This document discusses the formation and types of fabrics. There are three main stages in fabric formation: fibers are turned into yarn, then yarn is used to make fabric through processes like weaving, knitting, or non-woven bonding. The three primary types of fabrics are knitted, woven, and non-woven. Knitted fabrics are stretchy and comfortable, woven fabrics are tough and durable, and non-woven fabrics are made by interlocking fibers without spinning into yarns. Fabrics have a variety of uses in apparel, furnishings, and industrial products depending on their appearance, texture, performance, and cost.

Fabric
Fibre is the raw material used in making yarn.
Fibre is the initial stage in the process of making
“Fabric”.
Yarn is the 2nd stage in the process of fabric
formation.
Yarn is made by fibre.
It is the raw material used to make fabrics.
 It is the final product after fibre & yarn
formation to make fabric.

4. The basic ingredient for the
development of fabric is
fibre. From a fibre yarns are
made than these yarns are
woven or knitted to form
fabric.
There are several different
types of fabric from two main
sources :- Manmade or
Natural sources.
Fabric formation process
contributes to the fabric
appearance, texture,
performance, end uses and
cost.
A fabric can be used to
make 2-D or 3-D products
that require some shape &
flexibility. Fabrics are used in
Apparel, Furnishing & many
Industrial products,

5. Types Of Fabric
1. Knitted Fabrics
2. Woven Fabrics
3. Non Woven Fabrics

6. Knitted Fabrics
Knitting is a method by which
threads or yarns turned into
cloth or other fine crafts.
Knitting is of two types:-
1. Warp Knit
2. Weft Knit
 Knitted fabrics are stretchy &
mote comfortable to wear.
 Knitted fabrics are used in
Dresses, Ties, Socks,
Sweaters, Blankets,
Furnishings, Fire protection
clothing etc.....
Warp Knitting
Weft Knitting

7. Woven Fabrics
Woven fabrics are formed by
weaving. Weaving is an art of
interlacing the yarns together to
make a piece of fabric.
The main types of weave are
Twill, Satin, Pile and Plain
weave.
Woven fabrics are tough &
durable, and these fabrics are
usually frays at edges.
Woven fabrics includes
muslin, poplin, cotton, chiffon,
corduroy, denim, taffeta, cambric
etc....

8. Non Woven Fabrics
Non Woven fabrics are
produced by interlocking or
bonding fibres together by
chemical, mechanical, heat or
solvent treatment.
Non Woven fabrics are not
made by weaving or knitting and
do not require converting the
fibres to yarn.
Non Woven fabric are used in
surgical masks, caps, tea bags,
carpet backing & packaging....
