Modal Fabric
Modal fiber is a new kind of regenerated cellulose fiber produced by FCFC (Formosa Chemicals & fiber Corporation), called Formotex fiber.
Its key advantage is its high tensile strength. Compared with Viscose, Its Wet/dry Tenacity is 1.5 times higher. Due to the high quality of the fiber, the resultant yarn is also of high quality.
The definition stipulates minimum values concerning the wet modulus and fiber breaking resistance on fiber state. Modal fiber satisfies these requirements.
Modal is a green fiber. The solvent used during Modal production process is easily recycled without any contamination, since it is extracted from pure wood.

Hemp Fabric
Hemp fabrics are well known for their earthy, natural character reflecting the biologic and mechanical processes used to produce these beautiful fabrics. The variations in the yarn and natural color of truly natural hemp fabric gives these hemp textiles their timeless beauty and style. We primarily offer hemp fabric produced in Romania, but we also offer a variety of beautiful hemp and hemp blend fabrics from China. All fabrics listed are sold by the yard. Also wholesale hemp textiles.

Tencel Fabric
Tencel (lyocell) is a recently (as of 2010) developed artificial fiber. It is the only fiber to be invented in the last 30 years. Unlike polyester or nylon, it is made not from a completely synthetic polymer but rather from wood-based cellulose. You can find pure Tencel fabric or Tencel fabric contains other types of fibers. Fabric can either be made completely from Tencel or combined with other materials to reduce costs. Fabric made from short Tencel fibers has a feel very much like cotton. It does, however, resist wrinkling and does not shrink. Longer Tencel fibers give fabric a smooth, silky feel. These fabrics fall beautifully and can be used in

    Dyes are organic compounds that can be used to impart bright, permanent colors to fabrics. The affinity of a dye for a fabric depends on the chemical structures of the dye and fabric molecules and also on the interactions between them. Three common fabrics are wool, cotton and nylon. Wool is a protein, a naturally occurring polymer made up of amino acids with ionized side chains. Cotton is a naturally occurring polymer made up of glucose units with hydrophilic groups surrounding each glucose unit. Nylon is a synthetic polymer made of hydrocarbon repeating chains joined together by highly polar amide. (-CONH-) functional…

    Wool felt is one of the world's oldest man-made fabrics because it does not require weaving. Instead, it interlocks to form a continuous useful material. Through a process of manipulating, hammering, and steaming, scales on the wool felt fibers engage each other to form a lasting, resilient bond. The natural fibers in wool felt cannot be duplicated in the laboratory. Each wool felt fiber has a flexible microscopic covering of scales similar to the scales on a fish. Wool felt scales are made of keratin, the same tough substance that grows to form horns and hooves on cattle and other animals.…

    The variety of synthetic fibres used in manufacturing fibre grew steadily throughout the 20th century. In the 1920s, acetate was invented; in the 1940s, acetate, modacrylic, metal fibres, and saran were developed; acrylic, polyester, and spandex were introduced in the 1950s. Polyester became hugely popular in the apparel market, and by the late 1970s, more polyester was sold in the United States than cotton.[18]…

    Textiles are defined as the yarns that are woven or knitted to make fabrics. The use of textiles links the myriad cultures of the world and defines the way they clothe themselves, adorn their surroundings and go about their lives. Textiles have been an integral part of human daily life for thousands of years, with the first use of textiles, most likely felt, dates back to the late Stone Age, roughly 100,000 years ago. However, the earliest instances of cotton, silk and linen being to appear around 5,000 BC in India, Egypt and China. The ancient methods of manufacturing textiles, namely plain weave, satin weave and twill, have changed very little over the centuries. Modern manufacturing speed and capacity, however, have increased the rate of production to levels unthinkable even 200 years ago.…
