Cotton dominates the towel and towelings amrket. What features account for this usage?
soft hand, high absorbancy, fast drying, and wickability
Terry toweling, which is also known as Turkish toweling, is manufactured by which one of the following techniques?
slack tension technique
Terry velour toweling has terry loops on one side. What distinguishes the other side?
sheared loops, high pile density, relatively low absorption
Looms are available for doing multiwidth weaving of toweling. What features identifies the advantages of this technique?
efficient and economical
Evaluations of the ability of toweling to absorb water may be measured in accordance to the procedures outlined in ASTM D 4772. What is the procedure?
The toweling is held taut at an angle of 60 degrees; 50 milliliters of water are allowed to flow onto the surface; the difference between the oroginal 50 milliliters of water and the number of milliliters of water in the runoff pan give the quantity of water absorbed.
Bath rugs and bath mats are subjected to the provision of 16 CFR 1631 Standard for the Surface Flammability of Small Carpets and Rugs. What is correct with respect to this standard?
Products that fail to conform with the acceptance criteria may be marketed but must carry a cautionary label
bleeding
Colorfastness problem encountered when water or cleaning agents causse dyestuffs to flow into the laundry solutionor onto other parts of an item.
bow
Distorted yarn alignment in woven fabric; filling yarns curve below straight crosswise grain.
char length
The distance of fabric damage produced by flame in standard flammability test methods.
crash
A plain-woven fabric composed of coarse, irregular yarns spun from linen; used in distowels for the lint-free drying of glassware.
crocking
Transfer of dyestuff as a result of rubbing.
dimensional stability
Ability of a textile to maintain size and shape after wear and care, especially after laundering.
Fade-Ometer
Apparatus used ine valuations of colorfastness to light.
gauge
Indicates the thickness of polymer film sheeting
huckaback
Toweling woven on a dobby loom; has small filling for increased absorption
Launder-Ometer
Apparatus used in evaluations of washfastness.
shade change

staining
Result of bleeding
wickability
Ability to move moisture along the fiber surface by capillary action
Staple spun yarns are used much more extensively than filament yarns in bedding products. Which features account for this usage?

a. hollow fibers, fiberfill that is bulky without undue weight
In today's sheetings market, the fiber composition of a "reverse blend" is

Noncellulosic fibers have now captured some 41% of the blanketing market. This has largely been at the expense of what?
rayon, acetate, and wool
Which method of cleaning soiled electric blankets must be used?
laundering
backfilled
Application of sizing to fabrics having relatively low fabric counts; increases fabric weight but not quality

pinsonic melding
Simulated quilting in which a wide cylinder with raised designs is rolled over the multilayer structure while heat and sound waves seal the layers
sheet casings
Coverings that protect comforters and duvets from soil accumualtion and abrasion; their releasable closures permit their easy removal for laundering.
slabs
Three-dimensional structures composed of synthesized rubber or foamed polyurethane, used as filling for pillows, mattresses, and quilts
ticking
Generic name of fabric used as the exterior covering of mattresses; also the fabric name fo a twill-woven fabrfic having lengthwise blue or black stripes.
trapunto quilting
Has quilting stitches placed around a single motif in a pattern repeat; the interior of the quilted shape is then filled by inserting batting material through tiny slits cut in the backing fabric
