Fabrics:
Fabric or cloth is a flexible artificial material which is made by weaving or knitting from yarn, although non-woven fabrics are made by bonding or felting fibres together. A fabric's appearance, properties and end use can be affected by the way it was constructed

Woven Fabric
A woven fabric consists of warp and weft yarns which are interlaced each other at right angle. The process of converting a set of yarns into fabric in a loom is called weaving.

Knitted Fabric
Weft-knitted fabric is made by interloping together long lengths of yarn. It can be made by hand or machine. The yarn runs in rows or column across the fabric. The fabric is stretchy and comfortable and is used for socks, T-shirts and jumpers.
Non-Woven Fabric
Nonwoven fabrics are made from webs of fibres (mostly long synthetic fibres) bonded together by heat, chemical, mechanical heat or adhesives. Non-woven fabrics are cheap to produce but not as strong as woven or knitted fabrics. They are easy to sew, crease resistant, do not fray and are stable when washing and dry cleaning Applications Hygiene Baby diapers Feminine hygiene Adult incontinence products Wipes Domestic Technical Filters Geotextiles Carpet backing Composites M.Rana Textile Science
Woven fabric:
On the basis of manufacturing process woven fabrics may be classified as: 1. Solid Dyed Fabric: It is woven with the greige yarn received from spinning. After weaving the fabric is dyed or printed and finished as required. 2. Yarn Dyed Fabric: The yarn received from spinning is dyed first in the yarn form.Then weaving is carried out with the colored yarn. Then the fabric is finished as required. It may be three types: a. Stripe Fabric: When colored pattern is found only warp direction b. Cross-Over Fabric: When colored pattern is found only weft direction c. Check Fabric: When colored pattern is found in both warp and direction

1.0 WARPING
The warping process transfers the yarn from multiple packages to a section beam.
To produce a quality beam suitable for weaving, the following must be accomplished: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8)

2.0 SIZING
1) To reduce the yarn hairiness that would interfere with the weaving process.
2) To protect the yarn from various yarn-to-yarn and yarn-to-loom abrasion. 3) To increase the strength of the yarn

Weaving Principles
Weaving means to make cloth and other objects. Threads or strands of material are passed under and over each other.
In order to interlace warp and weft threads to produce fabric on any type of weaving machine, three operations are necessary :
A) Shedding Separating the warp threads, which run down the fabric into two layers to form a tunnel known as the shed
B) Picking Passing the weft thread, which traverses across the fabric, through the shed C) Beating-up Pushing the newly inserted length of weft, known as the pick, into the already woven fabric at a point known as the fell

Shedding

A. Shedding occurs here Shedding is the lifting of some of the warp yarns, so that the warp is divided into 2 sheets. This creates an opening (a shed) between them for the weft carrier to pass through.
C. Beating-up
The inserted pick is consolidated or beaten-up into the fabric when the new pick is pushed into the cloth-fell by the reed.
B. Picking
The weft yarn taken from one side of the warp through the shed.

Warp control (or let-off) This motion delivers warp to the weaving area at the required rate and at a suitable constant tension by unwinding it from a flanged tube known as the weavers beam

Twill Weave
In twill-weave fabric the crossings of weft and warp are offset to give a diagonal pattern on the fabric surface. It's strong, drapes well and is used for jeans, jackets and curtains.

Satin Weave
In satin-weave fabric there is a complex arrangement of warp and weft threads, which allows longer float threads either across the warp or the weft. The long floats mean the light falling on the yarn doesn't scatter and break up, like on a plain-weave. The reflected light creates a smooth, lustrous (shiny) surface commonly called satin. The reverse side is invariably dull and non-shiny.
