WHAT IS FABRIC?

Fabrics or textiles are sheet-like materials made by interlacing and linking threads or fibers.

When this process occurs with longitudinal (warp) and transverse (weft) threads, they are called 'woven fabrics'. When it is done with loops forming a mesh, they are called 'knitted fabrics' or 'knits'. They can also be made by interlacing two or more warp threads without weft, like some types of tulle.

The textile industry is known as weaving. The manufacture of fabrics from natural, artificial, or synthetic fibers, along with their multiple combinations, creates a wide variety of fabric types.

Human beings created different types of textiles to protect their bodies and their homes from various climatic phenomena (heat, cold, rain, wind, light). In the Neolithic period, they started spinning flax for summer and wool for winter, for which they invented the spindle and the loom. Later on, they began to create all kinds of accessories, tools, and complements with the fabric, including hats.

The design of looms was refined over the centuries, but broadly speaking did not undergo substantial changes until the inclusion of the steam engine. This gave rise to the industrial loom, which drastically multiplied the production of textiles, thereby reducing their price.

We can classify fabrics into 3 types according to their structure:

  • Plain or 'warp and weft' fabrics, which include taffeta, twill and satin or satin.
  • Complex fabrics (more elaborate than plain ones) which include pile fabrics (corduroy, velvet...), double cloth or reversible fabrics, and others such as brocades, piqué, damasks, etc.
  • Knitted fabrics, which can be flat or tubular depending on the machine used.
