Chapter 12 Fabric Construction

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.

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.
