This book is a step in the direction of giving an Indian perspective for understanding the world of fabrics. Organised in seven parts, the book adopts a systematic approach in defining and exploring the concepts of fabric science. Part I (Fundamentals) discusses the history, composition, classification and properties of textile fibres. Part II (Fibres) focuses on the typical traits of the fibre family. Part III (Yarns) deals with yarn production and properties. Part IV (Fabrics) covers weaving, knitting and other methods of fabric construction. Part V (Finishing) highlights the colouration and functional finishes of any fabric. Part VI (Consumer Concerns) is aimed at enhancing consumer satisfaction by generating awareness among consumers regarding selection, care and maintenance and vital topics like blending and defects. Part VII (Miscellaneous concepts)—guides students on career opportunities related to this course.
