This document summarizes different textile techniques taught in a creative textiles class, including embroidery, yarn crafts, fabric manipulation, quilting, tie dye, and block printing. For each technique, there is a brief definition and examples provided. The document concludes with final samples created by a student exploring the theme of "delicate/soft" through different combinations of techniques like crochet, pleating, transparency, and crystal embellishments.

5. Yarn Craft
 Knitting
Knitting creates multiple loops of yarn, called stitches, in a line or tube. Knitting has multiple
active stitches on the needle at one time. Knitted fabric consists of a number of consecutive
rows of interlocking loops. As each row progresses, a newly created loop is pulled through
one or more loops from the prior row, placed on the gaining needle, and the loops from the
prior row are then pulled off the other needle.

6.  Crochet
Crochet is a process of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn, thread, or strands of
other materials using a crochet hook.

12. Fabric Manipulation
Fabric manipulation is when you simply create shapes patterns out of fabric, this often makes the
fabric more 3D like, not flat.

16. Tie and Dye
Tie-dye is a modern term invented in the mid-1960s in the United States for a set of ancient resist-
dyeing techniques, and for the products of these processes. The process of tie-dye typically consists
of folding, twisting, pleating, or crumpling fabric or a garment and binding with string or rubber
bands, followed by application of dye(s). The manipulations of the fabric prior to application of dye
are called resists, as they partially or completely prevent the applied dye from coloring the fabric.
More sophisticated tie-dyes involve additional steps, including an initial application of dye prior to the
resist, multiple sequential dye and resist steps, and the use of other types of resists (stitching,
stencils) and discharge.
