HOW TO USE THE FABRIC SCIENCE SWATCH KIT<br />
The <strong>Fabric</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>Swatch</strong> <strong>Kit</strong> has been assembled<br />
to supplement the study of textiles. The swatches<br />
and assignments will enhance your understanding of<br />
the principles described in the textbook. This <strong>Swatch</strong><br />
<strong>Kit</strong> is designed to accompany the <strong>Fabric</strong> <strong>Science</strong>, Tenth<br />
Edition, text.<br />
Most of the fabrics contained in the <strong>Fabric</strong> <strong>Science</strong><br />
<strong>Swatch</strong> <strong>Kit</strong> have been obtained from the marketplace.<br />
They have been sold to apparel or interior furnishing<br />
manufacturers and have eventually appeared in<br />
stores as textile products (e.g., jackets and decorative<br />
pillows).<br />
The 114 fabric swatches included in the <strong>Swatch</strong><br />
Set represent examples of every major type of fiber,<br />
yarn, weave, and knit as well as examples of dye,<br />
print, and finishing applications. Examples are also<br />
provided for more recent materials such as microdenier<br />
fiber, lyocell fiber, and special purpose “high-tech”<br />
fabric such as Staybright bleach-resistant fabric. In<br />
addition, a fabric made of eco-friendly fibers, such as<br />
organic cotton and reprocessed wool, have been included.<br />
The swatches have not been “pinked,” but left<br />
with straight edges to make it easier to remove yarns<br />
(this is necessary for fabric analysis). The rectangular<br />
form has been chosen to correspond to the fabric<br />
Before removing rubberbands from<br />
fabric swatches, refer to “Mounting<br />
the <strong>Swatch</strong>es on <strong>Fabric</strong> Sample<br />
Sheets” (see page viii).<br />
A vii F<br />
length and width directions. (The long swatch direction<br />
is the fabric length.)<br />
The swatches have been organized in approximately<br />
the order in which they will be studied: fibers,<br />
yarns, weaves, knits, dyeing, printing, finishing, etc.<br />
The <strong>Fabric</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>Swatch</strong> <strong>Kit</strong> also contains a Key<br />
to identify the swatches by number and fabric name;<br />
description and fiber content; Assignments; and <strong>Fabric</strong><br />
Sample Sheets for mounting swatches.<br />
Assignments<br />
The assignments are designed to reinforce the text and<br />
classroom lectures. They are developed to broaden your<br />
understanding of the key concepts concerning textiles<br />
by involving you directly in problem solving. Successful<br />
completion of the assignments will help you develop<br />
skills of observations, analysis, and report writing.<br />
The assignments are straightforward and basic.<br />
Extensive laboratory equipment is not required. Sufficient<br />
information is provided for work to be independent<br />
of a classroom environment.<br />
For assignments that are to be completed in the<br />
classroom, read the assignment before coming to class.<br />
Use your textbook to review the related material prior<br />
to the class meeting.
Mounting the <strong>Swatch</strong>es on <strong>Fabric</strong><br />
Sample Sheets<br />
Materials: Set of swatches; <strong>Fabric</strong> Sample Sheets; double-stick<br />
tape or masking tape (3/4-inch wide); scissors<br />
The <strong>Fabric</strong> <strong>Science</strong> swatches have been placed in<br />
numerical order in the proper positions for mounting.<br />
Mount them on the <strong>Fabric</strong> Sample Sheets.<br />
The fabric number, name, and color listed in the<br />
Key are in the same sequence as the swatches in the<br />
packets. To make mounting your swatches simple and<br />
foolproof, follow these instructions:<br />
1. Do not remove the rubberbands from the packets<br />
until you actually begin mounting the swatches.<br />
2. The swatches are packaged in two separate packets.<br />
One packet labeled “A” contains swatches<br />
1–63; the second packet, labeled “B,” 64–114;<br />
and every 10 swatches are separated with tissue.<br />
Packet One “A”:<br />
Fibers (1–15)<br />
Yarns (16–27)<br />
Woven <strong>Fabric</strong>s (28–48)<br />
Knitted <strong>Fabric</strong>s (49–63)<br />
Packet Two “B”:<br />
Knitted <strong>Fabric</strong>s (64–69)<br />
Other Types of <strong>Fabric</strong>s (70–75)<br />
Dyed <strong>Fabric</strong>s (76–80)<br />
