FABRIC PRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

Fabric can be made by different meth-ods. Fabric is the combination of yarns to make a full sheet. Fabric can be made by weaving, knitting and non- woven techniques. Weaving and knitting meth-ods require long yarns but non-wo-ven method can use small fibres also. Weaving is the name given to the inter-lacing of two sets of yarns, warp and weft at right angles and the fabric thus formed is called as woven fabric. The warp yarns are those yarns which lie in the length-wise direction of a fabric and the cross-wise yarns are called weft. The direction of the yarns is considered important in garment designing. The lengthwise edge of fabric is called ­selvedge. Grain indi-cates the direction of the warp or weft yarn. If the yarns are not at right angle, it is called off grain.
