Study Notes
Fibres
- Fibers are natural or synthetic materials, longer than they are wide, able to be spun into yarn or made into textiles.
- Fibers are classified by length:
- Staple fibers are short (most natural fibers, excluding silk).
- Filament fibers are continuous or nearly continuous (most man-made fibers and silk).
- Fibers are also classified by origin:
- Natural fibers include plant, animal, and mineral fibers.
- Man-made fibers include organic (synthetic, regenerated/semi-synthetic) and inorganic fibers.
- Natural fibers include plant fibers (cotton, flax, hemp, kapok, jute, ramie, piña, coir, bamboo) and animal fibers (silk, wool, mohair, cashmere, camel hair, alpaca).
Natural Fibres
- Plant fibers are derived from various plant parts, such as stems (bast fibers), leaves, seeds, or fruits. Specific examples include flax, hemp, kapok, jute, ramie, and bamboo.
- Animal fibers come from animals, such as silk from silkworms and wool, mohair, cashmere, camel hair, and alpaca from various animals.
Man-Made Fibres
- Organic fibers are synthetic or regenerated (semi-synthetic). Examples include various polymers (viscose, lyocell, tencel).
- Inorganic fibers don't originate from living things. Examples include carbon, glass, and ceramic fibers.
Yarns
- Yarns are spun threads used in weaving or knitting.
- Spinning methods include distaff and spindle, spinning wheel, spinning machines, and open-ended spinning, among others.
Fabric Production
- Textiles in the fashion industry can be woven, knitted, or non-woven.
- Weaving involves interlacing warp and weft yarns at right angles.
- Warp yarns are vertical, and weft yarns are horizontal.
- Weaves include plain, satin, and twill.
- Plain weave (platneni vez) has a simple criss-cross pattern.
- Satin weave (atlasni vez) has a glossy face and dull back, determined by the warp yarns.
- Twill weave (keperni vez) has a distinct diagonal pattern created by the weft yarns.
Knitting
- Knitting is a fabric production method creating loops by interlacing yarn.
Colour
- Colour is a visual sensation from retina stimulation.
- Colour has three main parts: hue, saturation, and value.
- Hues are pure colours.
- Saturation is the intensity or purity of a colour.
- Value is the lightness or darkness of a hue.
- Tints are colours mixed with white, while shades are mixed with black.
- Tones are colours mixed with grey.
Clothing Categories
- Clothing can be categorized by production method (knitwear), layers (underwear, outer), time of day (morningwear, eveningwear), purpose (activewear, beachwear), or intended wearer (children's, men's, women's).
