1. Faux fur - velour - terrycloth






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






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






4. 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.






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






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






7. Full- fashioned






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






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






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






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






12. A fitted knit used for more stretch






13. Horizontal - all hand knitted fabrics






14. The beginning of synthetics






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






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






17. The Transfer of color rubbing






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






19. 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.






20. Rotary screen print






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






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






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






24. Vertical






25. Printing directly on to griege goods






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






27. The batch of colored fabric






28. Socks - hats - sleeves
