Document Summary

Fabric: fabric: a woven, knitted, plaited, braided, or felt material such as cloth, lace, hosiery, etc, a planar structure consisting of yarns or fibers. Starting materials for fabrication: solutions: films and foams, fibers: felt and fiberwebs or nonwovens, yarns, composite: fabrics combined together (bonded, laminated, quilted); fabrics combined with solutions, fibers, and yarns. Characteristics: most widely used method with many possibilities, fabrics unravel and fray and have grain, same weave fabrics may vary by yarn size or twist, fiber, count, color, design, or finish, used in apparel, furnishings, and industrial products. Three principle ways of manufacturing fabrics (fabrication: woven fabrics. Weaving: woven fabrics: two sets of yarns (warp and filling) are interlaced at. 90degree angles: woven fabrics are fabrics constructed by interlacing two sets of yarns at right angles to one another, in a predetermined pattern, knit fabrics. Fiber bonding: non-woven fabrics, there are a large number of minor fabrication methods. Examples: braids, lace, films, foams, felt, leather, and fur.
