Looking at fabrics

Today was actually quite interesting, Karen had us looking more at materials and what they are made of such as clothes are made up of a number of materials, to make them either soft, hard, stretchy or rigid. We also looked at care labels inside clothing and it is amazing at how much people don't follow what the labels says, we established that it was there so there is nothing on the companys head.
To start with we did an exercise to show all the different things of fabric:
  • Warp and Weft
  • Bias and straight of grain, selvage, weight, size
  • Stretched, bonded, knitted, woven, blended, fibres
  • Patterned, bleached, aged, faded, dyed, tye dye, print, embrodiered, batik
  • organic, natural, man made, techno fabrics, hydrophobic, water souble
  • Jersey, Twill, Cotton, Lace, yarns/wools
