Textilegence Magazine & Digital Platform

This article surveys the development of textiles and the history and development of the textile industry. It treats in some detail the processes involved in the conversion of fibres to yarn, fabric construction, finishing operations applied to textiles, uses of textile materials, and the relationship between the producer and the consumer.

 

Information about specific natural and synthetic textile fibres such as wool, mohair, nylon, and polyester are treated in separate articles.

Textiles have such an important bearing on our daily lives that everyone should know something about the basics of fibres and their properties.
