All about textile fibres! To know more about the various fibres used in the textile industry, please select the type of fibre you would like to see or you can just browse through the various fibres: Pique Type : Common Fibres Fibre: Cotton, rayon, synthetics. Weave: Lengthwise rib, English crosswise rib or cord weave. Characteristics: Originally was a crosswise rib but now mostly a lengthwise rib and the same as bedford cord. Ribs are often filled to give a more pronounced wale (cord weave). Comes in medium to heavy weights. It is generally made of combed face yarns and carded stuffer yarns. It is durable and launders well. Wrinkles badly unless given a wrinkle-free finish. Various prices. Also comes in different patterns besides wales. Some of the patterns are birdseye (small diamond), waffle (small squares), honeycomb (like the design on honeycomb honey). When the fabric begins to wear out it wears at the corded areas first. Uses: Trims, collars, cuffs, millinery, infants wear, coats, and bonnets, women's and children's summer dresses, skirts and blouses, shirts, play clothes, and evening gowns. < Prev    Up    Next > Categories: Common Fibres Standard Worsted and Wool Fibres Standard Silk and Silk Imitation Fibres Speciality Fibres Plant fibres Manmade fibres Miscellaneous fibres
