FFD 200

This course is a continuation of the concepts introduced in FSN 101, Textiles I. Emphasis is placed on the interrelationship of fibres, yarns, fabrics and finishes in defining the durability, comfort, care and serviceability of textiles. Processes ranging from traditional methods of manufacture to innovations in the production of high technology materials are discussed. Laboratory work involves applying these concepts to the fabrics used in apparel design courses. Students are required to compile a dictionary of standard fabrics.
