Cotton is a ________fiber. | Natural |
Natural fibers are made from | Animals and Plant |
Plant fibers are | Cellulosic Fibers |
Animal fibers are | Protein Fibers |
Manufactured fibers are | Cellulosic and Non-Cellulosic Fiber |
The wearing away of any part of material by rubbing against another surface | Abrasion Resistance |
A process in which one material takes in or absorbs another | Absorbency |
How well the fiber withstands pressure, wear and/or damage | Durability |
Ability of a fiber to recover to its original shape after stretching, bending, or compression | Resiliency |
How strong a fiber is | Strength |
How well the fiber keeps you warm | Warmth |
How well the fabric takes moisture away from the body so the moisture can evaporate | Wicking |
The ability to increase in length when under tension (elongation) and then return to the original length when released (recovery) | Elasticity |
Strongest natural fiber and is lustrous | Silk |
Cashmere is a _____________fiber that is natural | Specialty |
The process of interlocking on or more sets of yarns at right angles on a loom. | Weaving |
Yarns that run lengthwise in a woven fabric (up and down) | Warp Yarns |
Yarns that run crosswise in the woven fabric (left and right) | Weft Yarns |
The direction of the lengthwise and crosswise yarns in a woven fabric | Grain |
The diagonal grain of a fabric. Provides the greatest stretch in the fabric. | Bias |
The simplest weave in which the weft (crosswise) yarn is passed over then under each warp (lengthwise) yarn. | Plain Weave |
A very weak weave that produces a smooth, shiny-surfaced fabric. | Satin Weave |
A very strong weave in which the weft yarn is passed over and under one, two, or three warp yarns. | Twill weave |
The raised surface, or nap of a fabric, which is made of upright loops or strands of yarn. | Pile |
The process of pulling loops of yarns through other loops to create interlocking rows. | Knitting |
Involves the production of a whole garment in one piece on a knitting machine so that little or no sewing is required. | Seamless Knitting |
Made from fibers, not yarns. The fibers are held together by a combo of moisture, heat, chemicals, and/or pressure | Nonwoven Fabrics |
Any special attention you give a garment before laundering | Pretreatment |
The process of lifting and lowering the iron onto areas of the fabric. | Pressing |
To clean using chemicals rather than with water and detergent | Dry Cleaning |
Labels in the garment that tell you how to properly care for the garments | Care Labels |
Grouping clothing into piles according to how you will launder them | Sorting |
Product used with detergents to remove stains, whiten, and brighten fabrics | Bleach |
A color that releases some of its dye on to other fabrics (causes fading of garment) | Bleeding Colors |
Having colors that will not bleed or fade | Colorfast |
A fungus that grows on damp fabrics, causing stains | Mildew |
Dyeing fabric before fibers are spun into yarns | Fiber Dyeing |
Dyeing that involves dyeing the fabric before it is woven or knitted. | Yarn Dyeing |
The process for adding color, pattern or design to the surface of the fabric | Fabric Printing |
The process of color for the design being applied to the fabric as it goes through a series of rollers. | Roller Printing |
The newest method of fabric printing. It is like ink-jet printing with a computer but rolls the fabric through extra-wide printer. | Digital Printing |
The method of giving color to textiles using coloring agents called dyes | Dyeing |
This dyeing process involves dyeing the fabric after it is woven or knitted | Piece Dyeing |
