  1. What is Clothing?

Clothing is a vast ward which is come from cloth; simply we know cloth means fabric but if we looking toward to know abut clothing then “clothing is a technique of garments manufacturing with fabric by using different design”. We need warp and weft yearns to weave a fabric as like as to make a garment we need fabric with many accessories. In one sentence “every technique of related with garments manufacturing process are called clothing”.

  1. What is spinning?

Spinning is process in textile where manufacturing yarn by using one or various textile fiber. Yarn is made by twisting and it’s should be minimum length as it can use in textile to make it garment. So we defined the spinning as a minimum length and strength full yarn making process.

  1. What is trash?

In a single sentence trash is no lint material in the cotton fiber. Various foreign materials also present in cotton also called trash like leaf, dust; break seed, micro fiber, and neaps etc. trash create different kind of problem during spinning process.

  1. Specification of any cotton fiber

Fiber length                             : 1.5

Amount of trash                       : 2.5%

Micromeres value                    : 3%

Strength                                   : 90,000 P.S.I.

  1. The quality of cotton fiber depends on.
  • Length of fiber
  • Strength of fiber
  • Color of fiber
  • Matured of fiber
  • Amount of trash
  • Flexibility of fiber
  • Sophistication of fiber
  1. What is ginning?

After cultivating cotton from field, its need to separate the fiber and seed. Seed and cotton fiber separating system is called ginning process.

  1. What is Lint?

Lint is long and suitable fiber for spinning which is separate with seed by ginning process. Lint is used to make yarn.

  1. What is linter?

After complete ginning process; some micro yarn are sticky with seed which is not directly used to make yarn is called linter.

  1. What is the amount of strength of a fiber is generate into yarn?

Generally 80% strength of fiber is generating into the yarn.

 

  1. Acceptable amount of cotton moisture?

Acceptable amount of moisture of cotton fiber is start from 6.5 to 8.5.

Fabric preparation

Before sewing an important step is fabric preparation which is start by grading, numbering, labeling, pattern matching, marking pocket, bundling, spreading and end by sending those fabric to the sewing section. Fabric is spread layer by layer on spreading table to make a suitable lay to cut too many pieces of fabric at a time. After make the lay a marker paper is set on fabric lay and make design which is need to do. According to design are draw on marker paper the fabric must be cut by fabric cutting knife or machine.

Factor of fabric preparation

  1. What kind of fabric package? Folded of rolled?
  2. Is there any shade variation on the selected fabrics?
  3. Specification of fabric thickness as required or not?
  4. Specification of fabric width as required or not?
  5. Fabric construction is match with design or not?
  6. The selvedge is same as the design or not?
  7. What is the recommended design and is the fabric design can makes those desire designs?
  8. Is the fiber is same on the fabric which is ordered by buyer or not?

Discuss the steps of fabric preparation before cutting.

Before sewing the fabric a few works to do like numbering, labeling, marking, bundling, are listed in fabric preparation. Let have a little discuss about those steps.

Numbering

Too many pieces of fabric need to makes a fabric which is important to count properly and numbering each bundle or role of fabric. Which mean it’s let us know the exact & required amount of fabric. The selection of fabric by order of administration is help to send them to the sewing section by numbering technique.

Labeling

After numbering every package or role of fabric, the next step is labeling because its help to identify the specification and quality of fabric.

Marking

Third step of fabric preparation is marking. Different tape is required to marking on fabric which is identified the different types of fabric. Marking helps to protect of mixing various color and type of fabric.

 

Bundling

After follow the each part of fabric preparation bundling is final step of them. The fabric must be send to the cutting table after bundling. Follow the user advantage the bundle can fold or role shape.

Methods of fabric preparations

  1. Grading
  2. Pattern matching
  3. Spreading

            Manual spreading

            Spreading carriage

            Automatic spreading machine

Retting of flax fiber

Fiber
Retting of flax fiber

The flax fibers are held together in the stems by woody matters and cellular tissue and Retting is a fermentation process that frees the fibers from these materials. Retting may be carried out in one of several ways.

Retting of flax fiber

Retting of flax fiber

1. Dam Retting :
The flax plants after pulling are tied up in sheaves or beats and immersed for about ten days in water in special am or ponds dug in the ground. This method is commonly used in Ireland.

2. Dew Retting :
The crop is spread in the ground after pulling and left for several weeks wetting by dew and rain encourages fermenting by moulds to take place. Dew Retting tends to yield dark colored fibers. It may be used in regions where water is in short supply. It is commonly practiced in Russia and France.

