  1. Textiles! Fashion Marketing Miss Orndorff

  2. Warm-Up What Element of Design (that we talked about last class) is determined by a garment’s fabric? Hint in needed: the way a garment feels.

  3. Texture • The tactile quality of goods, or how the surface of a material feels and looks • Character of fabric • Determined by fiber, yarns, and method of construction

  4. Objectives for today : • Identify and distinguish the characteristics of natural fibers and manufactured fibers • Compare and contrast the characteristics of knits and weaves • Describe the relationship between fabric characteristics and product use • List additional industries that use textile products

  5. What is a textile? • A textile is any product made from fibers. Well then, what are fibers? • Fibers are what all fabrics are made of; the smallest unit of a textile fabric.

  6. What is a yarn? • A yarn is a continuous thread formed by twisting or spinning fabrics together; yarns can be woven, knitted, or pressed together to make a fabric (or textile).

  7. What are the characteristics of a natural fiber? • Natural fibers come from animals and plants. • They are usually comfortable to wear and durable, they will not melt when pressed, and some are expensive. • Examples include silk, wool, angora, cashmere, cotton, and linen

  8. What are the characteristics of a natural fiber? • Manufactured fibers are formed from raw materials through manufacturing processes in factories. • They do not occur as fibers in nature but they can be made from some natural substances. • Examples include acetate, rayon, acrylic, modacrylic, nylon, olefin, polyester, and spandex

  9. What is the difference between a knit and a weave?

  10. A Knit: • Knits (knitted fabrics): have interlocking loops; these stretch and return to their natural shape. • Examples include fleece, sweater knits, stretch velour, and jerseys.

  11. A Weave: • Weaves (woven fabrics): interlacing yarns at right angles. Examples of the most common types of weaves are….

  12. Plain Weave Twill Weave Satin Weave Basket Weave

  13. What about non-woven? • Nonwovens: fabrics made of binding fibers or yarns together into a web. The fibers may be held together. This is not used for clothing, but for crafts like felt, diapers, and sheets.

  14. What’s the relationship between fabric characteristics and product use? • Washability: the ability for an garment to be washed. • Durability: How strong your garment is.

  15. What’s the relationship between fabric characteristics and product use? • Flame resistance: Will the garment catch on fire? • Absorbancy: How well the garment will absorb water when submerged. • Warmth: How warm a garment is

  16. What other industries use textile products? • Interior design (curtains, rugs, carpets, towels, furniture) • Fire hoses • Industrial belts (like the one in your car!) • Cloth used for crop protection on farms

  17. Recap: • What’s the difference between natural and man-made fibers? • What’s the difference between a knit and woven fabric?
