1. 1) Solution dyed 2) Yarn dyed 3) Piece dyed 4) Garment dyed






2. Printing directly on to griege goods






3. Finishing process used on cotton. improves strength - luster - and dyeablility of cotton. The fibers are saturated w/ caustic soda converting them from irregular to round and even.






4. Rotary screen print






5. Full- fashioned






6. Faux fur - velour - terrycloth






7. Socks - hats - sleeves






8. All machine made - doesn't run - lays flat - fastest production - vertical selvage






9. Printing with a chemical substance that destroys the fiber in the pattern - design print area. Thus - a hole in the fabric results.






10. Two fibers w/ one dye. One fiber has efinity - the other doesn't. ex: Heathering






11. The interlacing of yarns to create a fabric. Strong - breathable






12. Finishing process used on silk. makes fabric heavier - soft and light. however - less durable - more sensitive to sunlight - air - aging and perspiration.






13. Horizontal - all hand knitted fabrics






14. Finishing process used on wool. softens and compacts woven fibers. the fabric is agitated then rinsed - causing the yarns to shrink and soften.






15. Fabric that goes through a printer similar to an inkjet printer. Good for fabric with texture.






16. The batch of colored fabric






17. Finishing process of pressing or ironing a fabric at a high speed and under high pressure.






18. Shapes are made into mesh and rolled onto the fabric. Repeat can be up to 40 in long






19. Finishing process in which woven or knitted fabrics are passed against rotating - bristled - wire- covered brushes. the results are fibers being raised from the surface - creating a softer hand and better insulation.






20. A fitted knit used for more stretch






21. The Transfer of color rubbing






22. Vertical






23. Color that is able to blend w/ the fiber.






24. The interlooping of yarns to create a fabric. Stretchy - insulating






25. Yarns that skip over two or more other yarns in woven fabrics






26. How 2 different fibers that are dyed together change depending on the light source they are seen in.






27. Made w/ solid metal rollers - limited to about 5-6in. of repeat.






28. The beginning of synthetics
