We eat food to survive and.protect ourselves from diseases we need a Self-Inutructional Material 1 Fabric Production house to live in. Why do we wear clothes? We wear clothes for protection and Processing against climate, for modesty and beauty, and also to show our status. The material that we use for clothing is called fabric. Suppose, we go to a shop to buy fabric for our dress, we will see a variety of fabrics there. NOTES Have you ever wondered as to what these fabrics are made ot? Why are some clothes warm, some rough and others soft? Why do some fabrics go bad after washing while others remain the same? How do you get variety in fabrics? This unit fii’st gives you brief information on the methods of fabric formation. The unit also gives information about the meaning and different tybes of fibers. It also tells you about how to use the burning test to identify various fibers. The unit also highlights the characteristics of fibers. The unit also defines yarn and its different types; 1.3 FABRIC PRODUCTION 1.3.1 Meaning of Fabric The term ‘fabric’ doesn't need any explanation because you all know what it means. Fiber (American English) or Fibre (International English) are hair-like materials (they look like threads) that form the building blocks from which yarn and fabric are made. So we can describe fabric as: Fabric is a material that can be used to maJce clothing or household articles. Sometimes we see the seat of a chair or a couch weaved with nylon or cotton thread. These are made with tape - when two sets of tapes are interlaced with each other at right angles. Similarly a fabric is also made by interlacing two sets of yams at right angles. This whole process of interlacing two sets of yams at right angles to make a fabric is called weaving. Weaving is the process in which the weaver interlaces two sets of yarns at right angles.to each other to form a fabric. Weaving is done on looms. Hand operated looms are called handlooms and power operated ones are called power looms. Weaving is also done by fitting one set of yarns on the loom which forms the length of the fabric. These are called the warps. The other set of yarns interlaced at right angles with the warps, are called wefts. The yarns can be interlaced in many different ways. These different ways of interlacing of yarns is called weaving. There are many types of weaves used to make different kinds of fabrics like cambric, popline, matt, satin, velvet, towels, denims, etc. Blending is the process of making thread from more than one kind of fibres. You all must have heard of fabrics with names like terecot and cotswool. These are the names of mixed fabrics. Cotsu^ooZ is a mixture of cotton and wool, and terewool of wool and terene.'At the yarn stage itself, two types of fibres are mixed, pulled out and twisted together to form the yarn.. 2 Si3?/-In.s{ritc(!OT!aI Maleriol So the question comes how the fabric is prepared? Take a cloth Production of and pull out a thread. Untwist to loosen this thread. You will see that Textile/Fabric it is made up of smaller threads or hair like strands. Pull out one of these. This single hair like strand is called a fibre. NOTES A fibre actually is a hair like strand from which all types of fabrics are made. Then question arises how many_ types of fibres are there? 1.3.2 Classification of Fibres It is usually seen that the fibres of a thread may be made of wool or cotton. You may pull fibres from a ball of cotton. On pulling you see that these fibres are very short. These are called staple fibres. If you pull fibres from a nylon, fabric, you will find that these are long fibres. Such fibres are called filament fibres or simply filaments. Hence, you can classify fibres into two groups. • Short fibres -also called • Staple fibre • Long fibres -also called - Filament fibre The classification of fibres can also be done on the basis of their origin! For example, 1. Natural Fibres:'The fibres which are obtained from natural sources are called natural fibres, for example, fibres from plants and animals. Some more examples of fibres from natural sources are cotton, Jute, silk, wool, etc, The natural fibres are further divided into two categories: • 'Vegetable Fibres: As is understood from the name vegetable fibres are obtained from different plants. Some are well known and useful to man. For example, cotton, jute and coir. Cotton is obtained from seed of the plant, jute is obtained from the stem of a plant and coir is the outer covering of coconut. • Animal Fibres: The animal fibres are obtained from different animal sources. For example, we get wool from sheep and goat. 'We get wool from their hair. Wool can also be obtained from the hair of rabbits and camels. Another animal fibre you all are familiar with is silk. It is the secretion of an insect called the silk worm. 2. Man-made Fibres: Unlike the natural fibres these type of fibres ate obtained from chemical substance. These are called manmade fibres. They are rayon, polyester, nylon, acrylic (cashmilon) etc. So this may be called the second way to classify fibres? For example; • Natural fibres -are obtained from- Plants and animals • Man-made fibres -are obtained from - Chemical substances The classification of fibres can be better understood from the chart given below; Self-Instructional Materia! 3 <• li. :i: « 3 ! • *•;Z-. h r>. > •. y !

Once fibres are identified it will help the buyer to choose as per requirement, and not be cheated by salesmen. The method used in the burning test is:- • First, take out a yarn from the fabric, • Second, burn one end of the yarn either with a match stick or burning candle. Third, check the following: 1. How the fibre catches fire? 2. Notice the type of flame and its colour. 3. Notice the smell after burning the fibre. 4. Check the ash left behind after burning the fibre. All the above points will help you to identify the quality of fibres used in the manufacturing of a piece of fabric, Table 1.2: Identification of Fibres Fibre Inflame Type of Flame Smell ASH Cotton and Catches fire Continues to Smell of Light feathery Rayon eqasily ’ burn with a burning ash bright yellow flame paper Silk and Does not Burnes with a Smell of Black Wool catch fire yellow flame, burning hair crushable • easily Does not bead continue to burn Nylon, Does not Shrinks away ' No definite Hard, Polyter catch fire from flame.

