Q

Swells when damp, and shrinks when dry is a condition called?

A

Hiking

29
Q

The fibers vary from 1” to 18” depending on where it is obtaines. Color varies from pale neutral to dark brown. Known for its exceptional resiliency and elasticity. This can be reshaped by steaming or pressing. The fiber has almost no resistance to alkalis.

A

Wool

30
Q

from camel, goat, mohair, alpaca, llama, the vicuna (the rarest) and horsehair

A

Hair

31
Q

It is said to be the fiber of the Kings and is also luxurious that the Arc of the Covenant of the Old Testament was said to be lined and curtained with it

A

A

Pashmina

33
Q

Pleasure of kings. It is a Persian word that translates as “king of wools”.This is one of the finest textiles. It is created from white, silver or grey hair of wild goats. The supply of this hair is very limited so the textile is very rare. It is one of the most expensive fabrics in the world.

A

Shatoosh

34
Q

The long, lustrous hair of the Angora goat. It is used, mixed with other fibers

A

Mohair

35
Q

It is the finest cultured silk yarn and is made from the longest filaments

A

Organize or Thrown

36
Q

uses shorter strands (or broken strands) and have less luster and sheen

A

Tram, Spunsilk or Bourette

37
Q

wild silk made of cocoons that feed on oak or other trees. It process a rough quality and is light brown color. It cannot be bleached white. Used for weaving rougher textiles such as pongee, shikj and shantung

threads of gold, silver or copper often woven into filmy casements or wall hangings. THese fibers do not tarnish.Not affected by saltwater or humidity

A

Metal Fiber

42
Q

The first synthetic fiber. It is derived from the pithy sections of plants stalks and in refining remains almost pure celllulose. Called the “poor man’s silk” or “artficial silk” when spun and woven on the silk system and bears resemblance to linen when spun and woven on the linen system. Frequently blended with with cotton or wool

A

Rayon

43
Q

This can be found as the woven backing of Velvet which bears nylon, cotton or silk face (pile)

A

Rayon

44
Q

Generally heat-treated against wrinkling, is washable fast drying, and does not shrink. Its fibers are very flexible, resulting in fabric with excellent draping qualities. However, it needs special dyes. It has luxurious hand, and woven unto expensive textiles such as satins, failles, crepes, brocades. and damasks. This a thermoplastic fiber, easily damaged by heat and easily wrinkled.

A

Acetate

45
Q

This has a good resiliency as a fiber compared with acetate. It is processed differently than acetate, resulting in a fiber of greater stability and abrasion resistance. It can be heat treated to prevent the heat sensitivity inherent to acetate. This is shrink resistant, and maintains a crisp finish, thus, permament pleats can be set in triacetate. It is used for texture knits and tricots.

A

Tri-acetate

46
Q

Requires elements of petroleum, natural gas (carbon), air (nitogen and oxygen) and water (hydrogen). It produces long chain molecules which are spun and stretched after cooling. Strongest of all fibers, it is highly elastic with good elongation and recovery properties. Its great strength, high resiliency, and good abrasion resistance makes it the most popular carpet fiber. This fiber deteriorates when exposed to sunlight

A

Nylon

47
Q

It is derived from elements of coal, air, water, petroleum and limestone. It uses staple fibers which are crimped before cutting and then mechanically bulked for an insulative, fluffy, woil-like effect

A

Acrylic

48
Q

It is derived from elements of natural gas, coal, air, and salt, and water. Fibers easily dyed are washable and are drip-dry. Resistant to acids and alkalis. Flame-resistant

A

Modacrylic

49
Q

It is one of the lightest synthetic fibers and has excellent elastic recovery. Polypropylene and polyethylene. Carpet fibers

A

Olefins

50
Q

It is derived of coal, air water and petroleum. Reistant to air-borne and oil-borne dirt, low moisture absorbency, wrinkle resistance, high strength and resiliency, abrasion resistance, and dimensional stability. Dacron, Fortel, Kodel, Trevira are all popular trade names

A

Polyester

51
Q

It allows flexibility of weave from lacy open-weace cloths, to semi opaque casement textiles to light textured weave textiles.

A

Glass Fiber
