Concept:

The term "fibre" refers to a thin thread made from either natural or artificial materials, particularly one used to make cloth or rope.

Synthetic/Artificial fibre:

• Synthetic fibres are those that are not derived from natural sources such as plants and animals.
• Synthetic fibres are either modified natural fibres or produced directly in laboratories.
• The synthetic fibres are made by human beings.
• These are called synthetic or man-made fibres.
• A synthetic fibre is also a chain of small units joined together. Each small unit is actually a chemical substance.
• Many such small units combine to form a large single unit called a polymer.
• Synthetic fibre is more durable than natural fibre.

Explanation:

Jute fibre

• ​Jute fibre is obtained only from the stem of the jute plants.
• It is mainly grown in the rainy season.
• Jute mainly grows in regions having alluvial soil which is found in the delta regions of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers.
• In India, jute is basically grown in the states of Bihar, West Bengal and Assam.
• Jute is sometimes also called the golden fibre.
• It is soft, shiny and long fibre with a silky texture.
• The jute plant is about 3 meters in height and bears yellow flowers in a few months.
• During this time, the liquid skin moves out to separate the fibre and this process is known as retting.

Additional Information

Natural fibre

• Cotton is a fluffy fabric made of cellulose, an insoluble substance, and is one of the most common fabrics used today to manufacture clothing materials.
• Natural fibres can be derived from both plants and animals.
• They are typically processed and spun into yarn, which is then turned into a product.
• Because of their physical properties, natural fibres such as cotton are preferred for clothing materials.
• They are typically soft and lightweight, making them a popular textile type.
• Cotton, wool, silk, and other natural fibres are derived from plants or animals.

Concept:

Stitch:

• A stitch is a single thread or yarn turn or loop.
• The fundamental building blocks of any hand- or machine-made needle lace, knitting, sewing, embroidery, and other crafts are stitches.
• Different stitches are employed for various objectives.

Explanation:

Reverse Stitch:

• Reverse or reinforcing stitches are frequently used at the start and end of sewing.
• Depending on the stitch chosen, the reverse/reinforcement stitch button will either sew reverse or reinforcement stitches.
• Using reinforcement stitches, three to five stitches are stitched in the same spot.
• When utilising reverse stitches, the stitching is carried out in the other way.
• These stitches are used in order to secure stitches. 

Thus, the reverse stitch allows the machine to stitch backwards (to secure stitches).

Additional InformationStitch patterns:

• The given stitch patterns are repeated vertically in a series of rows.
• Together, they form a stitch pattern that dictates the texture of your knit fabric, including whether it will be cabled or striped, smooth or textured, etc.

Tension regulator:

• The tension on the top thread is managed by this dial.
• The top thread and bobbin thread will join together in neat stitches with the right amount of tension.
• The stitch will break if the tension is set too tight; if it is set too loosely, the stitches will not hold.
• Turn the manual dial counterclockwise to reduce tension and clockwise to raise tension on machines.

Back Stitch:

• Backstitch refers to a class of embroidery and sewing stitches in which each individual stitch is created facing the opposite direction from the general stitching direction.
• These stitches are used to create lines in embroidery and are typically used to outline forms and provide fine detail to an embroidered design.
• It is a practical stitch used in hand sewing that securely fastens two pieces of fabric together.
• The back stitch is the strongest stitch among the fundamental stitches because it is made up of little, back-and-forth stitches.

Concept:

• Clothes, or clothing, is a collective term for the various types of materials worn on the human body. 
• Clothes protect our body from cold, rain and other weather conditions.
• Natural fibres derived from both plant and animal sources are used to make clothing. 
• Cotton, flax, wool, leather, silk, and other natural fibres are examples.

Explanation:

• Starch is found in many plants and is the form in which food is stored for future use.
• The main sources of laundry starch are rice, wheat, and maize.
• By sealing the individual clothing fibres, starch protects the fabric from stains.
• Starch is one of the most important ingredients in the dry cleaning process.
• Starch is used to protect clothing that cannot be washed in water.

Thus, starch is t.

The correct answer is Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true.

Key Points

Statement I: Natural fibres like cotton, wool, silk, nylon are obtained from plants or animals is false because,-

• Natural fibres come from plants and animals, while nylon is a synthetic fibre.
• Cotton and linen are examples of natural fibres obtained from plants.
• Wool and silk are natural fibres derived from animals; wool comes from sheep, and silk comes from silkworms.
• Nylon, however, is a synthetic fibre made through chemical processes by humans and not obtained from natural sources

Statement II: Synthetic fibres are made by human beings, that is why these are called synthetic or man-made fibres is true.

• Synthetic fibres are artificially produced through chemical processes in laboratories and industries.
• Some common examples of synthetic fibres include nylon, polyester, and acrylic.
• These fibres are designed to mimic the properties of natural fibres but often come with enhanced durability and other specific characteristics.

