Article Example
Grain (textile) Woven fabric is more elastic as well as more fluid in the bias direction, compared to the straight and cross grains. This property facilitates garments and garment details that require extra elasticity, drapability or flexibility, such as bias-cut skirts and dresses, neckties, piping trims and decorations, bound seams, etc.
Fiber art Since the 1980s, fiber work has become more and more conceptual, influenced by postmodernist ideas. For fiber artists, in addition to long-standing experimentation with materials and techniques, this brought "a new focus on creating work which confronted cultural issues such as: gender feminism; domesticity and the repetitive tasks related to women's work; politics; the social and behavioral sciences; material specific concepts related to fiber's softness, permeability, drapability, and so on."
Texturizing Texturizing techniques were initially relevant to artificial fibres to diminish such characteristics as glassiness, slipperiness, and the chance of pilling (configuration of little fibre tangles on a fabric shell). Texturizing methods make yarns more opaque, improve look and touch, and boost warmness and absorbency. Textured yarns are synthetic uninterrupted filaments, modified to impart. Texturing is the formation of folds, loops, coils, or crinkles in filaments. Such alterations in the physical shape of a fibre have an effect on the behavior and "hand" of textiles made from them. Hand, or handle, is an all-purpose term for the characteristics perceived by the sense of touch when a fabric is held in the fingers, such as drapability, smoothness, flexibility.