3. Tank Retting :
After harvesting, the seed bolls are stripped from the steam by reciprocating metal cobs. The de-seeded flax tied in bundle in packed in to concrete tank which are filled with water artificially heated to about 30°C Retting is completed in about three days some of the best and uniform fiber is produced by this process.

4. Chemical Retting :
Retting can also be carried out by treating the flax straw with chemical solution such reagents are caustic soda (NaOH), Sodium carbonate (Na2Co3), Soaps and dilute mineral acids. Its more costly process than biologic Retting and the fiber produced is not better.

Flax fiber Breaking and Scutching:
After Retting the next stage is breaking. The straw (flax) is passed between flutted roller in a breaking machine, so that the woody core broken in to fragments without damaging the fiber running through the stem the broken straw is then subjected to the proc known as “Scutching” which separates the un want woody material from the fiber. This is done beating the straw with blunt wooden or metal blades, either by hand or by machine. The woody matter is removed as shiver which is usually burnt as fuel, leaving the flax in the form of long strands formed of bundles of individual fibers adhering to one another.

Hackling:

After Scutching the fibers are usual combed or hackled by drawing them through sets of pin, each successive set being finer than the previous one. After hackling we get finer as well as coarse fibers, the long fibers are known as line (More than 10 Inch) and the shorter fiber are called tow (Less than 10 inch) Read more about Properties of Flax fiber

Properties of Flax fibers

Properties of Flax fibers: flax is a natural fiber and this fiber is used to make most of the expensive cloth which is most comfort to wear. Flax also so much popular for the comfortableness and softness. lets have a discussion about properties of flax fiber. please follow the link to read more about flax fiber. Read more

Properties of Flax fibers

Properties of Flax fibers

Physical properties:
1. Length: The average length of fiber various from 90-125 cm. length of individual fiber cells are 6-65 mm (¼ inch – 2 ½ inch) and mean diameter of about 0.02mm (1/1200 inch).
2. Color: Brownish, light, ivory, grey.
3. Tensile/Strength: it is stronger than cotton fiber. Tenacity varies from 6.5 to 8 gm/denier
4. Elongation: The elongation at break is approximately 1.8% (dry) & 2.2 (Wet).
5. Bending properties: it has a high degree of rigidity and resists bending.
6. Specific gravity: 1.54
7. Effect of moisture: M.R%=12% (std)
8. Effect of heat: Highly resistant to decomposition up to about 120° C the fibers begin to discolor. Sp. Heat is 0.322. It is good conductor of heat. So linen sheet are so cold in summer season.
9. Resiliency: Low
10. Abrasion resistance: Moderate
11. Dimensional stability: Good but easily tend to crease.

Chemical properties:
1. Bleaching action: Flax (Linen) is made difficult to bleach than cotton for its huge amount of impurities, like pectin and gum.
2. Effect Acids: Flax will withstand in weak acids but is attacked by hot dilute acids or cold concentrated acids.
3. Effect of alkali: Flax has good resistance o alkaline solution for large amount of gum and waxes.
4. Effect of organic solvents: Resistant of common solvents (Acetone, ether, methyl, alcohol, Chloroform Etc.)
5. Effect of insects: Flax is not attacked by moth, grut or other insects.
6. Effect of micro-orgasms: flax has height resistance to rotting under severe. Conditions of warmth, damp and contamination how ever mildews may attack the cellulose of flax but resistance is generally high particularly if the yarn on fabric is dry.
7. Dye ability: not good affinity to dyes. Direct and vat dyes are suitable for flax fiber.

Use of flax fiber

Flax products have been used as sail and tent canvas, fishing lines, fishing nets, book binder’s thread, and leather working threads, sewing thread, suture thread, carpet warp and union cloth cotton & flax blended at weaving stag. Flax are also used to produce clothing, household, industrial and furnishing fabric only the best portion of seed flax can be use for wool-pile rugs backing, twine and rope. The linen fiber are extensively used in fine table damasks, handkerchiefs and sheer linen fabrics, linen and Dacron blends make excellent wash and wear fabric for dresses and sports wear.
Another secretes are waste flax fibers are make in to high grade bank notes, writing papers cigarette papers. The linen makes from flax fiber is an excellent conductor of heat. Linen sheet are cold and linen garments are comfortable in hot weather.
