ANY SUBSTANCE NATURAL OR MANUFACTURED WITH A HIGH LENGTH TO WIDTH RATIO & WITH SUITABLE CHARACTERISTICS FOR BEING PROCESSED INTO FABRIC.FILAMENT IS A SINGLE LONG FIBER USED TO PRODUCE YARN FOIR DIFFERENT TYPES OF FABRIC. SYNTHETIC FIBER IS INITIALLY PRODUCED AS SINGLE FILAMENTS, MADE WHEN SPINNING LIQUID IS FORCED THROUGH FINE HOLES IN A PIECE OF METAL AND THE RESULTING FILAMENTS ARE HARDENED, DRAWN AND TWISED TO PRODUCE A YARN, OR CUT TO FORM STAPLE(SHORTER) FIBERS. SILK IS THE ONLY NATURALLYU OCCURING SINGLE FILAMENT FIBER.A CONTINUOUS FILAMENT OF UP TO 3KM/2 MI CAN BE UNWOUND FROM THE COCOON OF A SILKWORM. FIBER. FILAMENT.
THERE ARE TWO MAIN CATEGORIES OF YARN SINGLE, CONTINUOUS FILAMENT YARN AND SPUN YARN. CONTINUOUS FILAMENT YARN IS MADE WHEN TWO OR MORE FILAMENTS ARE DRAWN AND TWISTED TOGHTER . SYNTHETIC FIBER IS INTIALLY PRODUCED AS SINGLE FILAMENTS. SILK IS THE ONLY NATURALLY-OCCURING SINGLE SILAMENT FIBER. SPUN YARN IS MADE FROM SHORTER FIBERS.THESE INCLUDE ALL FIBERS EXCEPT SILK, BUT MAYU ALSO INCLUDE SYNTHETIC FILAMENTS WHICH HAVE BEEN CUT TO FORM STAPLE FIBERS. YARN.
THESE ARE MADE FROM NATURAL FIBERS AND INCLUDE COTTON, LINEN, SILK AND WOOL.FOR PARTICULAR QUALITIES, SUCH AS FLAME RESISTANCE OR WATER STAIN REPELLENCE, THESE MAY BE COMBINED WITH A SYNTHETIC FIBER OR TREATED WITH VARIOUS CHEMICALS. SYNTHETIC: THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF SYNTHETIC FIBER TRUE SYNTHETIC OR REGENERATED SYNTHETIC. REGENERATED SYNTHETIC FIBERS ARE PRODUCED FROM RAW MATERIALS, THESE ARE REFORMED TO PRODUCE FIBERS OR FILAMENTS SUITABLE FOR MAKING INTO YARNS OR FABRICS. THE FIRST COMMERCIAL REGENERATED SYNTHETIC FIBER WAS ARTIFICIAL SILK, AND WAS MADE FROM MODIFIED CELLULOSE KNOWN ACCORDING TO LATER METHODS OF MANUFACTURE AS VISCOSE. TEXTILE. NATURAL TEXTILES.
TRUE SYNTHETIC FIBERS ARE USUALLY PRODUCED FROM SUBSTANCES LIKE PETROCHEMICALS, WHICH DO NOT NATURALLY FORM FIBERS. THE FIRST FULLY SYNTHETIC TEXTILE FIBER, NYLON WAS DEVELOPED IN 1937. NYLON, ACRYLIC, POLYESTER AND SPANDEX FIBERS SUCH AS LYCRA, FORM THE BASIS OF MOST OF THE MODERN TEXTILE INDUYSTRY.GEOTEXTILES USED IN DRAINAGE SYSTEMS, ROAD FOUNDATIONS, BARRIERS TO SEA AND RIVER DEFENCES AGAINIST EROSION ARE KNOW AS GEOTEXTILES. THEY ARE MADE FROM SYNTHETIC FIBERS, WHICH ARE EITHER FELTEDFOR USE AS FILTERS OR WOOVEN FOR STRENGTH. TRUE SYNTHETIC. GEOTEXTILES.

FIBER MADE BY CHEMICAL PROCESSES, UNKNOWN IN NATURE. THERE ARE TWO KINDS. ONE A REGENERATED SYNTHETIC FIBER IS MADE FROM NATURAL MATERIALS THAT HAVE BEEN CHEMICALLY PROCESS IN SOME WAY RAYON FOR EXAMPLE IS MADE BY PROCESSING THE CELLULOSE IN WOOD PULP.COMMON SYNTHETIC FIBERS INCLUDE:RAYON.ACETATE.NYLON.OLEFIN.POLYESTER.PLA. SYNTHETIC FIBERS.
MAN MADE FIBERS MAY COME FROM NATURAL RAW MATERIALSOR FROM SYNTHETIC CHEMICALS.MANY TYPES OF FIBER ARE MANUFACTURED FROM NATURAL CELLULOSE,INCLUDING RAYON, MODEL AND MORE RECENTLY DEVELOPED LYOCELL. MAN-MADE FIBERS.
ALMOST ANY TEXTILE YARN CAN BE USED TO PRODUCE SUCH INTERLACED FABRIC AS WOOVEN AND KNITTED TYPES.IN WEAVING THE WARP OR LENGTH WISE YARNS ARE SUBJECTED TO GREATER STRESS AND ARE USUALLY STRONGER, SMOOTHER AND MORE EVEN AND HAVE TIGHTER TWIST THEN THE WEFT OR CROSSWISE YARNS. A SIZING MATERIALS SUCH AS STARCH MAY BE APPLIED TO WARP YARNS, INCREASING THERE STRENGTH TO WITHSTAND THE STRESSES OF FABRIC CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS . YARN CLASSIFICATION. YARN CONSTRUCTION.
YARN IS A STRAND COMPOSED OF FIBERS, FILAMENTS OR OTHER MATERIALS, EITHER NATURAL OR MAN MADE SUITABLE FOR USE IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF INTERLACED FABRICS SUCH AS WOOVEN OR KNITTED TYPES.THE STRAND MAY CONSISTS OF NUMBER OF FIBERS TWISTED TOGHTER, A NUMBER OF FILAMENTS GROUPED TOGETHER BUT NOT TWISTED.THE PROPERTIES OF THE YARN EMPLOYED GREATLY INFLUENCE THE APPEARANCE, TEXTURE AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPLETED FABRIC.

IN WEAVING PROCESS FABRICS ARE PRODUCES BY CRISIS CROSSING OF VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL YARNS.OVER AND UNDER EACH OTHER.

A BASIC WEAVE IN WHICH WEFT YARN PASSES OVER AND UNDER AT LEAST TWO BUT NOT MORE THEN FOUR YARNS IS CALLED TWILL WEAVE. A BASIC WEAVE IN WHICH FABRICS ARE CONSTRUCTED BY INTERLACING OF WARP AND FILLING YARN CREATING A DIAGNOL EFFECTS ON RIGHT SIDE. BUT IN SOME FABRICS DIAGONAL EFFECT CAN BE SEEN AT THE BACK SIDE OF THE FABRIC.CHARACTERISTICS OF TWILL WEAVE:TWILL WEAVE ARE MORE TIGHTLY WOVEN, SO THEY DON’T GET DIRTY AS QUICKLY AS PLAIN WEAVE. TWILL WEAVE ARE MORE DIFFERENT TO CLEAN WHEN THEY GET STAINS. THE DEPTHS OF DIAGONAL LINES INDICATES STRENGTH AND DURABILITY.FIBER CONTENT:COTTON. TWILL WEAVE,
