Materials Used to Make Fabrics

There are various materials and methods for making textile fabrics. Some of the oldest fabric structures consist of yarns used to weave, knit, braid, and knot. Newer methods of making fabrics may use fibers, stitching, solutions, foam, or combinations to make textile fabrics. The structure of the fabric deter­mines its characteristics, such as appearance, texture, end uses, performance, and cost. 
1. Fabrics from Solution
The first group of fabrics is made from solutions. Sometimes these are not considered textile fabrics because they are not made with fibers, but because they have some apparel and home furnishings uses, they will be described.

2. Fabrics from  Fiber
The second group of fabrics is made directly from fibers. This group includes felt, which is made using an old technique, and nonwovens, which require a modem technique.

3. Fabrics from Yarn
The third group of fabrics is made from yams. These are the most widely available fabrics and the most familiar as they are used to make clothing and home furnishings. Within this group are further divisions into the various woven, knitted, knotted, and braided fabrics.

4. Composite Fabrics
The fourth last group of fabrics is called composite fabrics; they are made from one fabric plus fibers, yams, foams, or films.

5. Multi Component Fabrics
The last group of fabrics is called the multicomponent fabrics because they are made from two or more fabrics joined into another fabric structure. Familiar fabrics in this group include quilted, bonded, and laminated fabrics.

    The section on yarn-based fabrics highlights the importance of weaving and knitting in creating textiles. I think it's interesting how these techniques still dominate the textile industry today for producing a wide variety of fabrics for different uses.

    Composite fabrics are an exciting area of innovation. The use of materials like foams and films alongside traditional fabrics adds a new dimension to textile design, allowing for functional fabrics with enhanced properties such as water resistance and insulation.

    Overall, the breakdown of fabric types is helpful for understanding the evolution of textile manufacturing. It makes me wonder how emerging technologies like 3D printing and smart textiles will further change the way we make and use fabrics in the future.
