What are textiles?

Textiles are materials or fabrics. They are made of tiny fibers that can be man-made or come from nature, those fibers are then twisted into yarns, and the yarns are then woven or knit into a fabric.
When designing a high-quality fabric the first, and most arguably most important step, is fiber selection. You can try your hardest, but if you start out with bad fibers, you will never be able to create a superior textile.
We measure textiles by weight. There are two systems of measure - GSM and OZ/SQ YD. GSM, grams per square meter, measures how many grams a 1 meter by 1 meter square of fabric will weigh. OZ/SQ YD, ounces per square yard, measures how many ounces a 1 yard by 1 yard square of fabric will weigh.
Sometimes these units of measure can get confusing. And depending on the countries you work in you might need to convert them. But, don't worry that is easy. Use, our handy calculator! 

What is a fiber?

Now that we know what are textiles, we can dive into fibers. A fiber is a very thin, hair-like structure. Actually, your hair is technically a fiber. Fibers are so tiny that we measure them in microns. A micron is equal to one, one-thousandth of a millimeter (1/1,000). They are generally much, much, longer then they are wide. The differences in the fibers chemical composition and, molecular and physical structure, give a fiber its performance characteristics.
Fibers are usually twisted together to form yarns , and yarns are then woven or knit to form fabrics… But, we are getting ahead of ourselves.
