1 Introduction To

2 Textile Terminology Textile: Fiber: Natural Fibers: term used to refer to fibers, yarns or fabrics the basic unit from which fabric is made (can be natural or manufactured) fibers that come from natural sources, such as plants and animals (ex: cotton, flax, wool & silk) Manufactured Fibers: fibers that come from substances such as wood pulp, petroleum, natural gas, air and water (ex: nylon, polyester, spandex, etc.) Staple Fibers: short fibers that are measured in inches or centimeters (these are usually natural fibers)

3 Filament Fibers: long, continuous fibers that are measured in yards or meters (these are usually manufactured fibers-with the exception of silk) Selvage: the edge of a fabric that is woven so that it will not fray or unravel Warp: yarns parallel to the selvage (left to right) Weft: yarns perpendicular to the selvage (up and down) Tensile Strength: the ability to withstand tension or pulling

4 Resiliency: the ability to spring or bounce back into shape after being crushed or wrinkled Weaving: the process of producing a fabric by interlacing two or more yarns at right angles Knitting: the production of fabric by inter-looping yarns Pilling: the formation of tiny balls of fiber on fabric Gray Goods: fabric that comes straight off the loom

5 Aesthetics: Comfort: Attractiveness; the ability to retain its appearance over a period of time Comfortable; ability to meet the needs of its use Appearance Retention: Maintains original shape or appearance; wrinkle resistant Durability: Durable; its ability to withstand use Care: Hand: Type of care needed, (ex: dry cleaning, washer/dryer, etc.) The way a fabric feels to the sense of touch, (ex: rough, smooth, scratchy, etc.)

6 Natural Fibers Cotton Ramie Wool Cashmere Flax (Linen) Silk

7 Cotton The world uses more cotton than any other fiber! In 1793, Eli Whitney invented the cotton-gin which revolutionized cotton production worldwide Properties of Cotton: -Good Absorbency -Good Conductor of Heat -Strong and Durable -Comfortable -Cheap! Uses of Cotton: -Pretty Much Anything! (Apparel, Towels, Blankets, etc.)

8 Wool Wool comes from sheep! Wool fibers have scales on them which causes them to be itchy Properties of Wool: -Very Strong! -Keeps you VERY Warm! -Durable -Weaker When Wet -Doesn t Wrinkle Easily Uses of Wool: -Apparel -Blankets -Coats -Felt

9 Flax (Linen) Flax is one of the oldest textile fibers-the Ancient Egyptians were famous for it! Linen is made from the Flax plant Properties of Flax/Linen: -Very Strong! -Can Be Soft or Hard -Durable -Comfortable -Good Absorbency Uses of Linen: -Apparel -Bedding -Tablecloths -Accessories (Purses, Luggage, Upholstery, etc.)

10 Flax (Linen) Production

11 Silk Silk comes from the cocoons of silkworms China is famous for silk Real silk is very expensive! Properties of Silk: Uses of Silk: -Strongest Natural Fiber -Apparel -Shiny, Smooth & Luxurious -Sheets -Durable -Tapestries -Very Comfortable! -Furnishings -Good Absorbency

12

13 Ramie It comes from the Ramie plant One of the strongest natural fibers, especially when wet! It has been around for at least 6,000 years! Properties of Ramie: Uses of Ramie: -Resistant to shrinking -Packing materials -Blends well with other fibers -Fishing nets -Lacks resiliency -Upholstery -Low in elasticity -Blended with wool in clothing

14 Cashmere Comes from the cashmere goat-sometimes called pashmina The hair is usually combed by hand during the molting season Properties of Cashmere: -Very expensive! -High quality apparel -Great drapability -Warm -Sensitive to chemicals Uses of Cashmere: -Apparel/Clothing -Sweaters -Coats -Blankets

15 Manufactured Fibers Rayon Polyester Fiberglass Acetate Acrylic PBI Nylon Modacrylic Olefin Spandex

16 Rayon Was the first manufactured fiber First named artificial silk then name changed to rayon Produced by wet spinning Properties of Rayon: -Weak when wet -Highly absorbent -Soft/comfortable -Easy to dye Uses of Rayon: -Apparel -Upholstery -Drapery -Diapers

17 Acetate Started out as a varnish for airplane wings during WWI Produced by dry spinning Will dissolve in acetone (nail polish remover!) Properties of Acetate: -Wrinkles easily -Low cost -Low absorbency -Low strength Uses of Acetate: -Formal Wear -Lining in clothing -Furnishings -Fiberfill

18 Nylon First synthetic fiber in the U.S. Has several different structures (round, voided, trilobal, etc. Properties of Nylon: -Excellent stretchability -Static build-up -Durable/Resilient -Not comfortable Uses of Nylon: -Hosiery/Nylons -Carpet -Windbreakers -Rope

19 Olefin Produced by gel spinning Has very low moisture absorbency Very chemical resistant Properties of Olefin: -Smooth -Good heat retention -Strong and Durable Uses of Olefin: -Furniture -Socks -Carpet

20 Polyester Polyester is the most widely used synthetic fiber Polyester became very popular in the 1970 s-it was used to make the infamous Leisure Suit Although it has many good qualities, it is not very comfortable Properties of Polyester: -Extremely Durable -Doesn t Wrinkle Easily -Very Strong -Not Very Comfortable Uses of Polyester: -Apparel -Furnishings -Fiberfill -Tires

21 Heck Yes! Polyester Leisure Suits are the Coolest! GOSH!

22 Acrylic Produced either by dry or wet spinning It can be destroyed by chlorine bleach Be sure to follow care instructions Properties of Acrylic: -Soft -Warm -Lightweight -Resilient Uses of Acrylic: -Apparel -Blankets -Craft Yarns

23 Modacrylic Produced by dry spinning Has properties similar to acrylic, but is flame and heat resistant Requires special care-follow care instructions Properties of Modacrylic: -Does not wrinkle -Soft -Warm -Tendency to pill Uses of Modacrylic: -Fur-like fabrics -Wigs/Hairpieces -Pile-type fabrics

24 Spandex Extremely elastic fiber! Seldom used alone in fabrics-usually mixed with other fibers Properties of Spandex: Uses of Spandex: -Durable -Swimwear -Resistant to body oils -Exercise clothing -Doesn t deteriorate easily -Power-stretch apparel

25 Fiberglass Materials for fiberglass include sand, silica and limestone-they are melted at 2400ºF and formed into tiny round filaments Will not melt or burn Properties of Glass: -Can only be hand-washed -Severe skin irritation -Strong -Heat resistant Uses of Glass: -Ironing board covers -Molded plastic -Draperies -Mattress covers

26 PBI PBI stands for polybenzlmidazole Synthetic fiber with high melting point Will not ignite under flame Properties of PBI: -Extremely fire resistant -Does not shrink -Difficult to dye Uses of PBI: -Firefighters uniforms -Space suits -Race car driver clothing -Submarines
