What is B. Carpet?
Carpet = soft floor covering

Decorative Fabric/Interior Product Categories: 5 total
Window and wall coverings (ex. draperies, wall hangings, and potentially carpet when vertically used)
Bedroom (ex. blankets = needle punched (hospital/hotel), tufted (brushed on both sides), knitted (raschel/thermal), and flocked (foam center))
Bath (ex. bath mat = small/absorbent and bath rug = decorative/larger)
Kitchen and Tabletop (ex. linens or napery)

200
The ___________ a fabric is, the better yield it produces at a production level
A. More compactly knit or woven
B. Wider
C. More on-trend
D. Longer
What is C. Wider?

standard widths for apparel:
36", 45", and 60" (can be expressed in one or two numbers due to measuring differences)
200
True or False: A garment is often worn until it is no longer functional
What is false?

garment life tends to be longer than expected wear (especially for one person) and should maintain a reasonably good appearance throughout the expected wear period (relates to durability/serviceability)

Undesirable elements: signs of wear, fading, shrinking, or stretching out of shape
300
Between bonded and laminated fabric constructions, __________________ fabrics maintain the middle/foam layer throughout the construction process
What is laminated?

Bonded = created using wet adhesive or foam-flame bonding processes and is always 3 layers
Laminated = created using hot-melt method and can be 2 or 3 layers
300
Most animals have two types of fur: __________ hair, the outer layer, and ____________ hair, the inner layer.
What is guard; duvet (or fur hair)?
300
______________ are sheer, lightweight window fabrics without a lining whereas ____________ are heavy opaque fabrics that are lined
What is curtain, drapery?
casement = translucent/semi-sheer window fabric that is of a medium weight

Best resistance to sunlight degradation: glass, polyester, and acrylic
Allows maximum light and ventilation: sheer woven

Purpose of window coverings: noise reduction, privacy, concealment/coverage, aesthetic changes, eliminated/reduced glare, and insulation
300

A. Seams
B. Arm rests
C. Cushions/seats
D. Corners
What is D. Corners?

heavy duty use = used constantly/numerous hours daily (ex. main couch)

What is bow; skew?

400
Carpet performance is evaluated based on these three factors:
A. Fiber content, pile density, and pile height
B. Durability, serviceability, and suitability
C. Fabric construction, fiber content, and colorfastness
D. Abrasion resistance, pilling propensity, and static build-up
What is A. Fiber content, pile density, and pile height?
400
____________, _________________, and twill weaves tend to have a high tearing strength because their yarns have the ability to shift and move easily
What is knits, satin weaves?

plain weave = low tearing strength (ex. muslin)
500
Spunlaid refers to the following nonwoven manufacturing system described below:
A. Fibers manipulated while in a dry state using carded or airlaid processes to be positioned
B. Continuous extrusion of filaments into a web
C. Thermoplastic fibers blown onto a surface as they are extruded
D. Entanglement of staple fibers using high-pressure water jets
What is C - Thermoplastic fibers blown onto a surface as they are extruded?

Additional Nonwoven Manufacturing Systems:
Drylaid = Option A
Wetlaid = Fibers manipulated while in a wet state
