Introduction to Fabric Manufacturing
Fabric Manufacturing Technologies |
Textile fabrics are generally two
dimensional flexible materials made by interlacing of yarns or inter-meshing
of loops with the exception of nonwovens and braids. Fabric manufacturing is
one of the four major stages (fibre production, yarn manufacturing, fabric
manufacturing, and textile chemical processing) of textile value chain. Most
of the apparel fabrics are manufactured by weaving technology though knitting
is catching up fast specially in the sportswear segment. Natural fibres in
general and cotton fibre in particular are the most popular raw material for
woven fabrics intended for apparel use. Staple fibres are converted into spun
yarns by the use of a series of machines in the yarn manufacturing section.
Continuous filament yarns are texturised to impart spun yarn like bulk and
appearance to them.

Textile fabrics are special materials
as they are generally light-weight, flexible (easy to bend, shear and twist),
moldable, permeable and strong. There are four major technologies of fabric
manufacturing as listed below.
