Fibres/Fabrics Test Review
All handouts used in class for test review have been posted in class Moodle
1. Review material from stations that we did in class
Wool quiz
What do the wool symbols mean? Describe each symbol.
Wool 101: advantages and disadvantages of wool
Fill in the blanks sheet on linen; word search in linen
Spandex in popular cultures
Spandex characteristics and major spandex uses
History of silk handout (origin, silkworm and the family, the silk trade, silk today, etc.)
Information about cotton
How jeans are made video. Review worksheet.
2. Review interactive ppt that we discussed in class:
To understand what fibres are, and recognize the differences between natural and manufactured fibres.
To realize how fibres become fabric through weaving, knitting and non-woven methods.
Fabrics are made up from fibres.
Staple fibres vs filament fibres
Natural fibres are either animal or plant-based.
Silk, wool and hair are all animal fibres
Plant fibres include cotton and linen.
Synthetic fibres and regenerated fibres are manufactured.
Regenerated fibres are made from natural materials, such as cellulose from wood, that are chemically processed. Viscose and rayon are regenerated fibres.
Synthetic fibres are all man-made from organic polymers
Modern fibers: microfibers and smart fibres
Turning fibres into yearn: carding
Turning fibres into yarns: spinning
Fabric types (matching): woven, knitted, felted, bonded, laminated. match the name with the description
Woven fabric: warp yarn vs weft yarn
Alternative weaves (e.g., jacquard)
Knitted fabric: weft knitting vs warp knitting
Different fabric properties and examples
Good luck!
