Textile refers to the process of transforming fibrous materials into textiles through processes such as spinning and weaving. The definition of textile in a narrow sense refers only to the two basic processes of spinning and weaving. However, in a broad sense, textile can include more processes and technologies, such as dyeing, printing, embroidery, finishing, etc. It plays an important role in daily life and is used in manufacturing clothing, home textiles, industrial materials, etc. yarn
Yarn classification
It can be divided into two major categories according to different sources:
Animal fiber: Fiber from inside or outside animals, such as wool, silk, animal fur fiber, etc.
Mineral fiber: Fiber derived from natural ores or minerals, such as asbestos, etc. However, due to the harmful nature of asbestos, its use has been greatly restricted.
Weaving
1. Weaving flow chart of woven fabrics:
Warping (longitudinal yarns pass through the warping machine in a certain density and sequence to form warp thread)
↓
Sizing (coating a layer of sizing, usually starch or other chemicals, on the warp textile to enhance the strength and smoothness of the warp thread and reduce yarn breakage and friction)
↓
Doubling (the warp thread after sizing is wound around the axis on the loom, which is called doubling)
↓
Drawing-in and reeding (heald is a tool used to thread the weft thread, and the reed is a temporary storage device for the weft fabric. Drawing-in and reeding ensures the correct position and tension of the weft fabric)
↓
Machine adjustment (the loom is adjusted, including adjusting the density and position of the weft yarn, as well as the speed and tension of the loom and other parameters)
↓
Weaving (the shuttle on the loom shuttles back and forth between the warp yarns, interweaving the weft yarns with the warp yarns to form the pattern and structure of the fabric)
↓
Gray cloth inspection (The inspection includes checking the uniformity of the thread, the density of the fabric, whether there are flaws or defects, etc.)