  • Art in America the EPIC BANAL
    Art in America THE EPIC BANAL BY: Amy Sherald, Tyler Mitchell May 7, 2021 10:08am Tyler Mitchell: Untitled (Blue Laundry Line), 2019. Amy Sherald (https://www.artnews.com/t/amy-sherald/): A Midsummer Afternoon Dream, 2020, oil on canvas, 106 by 101 inches. Tyler Mitchell and Amy Sherald—two Atlanta-born, New York–based artists—both capture everyday joy in their images of Black Americans. Recurring motifs in Mitchell’s photographs, installations, and videos include outdoor space and fashionable friends. Sherald, a painter, shares similar motifs: her colorful paintings with pastel palettes show Black people enjoying American moments, their skin painted in grayscale, the backgrounds and outfits flat. Both are best known for high-profile portrait commissions: in 2018 Mitchell became the first Black photographer to have a work grace the cover of Vogue. That shot of Beyoncé was followed, more recently, by a portrait of Kamala Harris for the same publication. Michelle Obama commissioned Amy Sherald to paint her portrait, and last year Vanity Fair asked Sherald to paint Breonna Taylor for a cover too. Below, the artists discuss the influence of the South on their work, and how they navigate art versus commercial projects. —Eds. Amy Sherald: Precious jewels by the sea, 2019, oil on canvas, 120 by 108 inches. TYLER MITCHELL: Amy, we spoke before about finding freedom and making your own moments of joy. I think of Precious jewels by the sea [2019]—your painting of two couples at the beach, showing the men standing with the women on their shoulders—as a moment that you constructed.

  • Tooth-Tool Use and Yarn Production in Norse Greenland
    TOOTH -TOOL USE AND YARN PRODUCTION IN NORSE GREENLAND G. Richard Scott University of Nevada Reno, Department of Anthropology/MS 096, Reno, NV 89557; [email protected] Ruth Burgett Jolie Department of Anthropology, University of New Mexico ABSTRACT During a dental study of medieval Norse skeletons from Greenland, Iceland, and Norway, a distinct pattern of wear was observed on twenty-two anterior teeth of twelve Greenlanders. Further examina- tion revealed that cultural notches were limited almost exclusively to settlement-period Greenlandic females interred at Thjodhild’s church ad( 1000–1150). The most likely explanation for this patterned wear revolves around the manner in which females manipulated woolen thread on their maxillary in- cisors and canines during the production of a coarse woolen cloth (frieze) that was generated in large amounts during the early medieval period for local consumption and export to Europe. keywords: teeth, abrasion, wool INTRODUCTION Anthropologists have long studied normal crown wear to As the most directly visible aspect of the skeletal sys- evaluate the diet and dietary behavior of earlier human tem, teeth are also subject to the vagaries of human cultur- populations (Hinton 1981, 1982; Kieser et al. 2001; Molnar al behavior (cf.

Inside you will read about one of the most important reasons for our positive outlook – the 50th anniversary of the Sunbrella® brand, which will occur during 2011 and which we will begin to celebrate later this year. It was in 1961 that Glen Raven’s Roger Gant, Jr. and his team launched Sunbrella brand fabrics, which forever changed awning, marine and furniture markets. As we plan for the 50th anniversary of the Sunbrella brand, it is with a sense of sadness and loss over the death of Roger Gant, Jr. on July 26. Roger was the visionary who saw the potential for awning fabrics made with synthetic fibers and who pioneered our brand through its launch and early years of market acceptance. 2-3 We owe Roger a great debt of gratitude and are pleased to include a profile article in this issue. Countless companies have benefitted from the Sunbrella brand over the past 50 years, one of the newest of which is Coast New Zealand, which specializes in casual furniture and luggage. The 4-5 owners of Coast selected the Sunbrella brand from the very beginning because of its reputation for durability and easy care, an ideal complement to Coast products targeted to outdoor lifestyles.

    Guidelines for 4-H Clothing Construction Projects The 4-H clothing construction program enables youth to develop the competencies, knowledge and skills necessary to create clothing they enjoy wearing. 4-H members can progress through skill levels at their own rate. In the Clothing and Textiles project, youth gain consumer skills in making, purchasing and caring for clothing and accessories. 4-H members can choose to sew for personal pleasure, to exhibit garments or accessories at fairs, to participate in Fashion Revue or judging events, to take part in field trips and tours, and to sew items for community service projects. The project can be taken independently, as part of a 4-H club, or as a family unit. Older, more experienced 4-H members in this project can serve as junior/teen leaders, helping plan programs and teaching others.
