4 Woven Fabrics
-
Khubab Shaker
Abstract
The fabrics are used for clothing as well as for industrial and technical applications. The end application depends on the fabric structure and the raw material used. The main categories of fabrics are woven, knitted, and nonwoven fabrics. All these types vary considerably in the process, production rate, and fabric structure. The woven fabrics are produced by the interlacement of two sets of yarns, namely warp and weft. Prior to interlacement, the warp yarn is prepared by a series of steps including winding, warping, sizing, and drawing in/knotting. The woven fabric is then produced by interlacing warp and weft on the loom, following a series of loom motions in a specific sequence. The fabric produced is inspected for any defects before dispatch.
