Sewing: what are all known clothing fabrics and materials…?
….Examples: Suede, leather, chiffon, tulle,satin, wool, silk, flannel, cotton, hemp, cordoruy, fleece, denim, egyptian, lace, and so on…can you list ALL fabrics? (I’m drawing a blank)
All materials that exsist and that you can make clothing from (no pleather or vinyl!)
List all fabrics? All materials that exist? Duuuuude…that’s wayyyyy to much for a mere yahoo answers post, you’ll need to research this one yourself. You can spend years learning fibers and fabrics…and it takes that long to master fibers and fabrics. There are tow basic type of fibers, fibers from natural sources: cotton silk, wool (including all animal hair sourced fibers such as cashmere, alpaca, musk ox, goat rabbit and sheep , linen, rayon, ramie, and the new novelties of hemp, bamboo, and animal skin leathers and suedes, such as cow, pig, deer, elk; and finally fur bearing skins such as rabbit, mink, sable, chinchilla etc.
There there are synthetics: nylon, olefin, polyester, polypropylene spandex, elastane–many of these are know by patented brand names. There are micro-denier fibers and nano-fibers
How the raw fiber are precessed into thread and yarn can affect the finished fiber, smooth, fine thick slubbed long staple of short staple…natural and synthetics are blended to make even more types of threads and yarns…then the different threads and yarns are changed into the fabric itself.
The fiber are turned in fabrics by weaving and knitting. For example, satin is a type of weave, not a fiber: there can bee wool satin, cotton satin silk satin polyester satin acetate satin, nylon satin,— in addition to satin weave other common weaves include plain weave, twill weave even weave, herringbone weave, Jacquard weave, brocade weave and all can be worked in any of the mentioned fibers and then the woven fabric can be given further surface treatments to make it furry, smooth, shiny, textured…
The possibilities for clothing fabrics are truly infinite. There’s no limit to what can be made by combining natural fibers and synthetic fibers, whether the fiber is knitted or woven, if stretch fibers are added, by chemical surface treatments, etc…
