This document discusses the formation and types of fabrics. There are three main stages in fabric formation: fibers are turned into yarn, then yarn is used to make fabric through processes like weaving, knitting, or non-woven bonding. The three primary types of fabrics are knitted, woven, and non-woven. Knitted fabrics are stretchy and comfortable, woven fabrics are tough and durable, and non-woven fabrics are made by interlocking fibers without spinning into yarns. Fabrics have a variety of uses in apparel, furnishings, and industrial products depending on their appearance, texture, performance, and cost.
2. 1. Formation Of Fabric
2. Fabric’s Introduction
3. Types Of Fabric:-
a. Knitted Fabric
b. Woven fabric
c. Non Woven Fabric
3. Formation Of Fabric
Fibre
Yarn
Fabric
Fibre is the raw material used in making yarn.
Fibre is the initial stage in the process of making
“Fabric”.
Yarn is the 2nd stage in the process of fabric
formation.
Yarn is made by fibre.
It is the raw material used to make fabrics.
It is the final product after fibre & yarn
formation to make fabric.
4. The basic ingredient for the
development of fabric is
fibre. From a fibre yarns are
made than these yarns are
woven or knitted to form
fabric.
There are several different
types of fabric from two main
sources :- Manmade or
Natural sources.
Fabric formation process
contributes to the fabric
appearance, texture,
performance, end uses and
cost.
A fabric can be used to
make 2-D or 3-D products
that require some shape &
flexibility. Fabrics are used in
Apparel, Furnishing & many
Industrial products,
5. Types Of Fabric
1. Knitted Fabrics
2. Woven Fabrics
3. Non Woven Fabrics
6. Knitted Fabrics
Knitting is a method by which
threads or yarns turned into
cloth or other fine crafts.
Knitting is of two types:-
1. Warp Knit
2. Weft Knit
Knitted fabrics are stretchy &
mote comfortable to wear.
Knitted fabrics are used in
Dresses, Ties, Socks,
Sweaters, Blankets,
Furnishings, Fire protection
clothing etc.....
Warp Knitting
Weft Knitting
7. Woven Fabrics
Woven fabrics are formed by
weaving. Weaving is an art of
interlacing the yarns together to
make a piece of fabric.
The main types of weave are
Twill, Satin, Pile and Plain
weave.
Woven fabrics are tough &
durable, and these fabrics are
usually frays at edges.
Woven fabrics includes
muslin, poplin, cotton, chiffon,
corduroy, denim, taffeta, cambric
etc....
8. Non Woven Fabrics
Non Woven fabrics are
produced by interlocking or
bonding fibres together by
chemical, mechanical, heat or
solvent treatment.
Non Woven fabrics are not
made by weaving or knitting and
do not require converting the
fibres to yarn.
Non Woven fabric are used in
surgical masks, caps, tea bags,
carpet backing & packaging....
