Fiber is the fundamental component required for making textile yarns and fabrics. Fibers can be divided into Natural Fibres and Man-made or chemical fibers.

Fiber Properties | Identification of Fibers | History of Fibers | Natural Fibers | Man-made Fibers

Natural fibre is any hair like raw material directly obtainable from animals, vegetables or mineral source and convertible into non-woven fabrics such as felt or after spinning into yarns or woven/knitted cloth.

Manmade Fibers

Those fibers made by chemical synthesis are often called synthetic fibers, while fibers regenerated from natural polymer sources are called regenerated fibers or natural polymer fibers.

Spinning

The object of spinning and of the process that precede it is to transform the single fibers into a cohesive and workable continuous length yarn.

Fabrics

Fabrics are made from yarns and are constructed mostly either by weaving or knitting. Felts are fabrics made directly from fibers without making yarns.

Weaving

Weaving is the process of making cloth with two components, a warp and a weft, and can be done by very simple techniques on complicated machines known as Looms.

Knitting

Knitting is the most common method of inter-looping and is second only to weaving as a method of manufacturing textile products.

Garments/Apparel

Apparel manufacturing involves different steps, beginning with the idea or design concept and ending with a finished garment.

Machine Embroidery

Embroidery is the art or handicraft of decorating fabric or other materials with needle and thread or yarn. Often embroidery types were named after the predominate stitch that was used, such as cross-stitch.
