1. The Transfer of color rubbing






2. 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.






3. 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.






4. Faux fur - velour - terrycloth






5. Horizontal - all hand knitted fabrics






6. The beginning of synthetics






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






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






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






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






11. A fitted knit used for more stretch






12. The batch of colored fabric






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






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






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






16. Vertical






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






18. Rotary screen print






19. Socks - hats - sleeves






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






21. Printing directly on to griege goods






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






23. Full- fashioned






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






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






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






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






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