2. Pile (textile) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pile_(textile)

   Pile length affects and is affected by knot density: "The greater the knot density, the thinner the weft and warp yarns and the more weakly are they twisted; the smaller the density, the coarser are the foundation yarns." [4] Designs and motifs are also affected by and affect pile depth: "A carpet design with a high knot density is better ...

3. Pile weave - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pile_weave

   This type of fabric is characterized by a pile—a looped or tufted surface that extends above the initial foundation, or 'ground' weave. The pile is formed by supplemental yarn running in the direction of the length of the fabric ( warp pile weave ) or the width of the fabric ( weft or filling pile weave ). [ 1 ]

4. 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 ...

5. Knot density - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_density

   A carpet with a lesser knot density is better adapted to bold, geometric designs and can utilize a long pile for softer, more reflective surface that appeals to the sense of touch." [9] Hand-tying of knots is a very labour-intensive task. An average weaver can tie almost 10,000 knots per day. More difficult patterns with an above-average knot ...

6. Shearing (textiles) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shearing_(textiles)

   Shearing is a kind of mechanical finish in which the appearance of the fabric is enhanced by cutting the loops or raised surface to a uniform and even height. The machine may have a spiral blade similar to a reel lawn mower. [1] [2] A shearing machine can cut the loop or the pile to a desired level. [3]

7. Velveteen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velveteen

   Velveteen (or velveret) is a type of woven fabric with a dense, even, short pile. It has less sheen than velvet because the pile in velveteen is cut from weft threads, while that of velvet is cut from warp threads. [1] Velveteen also has a shorter pile than velvet and is stiffer, with less drape, and is usually made of cotton or a cotton-silk ...

9. Dimensional stability (fabric) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_stability_(fabric)

   Dimensional stability (in fabric) pertains to a fabric's ability to maintain its initial size and shape even after undergoing wear and care, which is a desirable property. [1] Textile manufacturing is based on the conversion of fiber into yarn, yarn into fabric, includes spinning, weaving, or knitting, etc. The fabric passes through many ...
