Introduction to Textiles

 Introduction of Textiles

The word Textiles comes from "texere", derived from Latin, meaning "to weave". in our daily life we use to wear clothes, which we all know manufactured in some textile factory but have you ever wonder how textile factories make these clothes? What are the processes which make these clothes? 

Subscribe to our blog and we will tell you the basics of textiles.

 

Textiles, especially fabrics are the main component of finished garments because they are the main raw material for garments. Therefore, it is important to know the sequence of making fabric from the fiber. Product quality is the main goal now. Without knowledge of textile production, that is, fibers, yarns, and fabrics, it is impossible to maintain the quality of clothing. Before dwelling in detail on the entire production process of the garment, let's see what the basic textile processes are.

Raw materials

Raw materials of textiles are segmented in 2 categories.

·         Natural (fibers are taken from natural processes like plant and animals)

·         Synthetic (fibers are taken from manmade processes like polyester)

Natural Fibers are cotton, wool, flax, hemp, coir, abaca, jute, sisal, silk, cashmere.

Synthetic fibers are Rayon, Polyester, spandex, vinyon, saran, 

Spinning

Spinning is the initial process for garment making, where fibers are spun to make yarns.



Weaving

Weaving is a method of textile production in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth.

Finishing

Finishing refers to the processes that convert the woven or knitted cloth into a usable material and more specifically to any process performed after dyeing the yarn or fabric to improve the look, performance, or feel of the finished fabric.



Garment 

The garment industry makes the final product of textile processes. A garment is a wearable end product. Like shirts, pants, jeans, trousers, etc