Printed <strong>Fabric</strong>s (81–88)<br />
Textile Finishes (89–98)<br />
Special <strong>Fabric</strong>s (99–114)<br />
3. Carefully remove the rubberbands from the packet<br />
labeled “A”. Keep the packet upright. Mount<br />
each swatch as you see it—face up and longer<br />
sides vertical. (Do not turn the swatch over;<br />
some fabrics have a face and back.)<br />
4. Cut a two-inch piece of tape. When using masking<br />
tape, fold the piece in half with the sticky side<br />
out. Apply the tape to the back of the swatch,<br />
with the two ends of the tape pointing downward,<br />
about 1/2 inch from the top of the sample. The<br />
tape will make it easier to remove swatches for<br />
assignments and experiments, and to return them<br />
to the <strong>Fabric</strong> Sample Sheets.<br />
5. Press the swatch with the tape in place on<br />
the <strong>Fabric</strong> Sample Sheet. Cut and remove any<br />
loose yarns extending beyond the edges of the<br />
swatches.<br />
6. Write the fabric name, number, and fiber content<br />
on the <strong>Fabric</strong> Sample Sheet.<br />
As a helpful example of how the mounting boards<br />
are used, see <strong>Swatch</strong> #1 Denim below.<br />

HOW TO USE THE FABRIC SCIENCE SWATCH KIT<br />
A viii F<br />
Using the Pick Glass<br />
The pick glass has become universal in its applications<br />
in the field of textiles and clothing. Designers,<br />
technicians, students, and teachers have found it to be<br />
an important tool for a better and clearer examination<br />
of fabrics. Yarn types, fabric weaves, knit stitches, and<br />
cloth defects can be more easily identified through its<br />
proper use. The pick glass (enclosed in this <strong>Swatch</strong><br />
<strong>Kit</strong>) is particularly useful to determine the yarns per<br />
inch in woven fabrics or the stitches per inch in knit<br />
fabrics. (<strong>Fabric</strong> construction is a measure of fabric<br />
quality.) The pick glass (examining glass), or linen<br />
tester, is composed of a frame, magnifying lenses,<br />
and a measured opening in the base opposite the<br />
lenses. When the pick glass is opened properly, the<br />
measuring lines on the base are visible when looking<br />
through the lenses.<br />
<strong>Fabric</strong>s to be examined should be placed on<br />
a flat, smooth surface. The surface must be welllighted.<br />
The open pick glass is placed on top of the<br />
cloth and viewed through the lens section. The<br />
user’s head and not the pick glass should be raised or<br />
lowered for better focus.
WHAT’S IN A FABRIC NAME?<br />
The <strong>Fabric</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>Swatch</strong> <strong>Kit</strong> contains many classic woven<br />
and knit fabrics. Most fabric names are rooted in historic<br />
origin and were originally produced only from natural fibers.<br />
However, as manufactured fibers were developed (most within<br />
the 20th century), many of these original fabrics began to be<br />
made from these new fibers. For example, taffeta was originally<br />
made from 100% silk. Now taffeta is made from rayon, acetate,<br />
nylon, or polyester. All taffeta fabrics will have similar appearances,<br />
but some properties will be different because of the different<br />
fiber content (e.g., strength). <strong>Fabric</strong> #26 in this swatch<br />
packet is an example of taffeta made from nylon while fabric<br />
#94 is made of acetate.<br />
Another example of a classic fabric originally made only<br />
from silk is fabric #15, bridal satin. This fabric appears similar<br />
to silk satin, but is made from acetate.<br />
Many fabrics do not have historic names. Some of these<br />
have names which describe the general end use. <strong>Fabric</strong> #21,<br />
bathing-suit fabric, and fabric #111, luggage fabric, are two<br />
such examples. Other fabrics have properties that are unique<br />
and somewhat different from any historic name fabric, or enduse<br />
fabric. These are described by their special properties. <strong>Fabric</strong>s<br />
#68, sports jersey, fabric #98, accordion pleat, and fabric<br />
#104, rip stop, are such examples. The woven fabric moiré<br />
faille, #31, is an example of a classic fabric whose name also<br />
includes a special fabric property (i.e., moiré design).<br />
Look at the various names of the fabrics in the “Key to<br />
<strong>Fabric</strong> <strong>Swatch</strong>es” to distinguish the classic name from the nonclassic<br />
ones.<br />
