taffeta


a lustrous, medium weight, plain weave fabric with a slight ribbed appearance in the filling (crosswise) direction. for formal wear, taffeta is a favorite choice. it provides a crisp hand, with lots of body. silk taffeta gives the ultimate rustle, but other fibers are also good choices.

tapestry

a heavy, often hand-woven, ribbed fabric, featuring an elaborate design depicting a historical or current pictorial display. the weft-faced fabric design is made by using colored filling yarns, only in areas where needed, that are worked back and forth over spun warp yarns, which are visible on the back. end-uses include wall hangings and upholstery.

tension control weave

a type of decorative weave, characterized by a puckered effect which occurs BECause the tension in the warp yarns is intentionally varied before the filling yarns are placed in the fabric.

terry cloth

a typical uncut pile weave fabric. this fabric is formed by using two sets of warp yarns. one set of warp yarns is under very little tension; when the filling yarns are packed into place, these loose yarns are pushed backward along with the filling yarns, and loops are formed. typical uses include towels, robes, and apparel.

terry velour

a pile weave cotton fabric with an uncut pile on one side and a cut pile on the reverse side. terry velour is valued for its soft, luxurious hand. typical uses include towels, robes, and apparel.

ticking

a tightly woven, very durable fabric, usually made of cotton, and used for covering mattresses, box springs, pillows, and work clothes. the fabric can be made by using a plain, satin, or twill weave construction.

triacetate

a manufactured fiber, which like acetate, is made by modifying cellulose. however, even more acetate groups have been added to create this fiber. triacetate is less absorbent and less sensitive to high temperatures than acetate. it can be hand or machine washed and tumble dried, with relatively good wrinkle recovery.

tricot knit

a warp knit fabric in which the fabric is formed by interlooping adjacent parallel yarns. the warp beam holds thousands of yards of yarns in a parallel arrangement, and these yarns are fed into the knitting area simultaneously. sufficient yarns to produce the final fabric width and length are on the beam. tricot knits are frequently used in women's lingerie items such as slips, bras, panties, and nightgowns.

tulle

a lightweight, extremely fine, machine-made netting, usually with a hexagon shaped mesh effect. end-uses include dance costumes and veils.

tweed

a medium to heavy weight, fluffy, woolen, twill weave fabric containing colored slubbed yarns. common end-uses include coats and suits.

twill weave

a basic weave in which the fabrics are constructed by interlacing warp and filling yarns in a progressive alternation which creates a diagonal effect on the face, or right side, of the fabric. in some twill weave fabrics, the diagonal effect may also be seen clearly on the back side of the fabric.

twist

a term that applies to the number of turns and the direction that two yarns are turned during the manufacturing process. the yarn twist brings the fibers close together and makes them compact. it helps the fibers adhere to one another, increasing yarn strength. the direction and amount of yarn twist helps determine appearance, performance, durability of both yarns and the subsequent fabric or textile product. single yarns may be twisted to the right (s twist) or to the left (z twist). generally, woolen and worsted yarns are s-twist, while cotton and flax yarns are typically z-twist. twist is generally expressed as turns per inch (tpi), turns per meter (tpm), or turns per centimeter (tpc).
