Fabric Construction
- WOVEN
- Woven fabrics are made up of two sets of
inter-woven yarns. The warp travels up and down
and the weft travels in and out across the fabric.
- Plain Weave
- Simplest weave
- Weft yarn passes under and
over alternate warp yarns
- Simplest weave
- Twill Weave
- Fabric is woven so that diagonal
ridges appear on the right side
- Fabric is woven so that diagonal
ridges appear on the right side
- Satin Weave
- Weft yarn goes under several
warp yarns and over one
- There are more yarns lying on the
surface so the fabric looks shiny
- Weft yarn goes under several
warp yarns and over one
- Properties of Woven Fabric
- Durable
- Strong
- Stable
- Good cover
- Degree of fire
resistance
- Degree of
wind
repellence
- Degree of water repellence
- Firm
- Will fray
- Have body
- Can stretch but
only on the bias
- Durable
- Woven fabrics are made up of two sets of
inter-woven yarns. The warp travels up and down
and the weft travels in and out across the fabric.
- KNITTED
- Knitted fabrics have a looped
structure and stretch more
than woven fabrics. They can
be constructed using one or
more yarns.
- Weft Knitting
- Can be done using
machine or by hand
- Made up of rows of
interlocking loops
- Often knitted in a circle
- TYPES: Single jersey,
ribbing, fake fur
- Characteristics
- High elasticity/stretch
- Loops trap air and retain heat
- Can lose shape easily
- Can unravel and ladder
- Different sides
- High elasticity/stretch
- Can be done using
machine or by hand
- Warp Knitting
- The yarn loops in a
vertical direction
- Characteristics
- Both sides are the same
- Speedy production
- Machine is complicated to set up
- Slightly stretchy
- Does not lose shape
- Does not unravel or ladder
- Both sides are the same
- TYPES: Netting
- The yarn loops in a
vertical direction
- Knitted fabrics have a looped
structure and stretch more
than woven fabrics. They can
be constructed using one or
more yarns.
- NON-WOVEN
- Bonded
- Porperties
- Do not fray
- Weak
- Can be made from recycled fibres
- Cheap to produce
- Can be made in a range of weights
- Poor drape
- Do not fray
- Porperties
- Felt/Laminated
- When two or more fabrics are bonded
together to give extra insulation or protection
- When two or more fabrics are bonded
together to give extra insulation or protection
- Non-woven fabrics are made
directly from fibres which are arranged in
a layer and fused together or are felted
together using friction and heat.
- Bonded
