
- Moisture absorption affects comfort—cotton absorbs sweat, making it ideal for summer; synthetics like polyester do not, causing discomfort in heat.
2
Fabric Construction Techniques
- Woven fabrics are strong and stable, used in shirts, trousers, and home textiles.
- Knitted fabrics are stretchable and comfortable, used in t-shirts, socks, and sweaters.
- Other techniques include crocheting, felting, braiding, and thermal bonding.
3
Textile Finishes and Their Role
- Finishes improve appearance, comfort, and functionality of fabrics.
- Preparatory finishes include bleaching, singeing, and mercerization.
- Mercerization increases cotton's strength and luster permanently.
4
Factors Influencing Clothing Selection
- Age: Clothing needs change from infancy to old age.
- Infants need soft, simple, washable clothes with no choking hazards.
- Children need durable, growth-allowing, easy-to-wash clothes.
