1. A fitted knit used for more stretch






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






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






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






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






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






7. The Transfer of color rubbing






8. Full- fashioned






9. 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.






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






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






12. Printing directly on to griege goods






13. 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.






14. Rotary screen print






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






16. Vertical






17. Socks - hats - sleeves






18. Faux fur - velour - terrycloth






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






20. Horizontal - all hand knitted fabrics






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






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






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






24. The batch of colored fabric






25. The beginning of synthetics






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






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






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