BASICS OF FABRIC MANUFACTURING AND TYPE OF LOOMS

FABRIC MANUFACTURING

Loom is a device or machine used to weave cloth or fabrics. The basic purpose of the loom is to hold the warp yarn and gives tension to the warp yarn.hold the warp yarn under tension to facilitate interweaving of the weft threads. The shape of machines or loom is vary and its functions is remain same.

Weaving is a process in which warp and weft yarn is interlaced with each other. and produced a fabric or cloth sheet. fabric manufacturing is a process of formation of cloth sheet with the help of loom.

Textile fabric is generally two dimensional flexible materials made by interlacing of yarns or inter meshing of loops.

textile fabrics are special materials as they are generally, Light weight, flexible(easy to bend, Shear and twist) moldable, permeable and strong. There are four major technologies of fabric manufacturing is listed below.

1. Weaving
2. Knitting
3. Non-woven
4. Braiding
