Textiles and Textile Technology

Textiles refer to materials made from fibers, such as cotton, wool, or synthetic substances, used to create fabrics and clothing. Textile technology encompasses the methods and processes used to produce, transform, and improve these materials—like spinning fibers into yarn, weaving or knitting fabrics, and applying finishes for durability or appearance. It combines science and engineering to develop innovative textiles with specific properties, such as moisture-wicking, breathability, or strength, serving various industries like fashion, healthcare, and home furnishings. Overall, textile technology advances how we design and manufacture fabrics to meet diverse needs.
