Year 10 Textiles Technology

Fibres are the _____________ unit of a textiles fabric. Fibres are hairlike strands which are twisted together to make yarns.

• Biggest

• Weakest

• Smallest

• Strongest

Yarns are made up of a number of fibres twisted together. The process of making yarns from fibres is called _____________ and makes the yarns strong, smooth and fine.

• Twisting

• Spinning

• Felting

• Bonding

The correct method of fabric production is:

• Fibre > Yarn > Fabric

• Fabric > Fibre > Yarn

• Yarn > Fibre > Fabric

• Fibre > Fabric > Yarn

The three main types of textile construction are:

• Woven, Knitted and Bonded

• Woven, Felted and Interlaced

• Woven, Knitted and Non-woven

• Bonded, Interwoven and Felted

The two main classifications of fibres are

• Cotton and Polyester

• Natural and Manufactured

• Synthetic and Natural

• Plants and Animals

Process of interlacing yarns at right angles to each other to create a fabric.

• Bonding

• Knitting

• Sewing

• Weaving

The most widely used natural and manufactured fibers are

• polyester and nylon

• silk and polyester

• elastane and cotton

• cotton and polyester

This fibre is made from coal or petroleum. It is strong and often blended with other fibres, resistant to wrinkling, easy to care for, shrink and stretch resistant, and has great washability.

• Viscose

• Polyester

• Cotton

• Rayon

This is a soft, white downy fiber that is strong & durable, cool to wear, and shrinks easily.

• Silk
• Cotton
• Polyester
• Wool

How is a knitted fabric constructed?

• Interlocking loops of yarn

• Web of fibres.

• Interlacing two sets of yarn at 90 degree angles to each other.

• Needle punching fibres together.
