Definition of textiles with examples
The word textile is derived from the Latin verb texere, meaning “to weave”. Originally, therefore only to woven fabrics and specifically excluded knitted cloth, lace, netting, felt, braid, and cord. Today textile has become a generic term for all fiber materials which therefore refers to any raw material that is used in making fabrics e.g. fibre, yarn, thread, etc. whether made by weaving, knitting, bonding, laminating, felting, or other processes. It can even refer to paper like materials, but it excludes leather and plastic sheeting.
