High-quality, beautiful and fashionable fabric is the key to the success of every garment. Different types of fabrics are easily created due to some features of the feedstock and a variety of weaving weaves that determine their structure, properties, appearance. What are the names of fabrics and their characteristics, as well as properties? All this will be discussed in this article.
