a lightweight, plain weave, made of silk or manufactured fibers, with an open mesh-like appearance. since the fabric is made with high twist filament yarns, it has a crisp hand. end uses include eveningwear and curtains.

nonwoven fabric

fabrics made directly from individual fibers that are matted together by forming an interlocking web of fibers either mechanically (tangling together) or chemically (gluing, bonding, or melting together).

novelty yarn

a yarn that is intentionally produced to have a special or unique effect. these effects can be produced by twisting together uneven single yarns, by using yarns that contain irregularities, or by twisting yarns that contain a color variance. a slubbed yarn is an example of a novelty yarn.

nylon

produced in 1938, the first completely synthetic fiber developed. known for its high strength and excellent resilience, nylon has superior abrasion resistance and high flexibility.

nytril

a manufactured fiber, most often used in sweaters or pile fabrics, where little or no pressing is recommended, as the fiber has a low softening or melting point. however, it has also been successfully used in blends with wool for the purpose of minimizing shrinkage and improving the shape retention in garments.

o

olefin (also known as polyolefin and polypropylene)


a manufactured fiber characterized by its light weight, high strength, and abrasion resistance. olefin is also good at transporting moisture, creating a wicking action. end-uses include activewear apparel, rope, indoor-outdoor carpets, lawn furniture, and upholstery.

a tough medium to heavyweight coarsely woven plain weave fabric, usually made of a cotton or cotton/poly blend. lower grades of the unfinished fabric are used for such industrial purposes as bags, sacks, pipe coverings. higher grades of finished osnaburg can be found in mattress ticking, slipcovers, workwear, and apparel.

ottoman

a tightly woven plain weave ribbed fabric with a hard slightly lustered surface. the ribbed effect is created by weaving a finer silk or manufactured warp yarn with a heavier filler yarn, usually made of cotton, wool, or waste yarn. in the construction, the heavier filler yarn is completely covered by the warp yarn, thus creating the ribbed effect. end uses for this fabric include coats, suits, dresses, upholstery, and draperies.

oxford

a fine, soft, lightweight woven cotton or blended with manufactured fibers in a 2 x 1 basket weave variation of the plain weave construction. the fabric is used primarily in shirtings.
