I start a new season of the podcast with each new session of my Textiles course.
-
Water, stains, we can repel them all! Radiation, Fire, no problem!

-
Changing the properties of textiles is the goal of functional finishing.
-
Besides Luster and Hand, we can change the Design or Texture of fabrics.
-
Aesthetic finishes are used to change the look or feel of fabric by changing the luster or the hand.
-
Routine finishes include bleaching, ironing and tentering.
-
Printing and dyeing can have some quality issues that it is helpful to understand.
-
Direct printing also includes screen printing and inkjet printing while indirect printing solves a problem we have since the invention of synthetic polymers.
-
The methods used for printing have developed over time.
-
We can dye at different stages during the production process. We can use dyes to make designs in a process called “resist printing”.
-
How do we improve the affinity of dyes for fibers?
-
We give color to textiles using dyes and pigments.
-
We don’t need to use fibers to make nonyarn fabrics, we can just use polymers in solution or look to nature.
-
The nonyarn fabrics usually have fairly descriptive names.
-
We can make fabrics without using yarns.
-
Weft and warp knits don’t have warp or weft yarns, but they do go in different directions. The warp knits include tricot and raschel knits.
-
The weft knits include jersey, rib and purl knits.
-
Knits are far newer than wovens and borrow vocabulary from wovens.
-
Double cloths can use 3, 4 or 5 yarns instead of the usual two. Textured weaves, on the other hand, stick to familiar methods to create a subtle pebbly surface.
-
Pile weaves can be made in so many ways and produce so many fabrics, including velvet, velveteen and corduroy. Plus, let’s dig into carpet!
