- combining fabrics and fibres
- interfacing
- can be stitches or laminated to other fabrics to reinforce, stiffen and give strength as well as preventing the fabric from stretching or sagging
- e.g. Vilene
- found in collars and cuffs
- quilted fabrics
- two or more laters sewn together
- to give an attractive appearance
- added warmth
- Gore-tex
- laminated to another fabric using adhesive or heat
- used for all weather clothing and shoes
- waterproof and breathable
- kevalr
- high strength
- lightweith
- flexible
- fibre
- used in bicycle tires
- and
- police bullet proof vests
- high strength-to-weight ration
- and
- thinsulate
- highly insulating but thin fabric
- microfivres are fine and capture more air in less space
- traps air between wearer and outside
- machine washed and dry cleaned
- breathable and water resistant
- worn under a dry suit by scuba divers when diving in cold water
- WAYS OF MIXING FIBRES
- BLENDING
- fibres mixed together at the spinning or spinneret stage
- different fibres distributed throughout the fabric
- polyester and cotton
- MIXING
- two different yarns are used during weaving process
- nylon and wool and acrylic and wool
- BLENDING
- benefits of mixingres
- improves fabric performance
- reduced cost
- different textures can be achieved
- interesting colour effects due to different absorbencies
- interfacing
