The edge of a textile product rubs against another force: flex abrasion: shoe bends at corners, wears out. Can also cause pilling- fibres coming out of the fabric. Flexibility: the ability to bend rapeditatly without breaking. Cohesiveness: ability of the fibres to cling together, resist, kapok- natural celluloses fibre, harvested from the kapok plant, hallow body and seal tail, doesn"t stick together like cotton, cotton- highly cohesive, What is comfort: how a textile product effects heat, air and moisture transfer, and the way the body interacts with the textile product, know their comfortable when don"t think about it.
