The textiles are made by various means, such as
hand-woven, printing method and mass factory producing and the fibers
used also vary according to the preference, cotton, silk, rayon,
nylon or polyester. The traditionally hand-woven garment is usually
made of cotton fibers, which vary from the size. It also uses normally
natural color while printed and mass produced garment use the chemical
textile color. The different method of making, treatment and sort
of material determine the prices of the garment. Therefore, for
the same pattern of garment you choose you can get different prices.

Woven fabrics
are made of two sets of yarns - a lengthwise set called the
warp and a crosswise set called the filling or weft. The warp yarns
are threaded into a loom through a series of frames called harnesses.
During the cloth-making process, the harnesses raise some warp yarns
and lower others. This action creates a space, or shed, between
the yarns. A device called a shuttle carries the filling through
the shed and so forms the crosswise yarns of the fabric. The pattern
in which the harnesses are raised and lowered for each pass of the
shuttle determines the kind of weave.

Knitted fabrics
are
made from a single yarn or a set of yarns. In making cloth, a
knitting machine forms loops in the yarn and links them to one
another by means of needles. The finished fabric consists of crosswise
rows of loops, called courses, and lengthwise rows of loops, called
wales. This looped structure makes knitted fabrics more elastic
than woven cloth. Garment manufacturers use knitted fabrics in
producing comfortable, lightweight clothing that resists wrinkling.
Other
fabrics include tufted fabrics, nets and laces, braids, and felt.
None of these fabrics is woven or knitted. However, the textile
industry produces another class of fabrics specifically called
non-woven fabrics.
