This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and processes involved in fabric production within the textile industry. It covers the transformation of fibres into yarns and ultimately into fabrics, emphasizing both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
Students will explore key stages of production, including fibre selection, yarn manufacturing (spinning), and fabric formation techniques such as weaving, knitting, and nonwoven processes. The course also introduces fabric structure, properties, and performance, enabling students to understand how production methods influence the final textile product.
Practical sessions will allow students to gain hands-on experience with basic equipment and techniques, while also analyzing different types of fabrics used in fashion and related industries. Consideration will be given to quality control, sustainability, and modern innovations in fabric production.
By the end of the course, students will be able to explain fabric production processes, differentiate between fabric types, and apply this knowledge in selecting appropriate textiles for fashion design and product development.
