2. Yarn weight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn_weight

   Equations may be used to determine the weight of warp and weft required for a particular fabric: Weight of warp = (0.65 x qty. of fabric (metres) x no. of warp ends) / count; If there are two colors in the warp, use the following equations: Weight of color A (kg) = (0.65 x qty. of fabric (metres) x no. of warp ends of color A) / count of color A

3. Units of textile measurement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_textile_measurement

   Textile fibers, threads, yarns and fabrics are measured in a multiplicity of units.. A fiber, a single filament of natural material, such as cotton, linen or wool, or artificial material such as nylon, polyester, metal or mineral fiber, or human-made cellulosic fibre like viscose, Modal, Lyocell or other rayon fiber is measured in terms of linear mass density, the weight of a given length of ...

4. Thread (yarn) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(yarn)

   Some threads can be used for applications up to 800 °C (1472 °F). There are a variety of different sewing threads available which have different applications and benefits. Kevlar-coated stainless steel sewing threads have a high-temperature and flame-resistant steel core combined with Kevlar coating designed to facilitate easier machine ...

5. Warp and weft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_and_weft

   The vertical warp yarns are held stationary in tension on a loom (frame) while the horizontal weft (also called the woof) is drawn through (inserted over and under) the warp thread. [1] In the terminology of weaving, each warp thread is called a warp end (synonymous terms are fill yarn and filling yarn ); a pick is a single weft thread that ...

6. Yarn - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn

   Yarn is a long continuous length of interlocked fibres, used in sewing, crocheting, knitting, weaving, embroidery, ropemaking, and the production of textiles. [1] Thread is a type of yarn intended for sewing by hand or machine. Modern manufactured sewing threads may be finished with wax or other lubricants to withstand the stresses involved in ...

7. Textile manufacturing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_manufacturing

   Sewing thread is two tram threads, hard twisted, and machine-twist is made of three hard-twisted tram threads. Tram for the crepe process is twisted at up to 80 tpi to make it 'kick up'. Stretching. The thread is tested for consistent size. Any uneven thickness is stretched out. The resulting thread is reeled into containing 500 yd to 2500 yd.

8. Glossary of textile manufacturing - Wikipedia

   Ends per inch like threads per inch is a measure of the coarseness or fineness of fabric, displaying the number of (warp) threads per inch of woven fabric. epinglé fabric A type of velvet fabric woven on a wire loom or épinglé loom. The épinglé velvet is notable in that both a loop pile and a cut pile can be integrated into the same fabric.

9. Warp-weighted loom - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp-weighted_loom

   The warp tension needed on a loom is roughly proportional to yarn diameter, and loom weights must be positioned in an even, level row, with all the threads hanging nearly straight down, for smooth weaving. This means that the shape of a loom weight limits a loom to certain thread counts, and the mass of the loom weight is related to the yarn ...
