8
Textiles Textiles are any products made from fibers, including fabrics Textiles in Interiors include: carpets, rugs, upholstery, curtains, tablecloths, towels, sheets, etc.
9
Textiles in the Home Appearance Overall visual effect Durability Ability to last Maintenance Care needed to keep fabrics clean and looking their best Comfort Visual and physical comfort Ease of Construction The ease with which the fabric is managed Cost Purchase the best fabric for its use; cheaper is not always better
10
Fibers Fibers are the raw materials from which fabric is made Two categories of Fibers: Natural and Manufactured
11
Natural Fibers Come from plant and animal sources Two types: Cellulosic and Protein
12
Cellulosic Natural Fibers Come from the cellulose in plants Absorbent, launder well, resist insect damage Burn easily, stained by mildew, wrinkle easily Examples: Cotton- cotton plant Linen- flax plant Ramie- China grass Kapok- Kapok tree Refer to Table 13-1, Cellulosic Natural Fibers
13
Cotton Characteristics: Absorbent Strong Dyes well Shrinks in hot water Uses Sheets Comforters Rugs Towels Upholstery Draperies
14
Linen Characteristics: Strong Wears Well Uses Tablecloth Upholstery Comforters Kitchen Towels Draperies
15
Ramie Characteristics: Dyes well High Gloss or shine Shrinks Uses Table linens
16
Kapok Characteristics: Light Soft Not washable Uses Pillows and pad Filling
17
Protein Natural Fibers Come from animal sources Burn slowly, elastic Resilient = return to original size and shape Need to be dry-cleaned Examples: Silk- from silkworm cocoon Wool- Hair of sheep Animal Skins, Leather and Fur Refer to Table 13-2, Protein Natural Fibers
18
Silk Characteristics: Strong Absorbent Dyes Well Lustrous Water spots easily Uses Draperies Lampshades Wall Hangings Upholstery
19
Wool Characteristics: Absorbent Wrinkle resistant Not moth resistant Shrinks Uses Rugs Curtains Blankets Draperies Upholstery
20
Animal Skins, Leather, Fur Today these are produced synthetically
21
Manufactured Fibers Come from wood cellulose, oil products, and other chemicals Two categories: Cellulosic and Non-Cellulosic
22
Manufactured Fibers Launder Well, mothproof, non-allergenic Examples Acetate Acrylic Glass Metallic Modacrylic Nylon Olefin Polyester Rayon Refer to Table 13-3, Manufactured Fabrics
23
Nylon Characteristics: Strong Resistant to Chemical Damage Does not stretch, shrink or absorb water Creates static electricity Uses Carpet Curtains Draperies Slipcovers Tablecloths Upholstery
24
Rayon Characteristics: Highly Absorbent Soft Dyes Easily Drapes well Weak Uses Bedding Draperies Slipcovers Tablecloths Upholstery
25
Polyester Characteristics: Strong Resistant to shrinkage, abrasion Holds shape Low absorbency Heat Sensitive Uses Carpet Bedding Curtains Draperies Rugs Tablecloths Upholstery
26
Olefin Characteristics: Lightweight Strong Resistant to abrasion Heat Sensitive Nonabsorbent Uses Carpet Backing and Carpet Slipcover Upholstery
27
Acetate Characteristics: Drapes Well Dyes Easily Weak Heat Sensitive Uses Bedspreads Draperies Upholstery Sheers
28
Acrylic Characteristics: Warm Lightweight Resists Wrinkles Low absorbency Heat Sensitive Uses Blankets Carpets Draperies Rugs Upholstery
29
Fabric Construction Fibers are spun or twisted into yarns A yarn can be made from a single type of fiber or from two or more different fibers (blend) Blends bring out good qualities of some fibers and hide the bad qualities
30
Fabric Construction Woven Fabrics- created by weaving yarns together. Weaving – Interlacing of two sets of yarns at right angles to each other Knitted Fabrics- looping of yarns together Single, double, jersey, rib, jacquard Nonwoven Fabrics- joined together using heat, moisture, chemicals, friction, or pressure Felt, vinyl, leather
31
Fabric Construction WOVENKNITTED NONWOVEN
32
Yarns Weaving – Interlacing of two sets of yarns at right angles to each other Warp- Lengthwise direction (up and down) Weft- Filling yarns that run in the crosswise direction (right to left)
33
Fabric Construction Grain- The direction that yarns run in a woven fabric Nap- Layer of fiber ends that stand up from the surface of the fabric Appears different when viewed from different directions Example: velvet
34
Fabric Construction Tomorrow we will look at the various types of weaves and knits! Right now, lets finish the notes by looking at a few laws created in relation to Textiles…
35
Laws Textile Fiber Products Identification Act (1960) sets regulations regarding the advertising and labeling of textile fiber products http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/textile/textlact.htm http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/textile/textlact.htm Wool Products Labeling Act (1939) Requires anyone who manufacturers or sells products containing wool to accurately label each item with the fiber content and origin http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/textile/woolact.htm http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/textile/woolact.htm Flammable Fabrics Act (1953) Regulates the manufacture of highly flammable fabric http://www.cpsc.gov/businfo/ffatext.html http://www.cpsc.gov/businfo/ffatext.html

Project Discuss Spoonflower Project DUE Monday 10/13
37
Bell Ringer 10/9 Look at the tag in the back of your shirt (your neighbor can help you do this ) and write down the fibers in your shirt.
38
Objective Recognize Basic Textiles used in interiors.
39
Outline/Vocab (on your course outline sheet) A. Fibers 1. Natural a. Cellulosic (1) Cotton (2) Flax (3) Ramie b. Protein (1) Silk (2) Wool (3) Animal Skins (a) Leather (b) Fur
40
Outline/Vocab (on your course outline sheet) 2. Manufactured a. Nylon b. Rayon c. Polyester d. Olefin e. Acetate f. Acrylic
41
Outline/Vocab (on your course outline sheet) B. Fabric Construction 1. Yarns a. Warp yarns b. Weft yarns 2. Grain 3. Nap 4. Blends C. Types of weaves 1. Plain 2. Twill 3. Satin 4. Jacquard 5. Non-woven
42
Outline/Vocab (on your course outline sheet) D. Laws 1. Textile Fiber Products Identification Act 2. Wool Products Labeling Act 3. Flammable Fabrics Act
43
Types of Weaves Plain Weave- simplest Weft goes over and under each warp Basket Weave Similar to Plain weave Two or more weft yarns are interlaced with two or more warp weaves
44
Types of Weaves
45
Twill Weave The warp or the weft yarn passes over two or more yarns Each succeeding pass begins one yarn above or below the last one Results in a WALE – diagonal rib pattern in the fabric
46
Types of Weaves
47
Satin Weave Has long FLOATS or portions of yarn on the surface of fabric The warp or the weft float over 4 or more opposite yarns Each succeeding float begins two yarns away from the beginning of the last one Results in a smooth and slippery fabric
48
Types of Weaves
49
Pile Weave Variation of plain and twill weaves Yarn loops or cut yarns that stand away from the base of the fabric Pile fabrics have a nap Examples- Velvet, Corduroy, Terry cloth
50
Types of Knits Jersey- one flat side and one piled side Most common T-shirts! Rib- vertical stripes created by wales Jacquard- created on an electric loom Complex upholstery fabrics
51
Types of Knits
