about fiber, yarn And Fabrics

1. Fiber, Yarn & Fabric
Presented By,

2. Fiber
Fibre is a rope or string used as a component of composite materials, or matted into sheets to make products
such as paper or felt. Fibers are often used in the manufacture of other materials. The strongest engineering
materials are generally made as fibers, for example carbon fiber and Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene.
Synthetic fibers can often be produced very cheaply and in large amounts compared to natural fibers, but for
clothing natural fibers can give some benefits, such as comfort, over their synthetic counterparts.

3. Fiber Types
Natural Fibres
Natural fibers include those produced by plants,
animals, and geological processes. They are
biodegradable over time. They can be classified
according to their origin:
 Vegetable fibers
 Wood fiber
 Animal fibers
 Mineral fibers
Man-made Fibres
Man-made fibers or chemical fibers are fibers whose
chemical composition, structure, and properties are
significantly modified during the manufacturing
process. Man-made fibers consist of regenerated fibers
and synthetic fibers.
 Regenerated fibers
 Cellulose fibers
 Semi-synthetic fibers
 Synthetic fibers
 Metallic fibers
 Carbon fiber

4. Yarn
Yarn is a long continuous length of interlocked fibres, suitable for use in the production of textiles, sewing,
crocheting, knitting, weaving, embroidery, and rope making. Thread is a type of yarn intended for sewing by
hand or machine. Modern manufactured sewing threads may be finished with wax or other lubricants to
withstand the stresses involved in sewing. Embroidery threads are yarns specifically designed for hand or
machine embroidery.

Viscose Yarn

5. Types Of Yarn
There are three types of yarns:
Staple spun yarn
Is made from staple fibres – cotton or wool or manufactured fibres cut
into short lengths
Is an uneven, weak yarn with poor lustre and durability. Staple spun yarns
have good elasticity, resiliency and absorbency
Are used mainly for apparel and furnishings
Monofilament yarn
Is manufactured from one filament of manufactured fibre
Is fine and strong with good lustre and durability, but is
inelastic, has poor resiliency and absorbency.
Monofilament yarns are used primarily for hosiery and invisible
sewing thread.
Multifilament yarn
Is made from two or more filaments of a manufactured fibre
Is an even, strong yarn with good lustre and durability; has medium
elasticity and resiliency and is slightly absorbent
Is used primarily for evening wear and lingerie.

6. Fabric
The words fabric and cloth are used in textile assembly trades (such as tailoring and dressmaking) as synonyms for
te xtile . However, there are subtle differences in these terms in specialized usage. Te xtile refers to any material made
of interlacing fibres. Fabric refers to any material made through weaving, knitting, spreading, crocheting, or bonding
that may be used in production of further goods (garments, etc.). Clo th may be used synonymously with fabric but
often refers to a finished piece of fabric used for a specific purpose (e.g., table clo th).

Silk Fabric
White Fabric
Chinese Silk Fabric

7. Fabric Types
 Cotton – made from a short plant fibre, it’s among the most popular fabrics because it is easily washed and resists fading
plus other signs of wear. However, it wrinkles and becomes soiled easily, so a cotton/polyester blend is often preferable.
 Polyester – a strong and durable man-made fibre, it is wrinkle-resistant, can be washed without requiring dry cleaning, and
dries quickly.
 Silk – one of the strongest natural fibres, it’s spun from the fibres in the cocoon of a Chinese silkworm into a smooth, soft,
shiny fabric that is not slippery, unlike many synthetic fibres.
 Microfiber – this refers to fabrics that are made using extremely thin synthetic fibers, most often polyester. The exact
shape, size, and combination of synthetic fibers depends on the desired characteristics of the final fabric, including
softness, durability, absorption, water repellency, and wicking properties, or breathability.
 Wool – a protein animal fibre, the word typically refers to hair from sheep. Fabric made from the hair of goats is called
cashmere or “mohair”; hair from animals in the camel family is called “vicuna,” “alpaca,” or “camel”; and hair from rabbits is
“angora”
 Jacquard – fabric with a complex, ornate pattern woven or knit into it, such as tapestry.

8. Usage Of Fabric
 Sheets and pillowcases
 Upholstery for the lounge
chair, sofa, ottoman, and
desk chair
 bedding, notably the bed
skirt, duvet, and scarf which is
draped across the mattress
near the foot of the bed
 decorative pillows
 draperies and sheers
 carpeting
 Towels
 headboard, if an upholstered
and padded style is used

9. Usage In The Hospitality Industry
