Course Description
‘A fabric is a flat structure consisting of fibrous products, either natural or manmade. Nowadays
there are various technologies suitable to create textiles, which all of them go by the name of
fabrics. We shall deal here exclusively with the technology producing orthogonal fabrics by
interlacing together two elements: warp and weft. The first element is represented by the threads
pliced lengthwise in the fabric, while the second is represented by the threads placed in width
direction. The yarn is marketed wound on various types of packages, which generally depend on
the technology of the spinning process from which the yar originates; the most common
packages are cones, spools or bobbins, flanged bobbins, hanks and cheeses.
The populaity of knitting has grown a lot within the recent years owing to the adaptability of
various man-made fibers, the increased versatility of knitting techniques and the growth in
demand for wrinkle-resistant, stretchable, snug-fitting fabrics, Knitted textiles and apparel
represent approximately one thied of the global textile market, together with the advances of new
technical applications for knitted textiles. :

Class attendance & Academic sincerity
‘An interactive, participatory student driven instruction method will be used in teaching the course
Therefore, regular class participation along with reading is necessary for a good understanding of the
subject, Regular attendance of the students will be recorded, Students should enter the class room
on time and should stay up to the end of the lecture. Academic sincerity will be monitored through
attentiveness, punctuality, assessments and response of the students in the class, Lecture notes will
be provided in the fon of power point presentations but students are advised to take notes during
class. Students are asked to make sure of power off their cellular phones during lecture time.
Exam policy ; ,
