What Is A Fabric?

Fabrics are materials that are a result of knitting or weaving threads. At Ellora Creations PVT LTD, both woven and knitted fabrics are used to manufacture the garment.

Woven Fabrics Woven fabrics are textiles that are generally made on a loom (power and hand). They are formed by making two sets of yarnthreads meet each other at right angles. These fabric types are considered to be more durable and less stretchy. The fabric counts determine the durability and tightness of the same. The lesser the fabric count the lower is the durability.
A few examples of woven fabrics are:

• Casement
• Buckram
• Chiffon
• Denim
• Georgette
• Muslin
• Tissue

Knitted Fabrics Knitted fabrics are textiles that are made by a single set of yarn thread. They are formed by interloping and locking. These fabrics are stretchy and can also return to their original shape easily.

The fabric is mixed with various synthetic materials too. They are comfortable to wear but result in easy piling. The knitted fabrics can be flat knit, purl knit, or rib stitch knit.
A few examples of knitted fabrics are:

• Jersey Material
• Viscose Knit Fabric
• Jacquard
• Fleece
• Terry Cloth
• Felt

Polyester
A synthetic fiber-made fabric; was developed in the 20th century. Polyester is made of a chemical reaction involving air, water, and petroleum. The term polyester is wide and includes in itself fabrics that are made out of polyester yarns. A man-made fiber, polyester is slippery and silk-like to touch.

Polyester is a durable and long-lasting fabric, it is hydrophobic hence does not absorb water or sweat. The fabric is stretchy and stronger than cotton. A drawback of the fabric that makes it a major concern for the environment is that it is non-biodegradable.

Poly-Cotton
Poly-Cotton fabrics are a blend of both cotton and polyester in different percentages depending upon the usage. Example 65% Cotton and 35% Polyester. This fabric is widely used due to its benefits like breathable, cost-effective, tear-resistant, and durable. They are fashioned into dresses, t-shirts, tops, skirts, and much more.
