Tops- from fibre to fashion textile

Fibre the raw material consists of fabrics. No matter from animal or plant resources, are spun into yarn, which in turn is constructed into fabric.

Fibre
Mostly fibre can be made from plant, animal, or mineral substances, and can be processed into a long, thin, flexible yarn.


Yarn
Yarns, or threads, are fibres that have been spun together to create a continuous length of interlocked fibres. They are usually knitted or woven together to make fabric, and may be dyed before or after ts process.

Spinning
Twisting fibres together by spinning binds them into a stronger, longer yarn. Originally fibres were twisted by hand, the invention of electricity made the spinning process much more rapid and mass product. For the present time to meet the demand of textile industry and commercial enterprise.


Fabric Construction

Weaving
Weaving is the most traditional technic to make fabrics. Two sets of threads, the vertical and the horizontal
use the interlock way to process the in a weaving loom. Majority of commercially woven produced on commercial-controlled looms in India, China, and South-East Asia because of the labor cost.


Knitting
Kitted fabric is constructed from yarn by means of a series of interlinked loops. This ca be hand using needles, or by knitting machine.The size of stitch, whether hand or machine knitted, dictates the fineness or chunkiness of the fabric, and is depend on the size of the needles and the thickness of the yarn. Wrap knitting
is a cheap, stable and fast technic in the industry.

Crochet
Different than 2 hand knitting needles. Crocheting is using one hook needle to pull loops of yarn through other loops.

Dyeing
The process of adding, discharge, or transferring colour to yarns, fabrics, or a exist garment. For the protein or plant fibre apply different pigment dissolve into water, resin in process of cold, hot, and cold water to fix the colour.


Print
It is a way to use pigment to draw onto the fabric.

Screen print
Use a wood block by hand or machine roll the dye on silk screen. The block are engraved with the design and the colour will apply on to the fabric.

Digital print
A quick engineer way to run the print, apply Photoshop design the patter, use pr-treated fabric and inkjet technology to print reactive dyes.


Stitch
Embroidery is a form of surface decoration made using threads or mix media to transfer the origin surface texture.


Felt
Felt is a non- woven cloth, processed by the merino wool fibre 90 degrees interlock layers using hot water and soap to press. In the process hot water and press, wool fibre is getting shrink and the firbe will go into the interspace between. This is the way to form the structure the of the fabric.
