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.
