Fabric Definitions Acrylic - A manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is any long chain synthetic polymer. (Meaning to the consumer: weather- resistant) Batiste - Originally named for John Baptiste, a French weaver. It is a sheer silk like fabric, either plain or figured, similar to silk mull. Can be woven from cotton where it is a sheer, fine combed, mercerized muslin characterized by wide streaks in construction, and can also be made of wool or worsted yarns in a smooth fine fabric that is lighter than challis. Also can be made of spun rayon or other fibers. Brocades - Rich Jacquard-woven fabric with all-over interwoven designs of raised figures or flowers. Name derived from French meaning to “ornament.” Often gives an embossed appearance by contrasting surfaces, colors, and gold or silver threads on satin or twill grounds. Made in many weights for apparel and decorative fabric uses. Boucle - Knitted or woven fabric with characteristic looped or knotted surface that often resembles a spongy effect. Term also applies to a variety of looped, curled, or slubbed yarns. In French “boucle” means “buckled” or “ringed”. Broadcloth - Tightly wove lustrous cotton cloth with fine imbedded cross-wide ribs that resemble poplin. Ribs are finer than those in poplin and broadcloth has more picks. Newest versions today combine yarns blended with polyester and other man-made fibers. Burlap - Coarse, canvas-like fabric usually made of jute, but can be made of hemp, or cotton. Sometimes called gunny. Used primarily for bale coverings and sacks and bags. Also used in furniture, drapery, wall coverings, and clothing. Burn-out - A process of printing which uses chemicals, rather than color, to burn out or dissolve away one fiber in a sized clothed. Purpose is to achieve a sheer lacy and heavy design. Also used to obtain eyelets or other type holes in a fabric. Cellulose - A white naturally occurring carbohydrate polymer found in organic woody substances of most vegetation. It is basic raw material needed for production of rayon and acetate fibers. About 96 percent of cotton is cellulose. Cheesecloth - Plain woven soft, fragile, low-count cotton fabric similar to tobacco cloth and also known as gauze. When bleached and starched it is called scrim. Chenille - A fuzzy yarn whose pile resembles a caterpillar. Used mainly for decorative fabrics, embroidery, tassels, and rugs. Sometimes used broadly to define a fabric woven from chenille yarns. Chintz - Glazed cotton fabric often printed with figurative and large flower designs. Named from Hindu word meaning spotted. Some glazes wash out in laundering but others such as resin finishes are permanent. Unglazed chintz is called cretonne. Used mainly for draperies, and slipcovers. Corduroy - A cut filling pile-cloth with narrow to wide wales which run in the warp direction and made possible by use of an extra set of filling yarns in the construction. The back is of plain or twill weave. Cotton - Soft vegetable fiber obtained from the seed pod of the cotton plant and one of the major fashion fibers in the textile industry. The origin dates back to 3,000 B.C. The longer the fiber the better the quality. Crepe - A variety of lightweight fabrics characterized by a crinkly surface obtained either via use of hard twist yarns, chemical treatments, weave, construction or some form of embossing or surface treatment. Crepes are available in an unlimited variety of fibers and blends and in many different constructions. Damask - Firm, glossy Jacquard-patterned fabric brought to the Western world by Marco Polo in the 13th century. Damascus was the center of fabric trade between East and West, hence the name. Damask is similar to brocade but flatter and reversible. Used mainly for curtains, draperies and upholstery. Denim - This basic cotton cloth- first brought to America by Columbus almost 500 years ago Duck - The name duck covers a wide range of fabrics. It is one of the most durable fabrics made. A closely woven, heavy material. The most important fabrics in this group are known as number duck, army duck, and flat or ounce duck. Number and army ducks are always of plain