 Definitions
Fabric

• Any material woven, knitted, felted, or otherwise produced from, or in

10 • Fabric various construction – weaving/knitting/braiding/netting/bonding
 Definitions
Finishing

the consumer’s goods
• Purpose: to make the fabric suitable for its intended end use
11 • 2 types of finishing : functional & aesthetic finishes
