    This document summarizes different types of fibers, fabrics, and weaves. It discusses natural and synthetic fibers that can be spun into yarns and woven into fabrics. The main types of fabrics are woven, knit, and non-woven. Woven fabrics are made by weaving warp and weft yarns in different patterns, including plain weave, basket weave, twill weave, satin weave, and jacquard weave. Knit fabrics are made by interlocking loops of yarn. Non-woven fabrics are pressed together using heat and moisture.

    Fiber –

    A natural or synthetic
    filament that can be
    spun into yarn.
    Fabric –
    A cloth made by
    weaving, knitting, or
    felting fibers.
    Natural Fibers –
    Fibers derived from plants or
    animals:
    •Linen
    • Cotton •Silk
    • Silk •Bamboo
    • Wool •Hemp
    • Cashmere
    Synthetic Fibers –
    Fibers created by extruding fiber
    forming materials through spinnerets
    into the air forming a filament:

    • Polyester •Metallic
    • Nylon •Spandex
    • Acrylic
    Synthetic fibers are also referred to as man-made
    or manufactured fibers. They are most commonly
    made from petroleum-based products.
    Main fabric types-
    • Woven fabric
    • Knit fabric
    • Non-woven fabric
    Woven Fabric –
    • Woven fabrics are composed of two sets of
    yarns, the warp and the weft.
    • Cloth is created by weaving the warp and the
    weft over and under one another. The manner in
    which the warp and weft are woven over and
    under one another determines the weave of the
    fabric.
    • There are five basic weaves: Plain, Basket, Twill,
    Satin, Jacquard
    • Woven fabric only stretches on the bias unless it
    is made from elastic fibers.
    • Woven fabric frays unless hemmed or treated
    with pinking shears.
    Knit Fabric –
    A fabric made
    interlocking loops of
    one or more yarns
    together by hand
    with knitting needles
    or by machine. Schematic diagram of
    a knit fabric.
    Examples of knitted fabrics:

    • Tricot
    • Jersey Knit
    • Double Knit
    • Stockinette
    • Balbriggan
    • Rib Knit
    Non-woven
    • Made when fibres are pressed together using heat &
    moisture
    Plain Weave
    Plain weave is a
    simple over-under
    pattern. It can be
    identified by its
    checkered
    appearance.
    Examples of plain weave Plain Weave.
    fabrics:

    •Poplin
    •Organza
    •Chiffon
    •Taffeta
    •Grosgrain
    Basket Weave
    Basket Weave is a
    variation of plain weave.
    It is a simple over-under
    pattern created with an
    equal number of warp
    and weft yarns woven as
    a group. The image
    shown is a 2 x 2 basket
    weave. Basket weave Basket Weave.
    fabrics, like plain weave
    fabrics, also have a
    checkered appearance.
    Twill Weave
    A twill weave can be
    identified by its diagonal
    lines. The diagonal rib
    created by the stair-step
    of the twill weave is
    called a wale.
    Examples of twill weave fabrics:
    •Denim
    •Chino
    •Herringbone
    •Houndstooth 3/1 twill,
    •Drill
    •Gabardine
    •Serge
    •Tweed
    Satin Weave
    Satin weave is characterized by
    long floats of warp yarn. The warp
    yarn goes over four weft yarns
    before being woven under a single
    weft yarn. There is a simple 4 over,
    1 under pattern. This pattern
    creates long floats of warp yarn
    that create a soft hand and light-
    reflecting sheen.

    Satin fabric is made from long


    filament fibers in either polyester
    or silk. When a satin weave is used Satin weave.
    on a fiber with a short staple, such
    as cotton, it is referred to as
    sateen.
    Jacquard Weaving
    Jacquard weaving is done on a
    specialized loom called a
    Jacquard loom. The jacquard
    loom simplifies the process of
    weaving complicated textile
    patterns with its punch card
    system.
