- origin of synthetic fibres
- polyester
- produced by the polymerisation(joining small molecules up to make long ones)of chemical's derived from oil
- the polymer produced is melted and then extruded into a stream of cold air in a process known as melt spinning
- is produced in the same way as polyester and also uses melt spinning

- micro-fibres
- synthetic fibres, are less than one denier thickness
- tactel is often used for sportswear, as it is 25% lighter than cotton
- synthetic fibres, are less than one denier thickness
- polyester
- fabrics
- have all sorts of uses such as clothing, automotive, puposes, engineering, interiors and architectures
- knitted fabrics
- are made up of a series of interlocking loops.
- the loops make the fabric stretchy
- knitted fabrics have further stretch or elasticity by adding lycra
- the loops make the fabric stretchy
- weft knitting
- knitted in horizontal rows with horizontal ribs on the wrong side fabric and V shape loops on the right side of the fabric
- the loops hold place by interlocking above and below each row
- fabrics produced byusing this method are;
- t-shirts
- sports shirts
- kinitted sweaters
- fabrics produced byusing this method are;
- the loops hold place by interlocking above and below each row
- knitted in horizontal rows with horizontal ribs on the wrong side fabric and V shape loops on the right side of the fabric
- warp knitting
- fabrics are created using a series of interlocking loops and chains, which run vertically along the fabric
- this process can only be done by machine
- creates a firmer fabric which keeps its shape and doesn't ladder when cut
- fabrics produced by this methodcan be either fine and lightweight(nets and lace)
- or heavier such as towelling or velour

- characteristics of knitted fabrics
- knitted fabrics are warm
- knitted fabrics can be bulked using a finishing process called brushing which gives the finished fabric a fluffy surface.can be applied to products such as fleeces
