Topics in Fabric Construction

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.

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.

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.
