- Textiles 2a
- Sustainability
- Clothes are now being made to last longer and maintain itself
- Is better for the environment
- Recycling old fabrics has a better impact on the environment
- Use less energy
- If there in manufacturing in our country less money is used to transport items
- Use less energy
- Recycling old fabrics has a better impact on the environment
- Is better for the environment
- Clothes are now being made to last longer and maintain itself
- Fabrics and Fibres
- Fibres
- Natural
- Cotton- from cotton plant
- Cool to wear, absobent, soft to handle, good drape, durable, can be washed and irones
- Dries slowly, creases easily
- Cool to wear, absobent, soft to handle, good drape, durable, can be washed and irones
- Wool- from sheep
- Warm to wear, absorbent, breathable, repels rain, soft handle, good drape, creases drop out
- Coarse handle, can shrink, should be dry cleaned, not durable
- Warm to wear, absorbent, breathable, repels rain, soft handle, good drape, creases drop out
- Linen- from flax plant
- Fresh and cool to wear, very absorbent, dries quickly, good drape, durable, can be washed and ironed
- Stiffer to handle, creases badly

- Fibres
- Stage 2- Weaving/ Knitting, yarns become fabrics
- Stage 3- Finishing- Fabrics are finished to make them more useful
- Fibres
- Production Methods
- One-off production
- One product is made at a time, each is different so labour is intensive, can be made by hand or machine
- Batch Production
- Small quantity of identical products, also labour is intensive but used with jigs and templates for aid, can be made as often as required
- Mass Production
- Hundreds of identical products usually from a production line, often involves assembly of number of sub-assemblies. Usually an automation tasks, enables smaller number of workers to output productions
- Continuous Flow
- Thousands of identical products made
- Production is 24/7 to eliminate extra costs and maximise production
- Few workers are required for a highly automated process
- Production is 24/7 to eliminate extra costs and maximise production
- Thousands of identical products made
- One-off production
- Smart, Modern and Interactive
- Maximise characteristics eg lightness, breathability, waterproof
- Usually manufactured using microfibres
- Maximise characteristics eg lightness, breathability, waterproof
- Care and safety labels in textiles
- Fabric Construction
- Fibers are spun into yarns and are then woven or knitting into fabrics
- Synthetic are continuous
- Natural are short staple (except silk)
- Woven
- Made by Weaving Yarns
- Plain weave, Twill weave, satin weave
- Others are Ribbed, Basket, Jacquard, Pile
- Plain weave, Twill weave, satin weave
- Properties
- Can be woven from different desnsities
- Can stretch on the bias of the fabric
- Strongest on the grain line
- Edges don't fray until cut
- Strongest on the grain line
- Can stretch on the bias of the fabric
- Can be woven from different desnsities
- Made by Weaving Yarns
- Kniited
- Wrap-knitted
- Yarn loops vertically
- Hard to unravel, can be cut and sewn easily
- Is elastic and can hold it's shape
- Expensive to produce
- Is elastic and can hold it's shape
- Hard to unravel, can be cut and sewn easily
- Yarn loops vertically
- Weft-Knitted
- Can be done by hand or machine
- Form interlocking loop of yarn across width
- Great elasticity
- Loses shape easily
- Great elasticity
- Form interlocking loop of yarn across width
- Can be done by hand or machine
- Wrap-knitted
- Non-woven
- Use fibres not yarns
- Felted
- Short staple fibres eg wool
- Pressed together using heat/moisture or hot needles
- Used for hats, snooker table covers
- Pressed together using heat/moisture or hot needles
- Short staple fibres eg wool
- Bonded
- 3 methods: Dry laid, wet laid, direst spun
- Used for medical masks, disposable products