weave with medium or heavy ply yarns army ducks are the lighter. Once ducks always have single warp yarns woven in pairs and single or ply-filing yarns. Generally of ply yarns in warp and yarns of various sizes and weights in filling. Faille - A lightweight ribbed silk or rayon cloth with crosswise rib effect. It is soft in feel and belongs to the grosgrain family of cross-rib materials. Has good draping effects, and will be good to you if you treat it the same. Frise - Sometimes known as Cotton Frieze, the material is used in the upholstery trade. It is usually made with uncut loops and is sometimes styled by shearing the loops at varying heights. Gauze - Thin, sheer-woven cotton, wool, silk, or synthetic fabrics, similar to cheese cloth, used primarily for surgical dressings. Hand-spun - Yarns which are spun by hand, or fabrics made from such yarns. Heat Transfer - The technique of printing fabrics by transferring printed design from paper to fabric via heat and pressure. It’s derived from the art of decalcomania which is the process of transferring pictures or designs from specially prepared paper to other materials such as glass. Interlining -A lightweight, napped, cotton, wool, or other fabric used in tailoring for extra weight or warmth. Iridescent Fabrics - Changeable effects noted in some cloths because of the color arrangement in the warp and filling yarns used to provide contrast and interest. Ex: Taffeta and comparable cloths which show these varying tints and hues as rays of light strike the goods. Jacquard – Intricate method of weaving invented by Joseph J.M. Jacquard in the years 1801-1804, in which a headmotion at the top of the loom holds and operates a set of punched cards, according to the motif desired. The perforations in the cards, in connection with the rods and cords, regulate the raising of the stationary warp thread mechanisms. Jacquard knitting is a development of the Jacquard loom and its principles. Jacquard fabrics, simple or elaborate in design, include brocade, brocatelle, damask, neckwear, evening wear, formal attire, some shirtings, tapestries, etc. Lamé - Brocade, brocatelle or damask in which metallic (laminated) threads or yarns are interspersed throughout the fabric or one in which these threads have been used in the base construction. Latex - A paint-like liquid with a viscid, milky, complex emulsion of proteins, alkaloids, starches, resins, and other substances secreted by the cells of certain plaints such as the milkweed, rubber tree, and poppy. The liquids extrude from the rubber tree, when the bark is cut, may be coagulated with lactic acid and compressed into sheets, or solidified into rubber. Linen - Derived from a plant called flax. The term, linen, cannot be used except for natural fiber flax. Its properties include rapid moister absorption, fiber length of few inches to one yard, no fuzziness, does not soil quickly, and stiffness. Linen Damask - single damask is made on a five-shaft satin weave double damask is made on an eight-end satin construction. All damask is made on Jacquard looms. This very reversible fabric is very durable the higher the texture the better the quality. Damask will launder well, retain luster and may be all linen, or all cotton, or a union material like linen filling. Madras - One of the oldest staples in the cotton trade, it is made on plain-weave background which is usually white stripes, cords, or minute checks may be used to form the pattern. Fancy effects are often of satin or basket weave, or small twill repeat. White filling is used. Matelassé - A rather soft, double cloth or compound fabric which has a quilted surface effect. Made on Jacquard looms, the heavier constructions are used for coverlets, draperies, and upholstery. Lighter weight fabric finds use in dress goods, evening wear, and trimming. Gives effects such as blistered, puckered, quilted or wadded depending on the cloth constructions used. Mesh - Any fabric, knitted or woven, with an open texture, fine or coarse. Mohair - The long, lustrous and strong hair of the Angora goat. Angora goats are believed to have originated in the Himalaya Mountains of Asia.

