BOOK 7: TEXTILES AND TEXTILE TECHNOLOGY

Education Bureau HKSARG

Year 2009

Pages 106

This course book teaches that fabrics which are made from a variety of fibres are the materials for making clothing and textile products. Each type of fibre or fabric has its own properties and can be made into a variety of end products with different functions. Different ways to spin the fibre or to weave the yarn into fabric can change the properties and affect the appearance, colour, hand feel, style of the products. These properties should also be considered when designing fashion, developing textile materials and constructing garments in order to select or create the most suitable textile materials in meeting the needs of the wearers.
