A textile is a flexible material consisting of a network of fibres often referred to as thread or yarn. Yarn is produced by
spinning raw wool fibres, linen, cotton, or other material on a spinning
wheel to produce long strands known as yarn Textiles are formed by weaving,
knitting, crocheting, knotting, or pressing fibres together
Types of textile producing technics include
Weaving
is a textile production method which involves
interlacing a set of vertical threads with a set of
horizontal threads This is done on a machine known as a
loom, of which there are a number of types. Some weaving is still done by
hand, but the vast majority is mechanised.
Knitting and crocheting
is the interlacing loops of yarn formed
either on a knitting needle or on a crochet hook, together in a line. knitting has several active loops at one
time, on the knitting needle waiting to interlock with another loop, while
crocheting never has more than one active loop on the needle.
Braiding or plaiting
is the twisting threads together into cloth. Knotting
involves tying threads together and is used in making macrame.
Lace
imade -- by either hand or machine.-- by interlocking threads together independently
to create a fine fabric with open holes in the work.
Carpets, rugs, velvet, velour, and velveteen,
are made by interlacing a
secondary yarn through woven cloth, creating a tufted layer known as a nap
or pile.
Felting
involves pressing a mat of fibers together, and working them together until
they become tangled.
