Instructions:
  • Answer 28 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

1. Vertical






2. A fitted knit used for more stretch






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






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






5. Horizontal - all hand knitted fabrics






6. Full- fashioned






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






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






9. Rotary screen print






10. Printing directly on to griege goods






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






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






13. 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.






14. Faux fur - velour - terrycloth






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






16. The Transfer of color rubbing






17. The beginning of synthetics






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






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






20. The batch of colored fabric






21. Socks - hats - sleeves






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






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






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






25. 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.






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






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






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