In the Fibre to Fabric Science class, students explore the fascinating journey of textiles from raw materials to finished fabrics. This course delves into the various types of natural and synthetic fibres, their properties, and how they are transformed into textiles through processes such as spinning, weaving, and dyeing. Students engage in hands-on activities, experiments, and projects that illustrate key concepts in textile science, including fibre identification, fabric construction techniques, and the impact of technology on the textile industry. By the end of the class, students will have a comprehensive understanding of the science behind fabrics and their applications in everyday life.

In a Fibre to Fabric Science class, students typically work on a variety of hands-on projects that enhance their understanding of textile science. Here are some common project types:

1. Fibre Identification Project:

   • Students collect samples of different natural and synthetic fibres and learn to identify them based on their properties, such as texture, strength, and burn tests.

2. Spinning and Weaving Demonstration:

   • Students create their yarn by spinning fibres and then use simple weaving techniques to make a small fabric piece, exploring traditional and modern methods.

3. Fibre Sources:

   • • Natural fibres: Cotton, wool, silk, linen.
     • Synthetic fibres: Polyester, nylon, acrylic.
     • Blended fibres: Benefits and examples.

4. Yarn Types and Functions: Different types of yarns (e.g., worsted, woollen, novelty). Applications and best uses for each type.

5. Project Presentation: Students present their yarn projects, discussing their processes and findings.

This structure allows for a comprehensive understanding of yarns, combining theoretical knowledge with practical experience.
