Study Notes
Fabric Qualities
- Fabrics are described based on physical and visual characteristics.
-
Texture and Feel:
- Some fabrics, like silk or satin, have a smooth, silky feel due to tight weaves and smooth filaments.
- Other fabrics, like linen, have a rough, coarse feel due to looser weaves and uneven filaments.
-
Breathability and Moisture Wicking:
- Breathable fabrics allow air circulation, keeping the wearer cool and comfortable.
- Moisture-wicking fabrics draw sweat away from the skin, keeping the wearer dry.
-
Durability and Strength:
- Durable fabrics resist tears and rips, suitable for clothing, upholstery, or outdoor gear.
- Strong fabrics withstand repeated use and washing without losing shape or integrity.
-
Color and Dye Retention:
- Colorfast fabrics maintain their color over time, even with repeated washing and sunlight exposure.
- Dyeing techniques, like reactive dyeing, create vibrant and long-lasting colors.
-
Wrinkle Resistance:
- Some fibers, like polyester, are naturally wrinkle-resistant due to their molecular structure.
- Fabric treatments can enhance wrinkle resistance, like a permanent press finish.
-
Thermal Insulation:
- Insulating fabrics trap air, creating a barrier against cold temperatures.
- Insulating fabrics can also wick away moisture, preventing clamminess.
-
Eco-Friendliness:
- A hierarchy of eco-friendly fabrics is presented: Organic Cotton, Recycled Polyester, and Bamboo.
-
Care and Maintenance:
- Fabric care involves washing instructions, drying techniques, and ironing guidelines.
-
Describing Fabric Qualities:
- Evaluate texture by feeling the fabric.
- Assess appearance by examining color and weave.
- Review care instructions for washing and drying.
