What is the thickest fabric?

There is no one answer for this question. "Fabric" comes in all compositions and weaves from vinyls or leathers and skins, to silks, cottons, wools, and hundreds of synthetics. Any of them can be woven or processed to any thickness.


What are the physical properties of fabric?

Physical properties of wool are the following; it is resistant to dirt and wear and tear, does not wrinkle easily, lightweight and versatile, smolders over flame instead of burning, hard wearing and absorbs moisture.


Difference between woven cotton and twill?

Woven cotton is exactly as it sounds. It is cotton that is woven and as such, has a flat 'finish' to it. Twill is made in such away that there are ridges, similar to corduroy, only usually much smaller. Also, the ridges run diagonal to the selvage, instead of parallel as it is in corduroy. If you were to compare quilting weight cotton, which is woven, with a twill cotton suitable for apparel, the twill usually will seem a bit sturdier. When I make purses from cotton fabric, I use quilting weight for the majority of the bag, but twill for the handles and the bottom of the bag, because I feel it has better strength.


How does a spinning wheel spin cotton into fabric?

It doesn't ! The spinning wheel turns raw wool fibres into cotton yarn. The person operating it does all the work. The spinning wheel simply provides a mechanism to twist the teased wool fibres into yarn as the operator 'feeds' it. Cotton yarn is woven into fabric on a loom.


How is cotton woven into a fabric?

Well here's the beginning: the cotton is harvested and then goes through a process of cleaning, blending, and carding (and other steps) to remove debris and to orient fibers. Then the cotton is made into slivers based on a grade. Slivers are then spun using different spinning methods such as open end spinning or ring spinning and they are spun onto bobbins. From there the yarn is then woven or knitted into a fabric. There are different types of wovens such as plain weave, twill weave, rib weave, satin etc.