Moiré, watermarked - A finish given to cotton, silk, acetate, rayon, nylon, etc. where bright-and-dim effects are observed. This popular finish is achieved by passing the fabric between engraved rollers which press the particular motif into the goods causing the crushed and the uncrushed parts to reflect light differently. Muslin - Used generally, but mostly associated with white goods finish print cloth or sheeting that has been given a pure starched or backfilled finish to provide a dull, “clothy” effect and hand. Muslin gray goods are finished in fabrics such as batiste, cambric, chintz, cretonne, lawn, longcloth, mercerized goods, plain muslin, nainsook, organdy, percaline etc… Nainsook - A fine, soft cotton fabric, with a plain weave.

Ottoman - Silk or man-made-fiber yarn fabric characterized by a heavy, large, rounded cord effect in the filling direction of the goods. Pick - A filling thread or yarn that runs crosswise or horizontally in woven goods. The pick interlaces with the warp to form a woven cloth. See weft. Pile Fabric - One in which certain yarns project from a foundation texture and form a pile on the surface. Pile yarns may be cut or uncut in the fabric. Corduroy and velveteen are ex.’s of cut filling pile fabrics velvet is an ex’s of a cut warp pile fabric while terry cloth is an ex. of an uncut pile material. Pique - Medium weight or heavy fabric with raised cords that run in the warp direction. This substantial cloth is made on dobby, Jacquard, drop-like box and other types of looms. Plaid - A pattern consisting of colored bars or stripes which cross each other at right angles, comparable to a Scottish tartan Polyester - A manufactured fiber in which the fiber forming substance is any long chain synthetic polymer composed of at least 85% by weight of an ester of a substituted aromatic carboxylic.

Plain weave is used with the rib effect made by the use of a warp yam much finer than the filling yarn with a texture or count of two or three times as many ends as picks in goods. Primary colors - Red, blue and yellow, and from these colors other colors are made. These are the only colors you can not mix any other color with another to achieve. It must be created in its pure form via chemical or found in nature. Pucker - The uneven surface caused by differential shrinkage in the two layers of a bonded fabric during processing, dry cleaning, or washing. Rayon - A manufactured fiber composed of regenerated cellulose in which substitutes have replaced not more than 15% of the hydrogen. Often a stiffer and more difficult to keep wrinkle-free fabric. Rib - Usually a straight raised cord, formed in a weave by threads which are heavier than the others, lengthwise, crosswise, or diagonal. Many knitted fabrics are ribbed lengthwise.

Silk - The only natural fiber that comes in a filament form, from 300-1600 yards in length as reeled from the cocoon, cultivated or wild. (ABOUT SILK: The threads are “harvested” from the silkworm when it begins its spinning. Two filaments are emitted from the “silk ducts” which are covered by silk gum or sericin from the sacks before they come from the mouth of the silkworm. The liquid is emitted by the silkworm, and solidifies on contact with the air. A single filament is called “brins”. The two filaments are by this time are solidified together by the silk gum or sericin, and is now called “fibron” or silk. Single Damask - Silk fabric which has the ground and the motif weave or weaves made on a five-shaft satin weave. The double damask is made on the eight-harness satin weave, and would not have the short floats noted in the single damask construction which gives better service. Also made in linen, rayon, and mixture fabrics. Slub Yarn - Yarn of any type which is irregular in diameter may be caused by error, or purposely made with slubs to bring out a desired effect and to enhance a material.

Strie - Said of cloth which has irregular stripes or streaks of practically the same color in the background. Each yarn in the motif is dyed a solid color, runs in the warp direction of the goods, and produces a mottled effect. Suede Fabric - Woven or knitted cloth made from the major textile fibers and finished to resemble suede leather. Taffeta - A fine plain weave fabric smooth on both sides, usually with a sheen on its surface. Named for Persian fabric taftan. May be solid colored or printed, or woven in such a way that the colors seem “changeable”. Tapestry - Originally ornamented Oriental embroideries in which colored threads of wool, gold, silk, or silver were interspersed for adornment.

When the pile is more than 1/8 of an inch it is considered “plush”. Velveteen - A filling pile cloth in which the pile is made by cutting an extra set of filling yarns which weave in a float formation and are woven or bound into the back of the material at intervals by weaving over and under one or more warp ends. This low pile fabric is known as a “cotton-velvet”. Viscose Rayon - Manufactured fiber made of regenerated cellulose. Most common raw material is wood pulp. Voile - Combed yam, high-twist lightweight cotton staple fabric, also made from other fibers. This threadlike appearing cloth is made from glassed yarns which range from 2/100s to 2/200s in yam count. There are five types of voile- pique, seed, shadow, stripe, and splash.
