When exposed to heat, moisture and agitation causes shingles to lift away from fiber and link to each other. Thousands of filament fibers formed to make thick rope. Cut into staple length or used as a filament fiber. Manufactured fibers of crimped and then heat set (to maintain) More crimp, more bulk, more volume, more stretch, more warmth. Yarn size (in grams) per 1,000m of yarn. Has desired serviceability characteristics, appeals to target market. How fabric hangs or lays over 3d form. Surface contour, type of yarn used (loosely or tightly twisted) Influenced by yarn structure, fabric finish, fabric structure. Affects luster, hand, amount fabric will be soiled. Ability for fiber to return to originally shape after bending, twisting, compressing.
