Chapter 12 Fabric Construction
Across
- 1. tells the number of strands used in weaving.
- 3. extra yarn can create a textured or patterned design in these knits.
- 4. yarn made of staple fibers.
- 6. raised surface of loops or yarn ends.
- 8. combining different fibers into one yarn.
- 10. yarns that run lengthwise the fabric.
- 14. plain weave variation, filling yarns that are thicker than the warp yarns created ribs.
- 17. knitted polyester fabrics shrunk and felted to give soft, thick appearance.
- 19. looping yarns together.
- 20. ranging from very light to very heavy.
- 23. fabric having unusual textures and colors.
- 24. produces very elaborate and detailed designs
- 26. direction that yarns run in a fabric.
- 28. same on both sides.
- 29. recognized by the parallel diagonal ridges on the fabric surface.
- 30. yarns float on the surface to give a luster or shine.
- 31. warp yarns cross and twist between the filling yarns.
Down
- 1. simplest weave, passing one yarn over nad under each warp yarn.
- 2. uses chemicals, heat, or special machinery to turn the straight,rod-like filaments into coiled, looped,or crimped yarns.
- 4. self-edge formed when filling yarn turns to go back i the opposite direction.
- 5. smal geometric designs are woven with an attachment on the loom
- 7. knitting by hand.
- 9. two yarns and two sets of needles are used to knit these.
- 11. interlacing two sets of yarns that are at right angles to each other.
- 12. crosswise yarns in fabric.
- 13. fabrics consisting of two layers with batting between them.
- 15. plain weave variation, two or more yarns grouped side by side in each direction.
- 16. most common weft knits, called plain knits.
- 18. yarn made entirely of these fibers.
- 21. how a fabric reacts as you handle it.
- 22. fabrics with a layer of foam between an outer and backing fabric.
- 25. when fibers and yarns become fabric.
- 27. vertical ribs, or columns of stitches.
