Since clothing and home furnishings make up a major portion of the family budget, knowledge of textiles is as appropriate for consumers who wish to purchase wisely as it is for those whose career interests lie in textiles. The marketers of textile fibers, fabrics, and finished goods must all be familiar with the manufacturing methods, construction, and finishing techniques which affect the performance of textile products.
The objective of this course is to understand the raw materials - fibers, fiber source and properties. The conversion of fiber into yarn, yarn spinning processes conversion of yarn for fabric developments (like woven, knit and other forms of fabrics). At the end of the course the students shall be able to understand integration of fiber, yarn and various forms of fabrics and will be able to integrate fabric properties, characteristics, performances and behavior according to various end uses for Apparel and Home furnishing products.
