Textile fibers are long, thin substances suitable for fabric production. Fibers must have high length-to-width ratio and be processed into yarns. Yarns are formed by twisting bundles of fibers together
Textile engineering combines engineering, science, and technology for textile production. Field covers fiber production to product development and sustainability. Engineers create high-quality, functional textiles for various applications
Knitting creates fabric by intermeshing yarn loops horizontally and vertically. Horizontal loops are called course, vertical loops are called wales
Fabric abrasion resistance measures textile's ability to resist repetitive mechanical friction. Testing improves textile utilization efficiency as key quality indicator. Before testers, quality judged by personal experience
Textile fibers are materials that can withstand tensile, friction and bending forces. Fibers must have high length-to-width ratio and be flexible. Natural fibers are produced from plants, animals or minerals. Synthetic fibers are made from petroleum products
Ring spinning is the oldest spinning process used in textile industry. Fibers are supplied as roving and reduced by drafting unit. Spindle twists fibers while stationary ring holds traveller. Traveller moves on ring without physical drive, controlled by yarn
