Glossary of textile manufacturing

The manufacture of textiles is one of the oldest of human technologies. To make textiles, the first requirement is a source of fibre from which a yarn can be made, primarily by spinning. The yarn is processed by knitting or weaving, which turns yarn into cloth. The machine used for weaving is the loom. For decoration, the process of colouring yarn or the finished material is dyeing. For more information of the various steps, see textile manufacturing. ▪ A ▪ B ▪ C ▪ D ▪ E ▪ F ▪ G ▪ H ▪ I ▪ J ▪ K ▪ L ▪ M ▪ N ▪ O ▪ P ▪ Q ▪ R ▪ S ▪ T ▪ U ▪ V ▪ W ▪ X ▪ Y ▪ Z ▪ External links...
