What is Textile might be a simple question for the Textiles expert
like me; but it might be little bit common but unknown to the general
public’s like you. To be frank, textiles is a department which concludes
lots of subcategories and by accumulating all of the textiles terms and products it results the all in one “Textile” or “Textiles”.
Traditionally we think Textiles as cloth that we wear. But to be
specific, textiles mean a woven. A product that is woven by the warp
yarn and weft yarn; no matter it is to be interlaced each other or not.
Other related terms like textile fibers, fabrics, yarn, sliver, machines, knitting, dyeing, printing, designs, art, engineering, cotton,
coir, bamboo, tex, raw materials, synthetics, nano textiles etc are in
the broad Textiles Category. Some other broad but extremely related of
terms that are in Textiles category which is like Garment or Apparels, Yarn Manufacturing, Fabric Manufacturing or Weaving, Dyeing or Printing
(Traditional Dyeing or Digital Printing), Finishing or Final
engineering works on Textiles to make it more appealing to the consumers
and buyers and then Textiles product exporting.
There are three ways about how a textile is made:-
Weaving:
In this method; two yarns is used to interlace each other and this is
how the fabrics are made. By combining two earn from the row to Colum
axis makes a continuous fabric which is later be processed as per
customer needs and requirements. It is worth mentioning that the Warp
yarn is basically stronger than the Weft yarn because Warp yarn would
have to face the hard beats of the reeds.
Knitting:
Knitting needles are used to make such type of fabric. One needle is
continuously providing the adequate yarns to another yarn for making an
interlacement. Some machines named circular Knitting Machines; Compound Knitting
Machine, Flat Knitting machines are used to make such type of fabric.
Textiles called Upholstery are basically a Textile Knitting Technology
and many of such textiles are made by the hand and needles. You better
check out some knitting videos here.
Felted Fabric:
This is probably the most advanced Technology for the Textiles World.
In this technology, textiles are made by felting or pressurizing two
yarns or cloths each other without having any interlacements. No needles
or shuttles or reeds are used to make the Felted Cloth. Basically these
types of Textiles are used as Heavy textiles and sometimes used as a
jacket or overcoat etc.
This is all about the Textiles. If someone ask you about “What is
Textiles?” then you may reply the exact thing which I just told you
above along with some textile related definitions and terms.
