Making Textile Materials

Textile materials are made in three main stages. Start = Spinning the fibres into yarns. Middle = Weaving or knitting yarns to make fabric. End = Finishing fabrics to make them more useful. Why doesn’t this include bonded / non-woven fabrics?. Making Textile Materials.

  9. Making Textile Materials Cotton Emblem • Properties – • Poor Insulators • Stronger when wet than dry • Able to hold moisture well • Hardwearing

  10. Making Textile Materials Linen seal Cotton Emblem • Properties – • Poor insulators • Highly absorbent • Hard wearing • Crease easily • Poor elasticity • Properties – • Poor Insulators • Stronger when wet than dry • Able to hold moisture well • Hardwearing • Poor elasticity

  11. Making Textile Materials Wool Mark Linen seal Cotton Emblem • Properties – • Good insulator • Good elasticity • Highly absorbent • Does not crease easily. • Properties – • Poor insulators • Highly absorbent • Hard wearing • Crease easily • Poor elasticity • Properties – • Poor Insulators • Stronger when wet than dry • Able to hold moisture well • Hardwearing • Poor elasticity Using the AQA textbook = pages 62 + 63 Research other properties, advantages and disadvantages of the fibres.

  12. Making Textile Materials • Nylon • Properties – • Absorbs little water • Very strong and resistant to wear • Very crease resistant • Affected by static electricity – which effects the drape • Polyester • Properties – • Strong, hardwearing • Crease resistant • Easy to wash and care for • Resistant to staining Using the AQA textbook = pages 66 + 67 Research other properties, advantages and disadvantages of the fibres.

  13. Making Textile Materials Reasons for Fibre blending Improving the Quality Appearance Profitability Improving the colour or the lustre Improving the cost efficiency – diluting expensive fibres with cheaper fibres Improving the aftercare performance eg – washing, drying, ironing, shrinking Improving the performance of the end product – eg creasing, abrasion, durability Blending ratios with synthetic fibres and natural fibres are usually 70:30 and 50:50 Improving the comfort of the end product – eg softer next to the skin, absorption, thermal insulation All fibre blends help to reduce the cost, improve the aftercare properties and improve durability.

  14. Making Textile Materials Polyester Polymide (Nylon) (both add easy care and durability) Bedding, Clothing, Lingerie, Furnishing fabrics Cotton Viscose Modal (both add lustre) Why is Care labelling of blends very important? Using the AQA textbook = pages 68 + 69 List three advantages for manufacturers in mixing / blending fibres together. Give examples of blended fibres and their end uses. What benefits would you create by blending the following – Wool + Polyester = Cotton + Linen =
