What are woven fabrics ?
Woven fabric is the
textile which is formed by
weaving.
It is produced on a loom
and is made by many
threads woven on a warp
and a weft.
Woven fabrics are produced from
virtually in all types of textile fibers
and threads. Depending on the
sector of the textile industry
producing the fabric and the
principal fiber composition, they may
be classified as cotton, linen, wool,
silk, or other fabric. Silk fabrics may
be produced from man-made fibers
or natural silk. Woven fabrics may
be manufactured from a single type
of fiber or thread or with a mixture of
not more than 10 percent of another
type; from a blend of threads
obtained from several types of
fibers; or from an alternation of
various types of threads.
There are various types of fabric which are woven
such as
cotton,linen,silk,crepe,georgette,casement,poplin,etc.
What are non woven fabrics?
Nonwoven fabrics are defined
as sheet or web structures
bonded together by entangling
fiber or filaments (and by
perforating films) mechanically,
thermally, or chemically. They
are flat, porous sheets that are
made directly from separate
fibers or from molten plastic or
plastic film.
