ARTICLES ON VARIOUS TEXTILE TOPICS

#1 – Fibres

Textile is a material that is very well known to every civilised human being as he/she is constantly associated with it right from the cradle to grave. In fact, every individual is using textiles all through his life as it is the second basic human need. Food, clothing and shelter are the basic human physical needs. Clothes serve the triple functions of a utilitarian value and expression one’s personality and exhibition of the wearer’s living standard…

#2 – Spinning

It is very difficult to ascertain the historical period precisely by which man first started spinning fibres into yarns. However, based on the archaeological evidence, we can understand that this particular skill was well practiced at least 8000 years ago. Certainly, the weaving of spun yarns was developed around 6000 BC., the approximate time around which Neolithic man began to settle in permanent dwellings and to farm and domesticate animals…

#3 – Knitting

The human beings, were looking for a better kind of material to wrap around themselves than barks or leaves of trees and hides of animals to protect their bodies from the variable weather as well as to protect their modesty, which resulted in both the invention and development of the technology of manufacturing textile fabric/clothing. The available documentary evidences of human civilization from the different parts of the world confirmed that invention…

#4 – Weaving

A plain woven fabric is produced by interlacing two sets of threads, commonly known as warp and weft (or filling). Warp usually runs along the length of the fabric and the weft or filling essentially at a right angle to warp across the width of the fabric. The process of interlacement, commonly known as weaving…

#5 – Coloration

All the textile materials possess a variety of impurities in grey state or immediately after the machine state manufacturing. Natural fibres (cotton, flax, wool, silk, etc.) have inherently occurring natural impurities. In addition to these, oils, sizes and other foreign matter are added for improving the spinnability (in yarn manufacture) or readability (in fabric manufacture)…

#6 – Finishing

The operation that is performed for improving the appearance or usefulness of a fabric after it leaves the loom or knitting machine can be considered a finishing step. Finishing is the last step in fabric manufacturing and is done to impart the final fabric properties that are developed intentionally and purposefully…

#7 – Non Wovens & Technical

Textile Fabrics can be made from fibres as well as from yarns. In conventional fabric production such as weaving and knitting, the fibres are first converted into yarns and then subsequently into fabrics. The schematic construction of woven, knitted and nonwoven structures are shown in…
