What are the steps involved in making sportswear fabrics?

Be prepared to learn everything you need to know about manufacturing fabrics, the steps involved in fabric production:

The process of making clothing begins with the growth of natural textile fibers. The first step in making textiles is getting the raw fiber and figuring out where to get it. Plants, animals or minerals are used to obtain the fiber, which is then made into long strands called yarn.

One of the classifications is naturally available fibers are cotton, linen, wool, silk, etc.

The second is man-made fibers, also known as synthetic fibers, which are also used to make different fabrics such as polyester, nylon, and rayon.

The process of making yarn is known as the "mother" of textiles. Mainly wool, polyester, cotton, nylon or synthetic fibers are spun together to make yarn. The yarn-making process is the transformation of raw materials into yarn, which is mainly divided into knitting, weaving and crochet.

The first step in making yarn is to prepare the raw material. In order to create the final textile product, the raw materials must be sorted, cleaned, and then mixed.

Once the raw materials are prepared, a process called "spinning" turns them into yarn. Spinning is done using a machine with a steel tube on which fibers or spinning material called "roving" is wound. The roving can be made from natural materials such as cotton or wool.

The next step is weaving, or the process of weaving fabric. It is done by moving the yarn from one machine to another to make a long piece of cloth. The process of making fabric from raw materials such as cotton, wool, linen and silk is called fabric manufacturing. It turns natural fibers into yarns that can be used for knitting and weaving

There are 4 kinds of fabrics made; woven fabric, knitted fabric, non-woven fabric, woven fabric

Dyeing agent is added to the fabric to change the color, this is the process of dyeing the fabric or printing the pattern on it. Different dyeing and printing methods can be used, such as direct dyeing, printing, digital printing, washing, etc.

The process of turning yarn into fabric is called weaving or knitting. There are different methods of knitting and weaving, such as flat knitting, circular knitting, warp knitting, etc.

This step includes finishing, flattening, drying and coating of the fabric to give it the desired texture and performance characteristics. It may involve the use of different textile auxiliaries to add additional properties, such as anti-pilling, stain removal or flame retardant treatments.