Additional Information

• Natural fibres:
  • Sources: Derived from plants (e.g., cotton) or animals (e.g., wool).
  • Properties: Biodegradable, eco-friendly, and often comfortable to wear.
  • Examples: Cotton, wool, silk, jute, and linen.
• Synthetic fibres:
  • Sources: Man-made through chemical synthesis.
  • Properties: Durable, versatile, often non-biodegradable, and can be engineered for specific uses.
  • Examples: Nylon, polyester, acrylic, and rayon.

Concept:

Mahatma Gandhi:

•  Mahatma Gandhi has been regarded as the 'Father' of the Indian nation. 
• In India, Gandhi Jayanti is observed to commemorate Mahatma Gandhi's birth on 2nd October.

Self sufficient:

• Mahatma Gandhi’s ideas about self-sufficiency and handicrafts were directly related to his views on industries and industrial society.
• Gandhiji believed that industrial societies were based on an endless production of commodities.

Explanation:

Khadi:

• Khadi is a hand-spun and -woven natural fibre fabric that Mahatma Gandhi promoted as swadeshi (self-sufficiency) for the Indian subcontinent's freedom struggle.
• He encouraged people to wear clothes made of homespun yarn termed khadi.
• The Sabarmati Ashram produced the first item of the hand-woven fabric in 1917–18.
• Cotton is used to make the fabric, but it may also contain silk or wool, both of which are spun into yarn on a charkha.
• On Gandhi Jayanti(means,2nd October), the government announced a  discount on khadi products.

Thus, on 2nd October a special discount is provided on the price of the clothes made up of Khadi.

Additional Information26 January:

•  Indian Constitution came into effect on 26 January 1950.
• It is known as the Republic day of India.

21 June:

• On June 21, people around the world witness International Yoga Day.
• To promote yoga in general and to educate people about its advantages.

5th September:

• Every year on September 5, teachers' day is witnessed to honour Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan.
• Who were a celebrated educator and recipient of the Bharat Ratna award who served as India's first vice president and second president of India

Concept:

Fibre can be obtained from various sources.

• Natural Fibre: Natural fibres are the fibres that are obtained from plants, animals or mineral sources. Some examples are cotton, silk, wool etc.
• Synthetic fibres: Synthetic fibres are man-made polymers designed to make a fabric. Polymers are obtained when many small units are joined together chemically. Some examples are silk, acrylic, rayon, dacron etc.
• Synthetic fibres produce a pungent smell while burning because they are prepared from petroleum and synthetic product.

Explanation:

​Nylon was the first 'fully synthetic' fibre that was developed in the 1930s by an American researcher, Wallace Carothers at Du Pont, a chemical firm. 

• It was made without using any natural raw materials. It was prepared from coal, water and air.
• Nylon is a family of linear polymers which contains amide groups in the backbone of the chain.
• Nylon 6, Nylon 6, 6, are different nylon polymers.
• Nylon 6, 6- It is produced by the polymerisation of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid.
• Nylon 6 - It is produced by the polymerisation of caprolactam.

Hence Nylon is a synthetic fibre, it produces a pungent smell while burning.

Concept:

• One of the accurate methods to identify fabric is by burning it.
• One can easily distinguish between natural and artificial fabric.
• The kind of burn, smell and colour of flame helps identify the fabric.

Explanation:

Yellow flame

• Cotton is made up of cellulose.
• It burns quickly with a bright flame.
• The flame is yellow with an orange afterglow.
• It does not melt.
• Has the odour of burning paper, wood or leaves.
• It leaves fine grey ash.

Thus, when the cotton cloth burns, it emits a yellow flame.

Additional Information Orange flame

• Wool and another proteinaceous fibre burn with a sputtering orange flame.

Key Points

Angocha:

• It is multi-purpose linen for everyday use.
• For centuries, angochas have provided useful and personal value as linens that are pure and comforting both in their composition and use.
• Usually is used used in a similar way as a hankercheif.
• Tribal people tie it on their heads to protect them from the sun and wipe sweat.​

​Thus, tribal men tie Angocha on their heads.

Additional Information

Angrakha:

• It is worn in the upper part of the men's body.
• It is worn without collars and buttons up to full arms.

Pagri/Safa:

• It is about 5.5 m long and 40 cm wide, worn on the head.
• The Pagri has major importance for the Rajasthani people, it is considered the "pride of Rajasthan".
• It is a cloth that is worn on the head. 
• It covers the head portion. 

Concept:

Lea:

• British measurement of length used the lea or lay.
• It measures varied lengths. 

Explanation:

The length units are:

• Hank: 840 yards or seven leas (770 m)
• Bundle: weighs 10 pounds (4.5 kg)
• Spyndle:14400 yards (13200 m)
• Lea: 80 threads or 120 yards (110 m)
• Thread: the length of a warp beam or 54 inches (1.4 m) 

Thus, the number of threads in a lea is 80.Important Points

• The yarn length can be determined using the linear density and weight; for instance:
• The formula is:
  • l/m = 1693 × l_m/Nec × m/kg, where
    • l/m stands for the length of the yarn in meters.
    • m/kg is the weight of the yarn in kgs.
    • l_m/Nec is the cotton count (English).
