What is the main purpose of using microfibres in textiles?
To reduce the strength of the fabric
To add bulk to the material
To create lightweight, high-performance fabrics
To eliminate the need for blending fibres
What is the key characteristic of a woven fabric?
Made from bonded fibres
Created by interlacing yarns at right angles
Constructed from looping yarns
Contains only synthetic fibres
What is the main advantage of using cotton in textiles?
High elasticity
Breathability
Shiny appearance
Water resistance
Synthetic fibres are derived from...
Plants
Oil
Animals
Insects
What are fibres?
Threads created by weaving or knitting materials together
The smallest, hair-like structure that forms the basic building block of textiles
The interlocked strands created during the spinning process
The finished textile material used for upholstery and clothing
How are yarns created?
By weaving fibres into an under/over configuration
By spinning or twisting fibres together to form a continuous length
By bonding fibres together using heat or adhesives
By layering fibres into a felt-like material
Which of the following is a characteristic of woven fabrics?
Made by felting fibres with heat and pressure
Created using warp and weft yarns in an under/over configuration
Constructed by looping yarns together
Manufactured by bonding fibres into a single layer
What is the primary difference between a plain weave and a twill weave?
Plain weave is lightweight, whereas twill weave is heavy
Plain weave is the most basic weave with an even surface, while twill weave creates a diagonal pattern used in denim
Twill weave is stronger than plain weave but has an uneven surface on both sides
Plain weave is created by bonding fibres, whereas twill weave is knitted
Which of the following is NOT a method used to turn yarns or fibres into fabrics?
Weaving
Knitting
Spinning
Felting
