- The word 'textile' is from Latin, from the adjective textilis, meaning 'woven', from textus, the past participle of the verb texere, 'to weave'.
- the main types of textiles, plain weave, twill, or satin weave, there is little difference between the ancient and modern methods.
- A textile or cloth is a flexible woven material consisting of a network of natural or artificial fibres often referred to as thread or yarn.
- Yarn is produced by spinning raw fibers of wool, flax, cotton, or other material to produce long strands.[3] Textiles are formed by weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting, or pressing fibers together (felt).
- The words fabric and cloth are used in textile assembly trades (such as tailoring and dressmaking) as synonyms for textile.
- However, there are subtle differences in these terms in specialized usage.
- Textile refers to any material made of interlacing fibres.
- Fabric refers to any material made through weaving, knitting, spreading, crocheting, or bonding that may be used in production of further goods (garments, etc.).
- Cloth may be used synonymously with fabric but often refers to a finished piece of fabric used for a specific purpose (e.g., table cloth)
