- A textile is a flexible material made by creating an interlocking network of yarns or threads, which are produced by spinning raw fibres (from either natural or synthetic sources) into long and twisted lengths. Textiles are then formed by weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting, tatting, felting, bonding or braiding these yarns together. The related words "fabric" and "cloth" and "material" are often used in textile assembly trades (such as tailoring and dressmaking) as synonyms for textile. However, there are subtle differences in these terms in specialized usage. A textile is any material made of the interlacing fibres, including carpeting and geotextiles, which may not necessarily be used in the production of further goods, such as clothing and upholstery. A fabric is a material made through weaving, knitting, spreading, felting, stitching, crocheting or bonding that may be used in the production of further products, such as clothing and upholstery, thus requiring a further step of the production. Cloth may also be used synonymously with fabric, but often specifically refers to a piece of fabric that has been processed or cut.

- ABSTRACT: Textile fabrics have been serving the human race for many centuries. They not only provide strength but also provide flexibility (easy to bend, shear, and twist), permeability, and drape-ability. Such unique attributes are essential to obtain considerable protection, esthetics, and comfort during their use as apparels or garments. In this 21st century, they are now being used in various technical applications where the product requirements are altogether different from normal garment properties. The most commonly used fabric structure for garments and even for technical applications is the woven fabrics where two sets of perpendicular yarns are crossed and interweave with each other to create a coherent and stable structure. In this chapter, we focus on the details on the woven fabric construction to describe the basic principles used in establishing structure-property relationship of a textile structure and illustrate the underlying assumptions and their implications. This will help in analysis and interpretation of the structural-property relationship of such fabrics, and set a platform to select/engineer optimum structure with suitable properties of the fabric for various technical applications.
