Fibre to Fabrics
Synthetic Fibre
Nylon
Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers composed of polyamides (repeating units linked by amide links). Nylon is a thermoplastic silky material, generally made from petroleum, that can be melt-processed into fibers, films, or shapes.
Polyster
Polyester is a category of polymers that contain the ester functional group in every repeat unit of their main chain. ... Synthetic polyesters are used extensively in clothing. Polyester fibers are sometimes spun together with natural fibers to produce a cloth with blended properties.
Wool
Wool is a textile fiber obtained from sheep and some other animals, including cashmere and mohair from goats, qiviut from muskoxen, angora from rabbits, and other types of wool from camelids. Wool fibre is a highly organized structure whose main histological components include the cuticle, cortex and medulla.
Wool is a type of fiber that is obtained from sheep and some other animals. Wool from goats is called cashmere and mohair, from muskoxen is qiviut and from rabbit - angora. ... First woven wool garments date from 400BC to 300BC. At about the same time woolly-sheep came to Europe from the Near East.
Cotton
Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective case, around the seeds of the cotton plants of the genus Gossypium in the mallow family Malvaceae. The fiber is almost pure cellulose. ... The fiber is most often spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft, breathable textile.
Spinning
The sheet-shaped lap processed in the mixing and blowing process is combed using the carding machine to separate the fibers and remove fine dust and short fibers.
Weaving
Weaving is a method of textile production in which two distinct sets of yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles to form a fabric or cloth. Other methods are knitting, crocheting, felting, and braiding or plaiting
Ginning
Ginning is the first mechanical process involved in processing cotton. Ginning machine separates cotton fibers from the seed bolls and dust particles.
History
In the Indus River Valley in Pakistan, cotton was being grown, spun and woven into cloth 3,000 years BC. ... Arab merchants brought cotton cloth to Europe about 800 A.D. When Columbus discovered America in 1492, he found cotton growing in the Bahama Islands. By 1500, cotton was known generally throughout the world.
Jute
Jute is a long, soft, shiny bast fiber that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. ... Jute is one of the most affordable natural fibers, and second only to cotton in the amount produced and variety of uses. Jute fibers are composed primarily of the plant materials cellulose and lignin.
Retting
Retting is the process of extracting fibers from the long lasting life stem or bast of the bast fiber plant
History
For centuries, jute has been an integral part of the culture of East Bengal and some parts of West Bengal, precisely in the southwest of Bangladesh. The British started trading in jute during the seventeenth century. During the reign of the British Empire, jute was also used in the military.
