What is fabric? - Answers A planar structure pliable enough to be made into three-dimensional
products.
What is fabrication? - Answers The process of forming fabric from starting materials.
What is minimum yardage? - Answers The shortest length of fabric a firm will produce to sell to
another firm.
What is a woven fabric? - Answers A fabric made from two or more sets of yarns interlaced at
right angles (90 degrees).
What is a plain weave? - Answers A weave in which yarns at right angles pass over and under
each other; simplest of the three basic weaves.
What is a twill weave? - Answers Each warp or filling yarn floats across two or more filling or
, warp yarns with a progression of interlacing to form a distinct diagonal line (wale).
What is a satin weave? - Answers Each warp (or filling) yarn floats over four or more filling (or
warp) yarns and interlaces with the fifth yarn, creating a smooth, lustrous surface.
What is interlacing? - Answers The point where a yarn changes its position from the fabric's
surface to its underside or vice versa.
What is a float? - Answers The point where a yarn crosses over more than one yarn at a time;
seen in twills, satins, basket weaves, and fancy weaves.
How is fabric quality graded? - Answers Based on defect length and frequency using visual or
machine inspection, or computer-aided fabric evaluation (CAFÉ).
What factors determine fabric quality? - Answers Freedom from defects, uniformity of structure
and appearance, and performance during production and use.
How does yarn count/density affect fabric properties? - Answers High count: firm, good cover
and body, compact, stable, rigid drape, wind and water repellent, less edge raveling. Low count:
flexible, pliable, permeable, softer drape, more edge raveling.
How does fabric balance affect properties? - Answers Balanced (1:1 warp-to-filling): less seam
slippage, even warp and weft performance. Unbalanced (2:1 or 1:2 warp-to-filling): one direction
dominates; may affect drape and seam performance.
What are the two common off-grain problems? - Answers Skew: Filling yarns are not at a right
angle (90 degrees) across the fabric.
Bow: Filling yarns do not cross all warp yarns at the same angle, forming a dip or curve.
What are the general characteristics of warp yarns? - Answers Threaded through the loom and
parallel to the selvage. Less stretch, less crimp. Usually simple, smaller, and more regular with
higher twist per inch (tpi). Rarely novelty or crepe. Higher density than filling yarns.
What are the general characteristics of filling yarns? - Answers Inserted through the shed during
weaving; perpendicular to the selvage. More stretch, more crimp. More likely to be novelty or
crepe. Less regular, lower tpi. Larger and lower density than warp yarns.
What are the major characteristics of plain weave? - Answers Simplest structure, maximum
interlacing, no floats. Firm, stable, good for apparel and home textiles.
What are the major characteristics of twill weave? - Answers Diagonal wale. May have face and
back. Soft, pliable, sometimes more absorbent. Seldom printed; better wrinkle recovery than
plain weave.
What are the major characteristics of satin weave? - Answers Smooth, lustrous surface due to
long floats. One set of yarns on face, one on back (definite face and back). High-count satins:
