		Textiles have an assortment of uses, the most common of which are for clothing and containers such as bags and baskets.
		Textiles are made in various strengths and degrees of durability, from the finest gossamer to the sturdiest canvas.
		Textiles are sometimes finished by starching, which makes the fabric stiff and less prone to wrinkles, or by waterproofing, which makes the fabric slick and impervious to water or other liquids.

	Mid Century Textiles & Fabric
		The production of textiles is an indoseving craft, whose speed and scale of production has been altered almost beyond recognition by industrialization and the introduction of modern manufacturing techniques.
		Coloured designs in textiles can be created by weaving together fibres of different colours (plaid), adding coloured stitches to finished fabric (embroidery), creating patterns by tying off areas of cloth and dyeing the rest (tie-dye, or drawing wax designs on cloth and dyeing in between them (batik), or using various printing processes on finished fabric.
		In this process, the original colour of the textile is removed by chemicals or exposure to sunlight, turning the textile pale or white.

	Textiles and Costumes in Early India
		In relation to textiles, three categories of Harappan finds are more significant : stone sculptures, the priest statuette draped in a shawl being of exceptional significance; terracottas, figurines of the Mother goddess, various male and female icons, and seals carved with human figures; and metal-casts, mainly the statue of the undraped dancing girl.
		Contrarily, the main emphasis of the Jain and Buddhist texts is on textiles, cotton in particular, and related activities — tailoring, printing and dying, as also spinning and weaving, though fur garments also figure in some of the Jain and Buddhist texts and monks were allowed to have a strips of deer-skins.
		These texts are quite elaborate in their details of various textiles — vastra or vasana made from kauseya, a silk produced from cocoon, not silk-worms; linen made from flax; dhanga, another class of linen made from hemp plant; karpasa, cotton; and, wool obtained mainly from sheep and goats.

		Geotextiles, or more generally geosynthetics, are flexible textiles or polymeric sheets that are applied either to the soil surface or between materials to provide filtration, separation, reinforcement/stabilization or drainage properties in civil engineering applications.
		The global production of textiles used in geotextile, construction and other civil engineering applications is around 1.38 million tons per year — 12.6% of total technical textile consumption — and valued at US$5.25 billion.
		Further, the terminology and testing methods between the textile and civil engineering/construction industries were, at the time, very different.

		Textiles provides students with a basic knowledge of textiles so that they understand how textiles are produced and how appropriate performance characteristics are incorporated into materials and products.
		A solid understanding of textile components (fibers, yarns, fabrics, and finishes), the interrelationships among these components, and their impact on product performance is necessary to fulfill day-to-day responsibilities in many careers in the textile, apparel, and furnishings industry.
		Although this chapter may not be assigned in a beginning textile course, students might read the chapter to explore career possibilities on their own and use the information when considering career options other than those that are most obvious to the consumer.

	OPTIMIZATION IN THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY
		Four elements of the problem are described: the manufacturing operations, the business operations, the planning process, and the technical constraints.
		Textile firms, like firms in other businesses, vary in their integration of operations.
		For example, until an operation is completely automated, the abilities and desires of the human operators must continue as factors in planning and running the operation, sometimes even more critical factors as the numbers are reduced and individual's schedules become significant.
