The Different Types of Fabric Construction.pptx

Types of Fabric Construction

1. Fabric Construction

2. Fabric – refers to any textile materials made through weaving, knitting, spreading, Crouching, or Bonding that may be used in fabric production of further goods as well as garments. Fabric Construction – involves the conversion of yarns and something fibers into a fabric characteristic determined by the materials and methods employed. Most fabrics and presently produced by some method of interlacing, weaving, or knitting.

3. 3 common types of Fabric Construction

5. Woven Woven fabrics interlaced two sets of yarns at right angles. Woven fabrics are often created on a loom, and made of many threads woven on a wrap and a weft. Technically, a woven fabric made by interlacing two or more threads at right angles to one another. Weaving Is the most commonly used method of fabric construction.Where two sets of yarn are interlaced with one another at the right angles. It’s the process of interlacing two sets of yarn namely warp and weft at right angle according to design. Can create durable fabrics like satin and cotton that we used everyday.

6. Two sets of yarn are used in weaving: Warp The yarn going down the length of the loom. The yarns are inter-locked together. Weft The yarn going across the width of the fabric.

7. Types of weaving Weaving has several patterns, which help produce different materials and effects. Sometimes, a singular weaving pattern will be used to create a single weave unit, while other weaves require the compilation of several combined techniques to create on unit. Weave pattern range from simple to very intricate. Common types of Weaving Plain Weave Twill Weave Satin Weave

8. Plain Weave Is also called a tabby weave, is the most weaving patterns. Like any weaving, you must have a warp wire and weft. The amount of wires and the ratio between wires help to intricate patterns. This process is true with al weave, including the plain weave. The plain weave type only require two weft yarns in each weave unit, making it simple yet durable. Plain weave are most used in clothing home textiles due to their durability.

9. Two types of Plain Weave Directional Uniform

10. Twill weave is a type of textile weave with a pattern of diagonal parallel ribs. it is one of the three fundamental types of textiles weaves along with plain and satin weave . It is made by passing the weft thread over one or more warp threads then under two or more warp threads and so on.

11. Satin weave This is by far the more complicated by weave out of the three types. A satin weave involves longer “ floats “ off the yarn or thread, exposed on the surface to create shiny and reflective effects. This types of fabric are commonly used in higher end garments and textiles like jacket, athletic shorts , nightgowns and blouses.

12. Knitting Knitting is a method for production of textile fabrics by interlacing yarn loops with loops of the same or other yarns. It is used to create many types of garments. Knitting may be done by hand or by machine. Knitting creates stitches: loops of yarn in a row, either flat or in the round.  

13. Types of Knitting Weft knitting is the simplest method of converting a yarn into fabrics. Weft knitting is a method of forming a fabric in which the loops are made in horizontal way from a single yarn and intermeshing of loops take place in a circular or flat form on a crosswise basis. In this method each weft thread is fed, more or less, at right-angle to direction in which fabric is formed. Each course in a weft knit builds upon the previous knitted course Warp Knitting is defined as a loop-forming process in which the yarn is fed into the knitting zone, parallel to the fabric selvage.

14. Types of weft knitting Flat knitting -is a method for producing fabrics in which the work is returned periodically. Circular knitting machine- a lways produce a tube-shaped fabric. They exist in different sizes or diameters, depending on the field of application. The needles and sinkers in these machines are arranged in a circle.

15. Non-woven fabrics are textiles that have been created through a process of bonding fibers together, either by some kind of chemical adhesion, mechanical or heat treatment, or a combination of those. There is no weaving or manual construction involved.

16. Three Primary Process Required for Non Woven Cloth Manufacturing: 1.Dry laid 2. Wet laid 3. Spun laid

17. Dry laid Wet laid

18. Raw Materials Polyester is the most frequently used fibers in the United States, olefin and nylon are used for their strength , and cotton and rayon are used for absorbency . S ome acrylic , acetate , and vinyl are also being used. Fibres are selected on the basis of their properties and expected performance in and uses.The selection of fibres depends on the product proposed, the care typically given it, and the expected or desired durability.

19. Characteristics of Non- Woven Fabric The appearance of non-woven fabrics maybe paper like, felt like, or similar to that of woven fabrics. They may have a soft, resilient hand, or they may be hard, stiff or broadly with little pliability. They may be as thin as thin as tissue paper or many times thicker. They also may be translucent or opaque. Their porosity may range from low tear and burst strenght to very high tensile strength. They may be fabricated by gluing, heat bonding, or sewing. The drapability of this type of fabrics varies from good to none at all. Some fabrics have excellent launderability ; others have none. Some maybe dry cleaned.

20. Uses of Non-Woven Fabric Disposable nonwoven are essentially made for one time use; but some, such as dust cloths, may be laundered and reused a few times. General application include personal hygiene products, such as diapers and sanitary naplins ; medical products such as surgical gowns and drapes; surgical and industrial masks, bandages , wipes and towels; bibs and even costumes for special events. Durable nonwovens have wide applications.Consumer durables include both household goods and home furnishings, such as for draperies, furniture upholstery, mattress padding, towels, table cloths, blankets and carpet backing and clothing and apparel, such as for caps, linings, interlinings, interfacings and the reinforcementof other fabrics. Many industrial uses include filters, insulation, packing materials, roadbed stabilization sheeting or road building materials geo textiles and roofing products.
