    Natural fibres require longer drying times because they are?

    • Adsorbent

    • Hydrophyllic

    • Moisture resistant

    • Absorbent

    • Tufted

    Correct Answer
    A. Absorbent
    Explanation
    Natural fibers require longer drying times because they are absorbent. This means that they have the ability to soak up and retain moisture. When these fibers get wet, they absorb the water, which then needs to evaporate for the fibers to dry. This process takes longer compared to fibers that are not absorbent.

    When we twist two or more yarns together it is called?

    • Braided

    • Twisted

    • Married

    • Plied

    • Crimped

    Correct Answer
    A. Plied
    Explanation
    When we twist two or more yarns together, it is called "plied." Plying is a process in which multiple strands of yarn are twisted together to create a stronger and more durable yarn. This twisting action helps to secure the individual yarns together, preventing them from unraveling and creating a cohesive and stable yarn. Plied yarns are commonly used in knitting and weaving projects to create a more sturdy and resilient fabric.

    • Bonding

    • Heat setting

    • Latex gluing

    • Backing

    • Wet spinning

    Correct Answer
    A. Heat setting
    Explanation
    Heat setting is the process used to lock in crimp and twist. It involves subjecting the fibers or yarns to high temperatures, causing them to undergo a permanent change in their structure. This helps to stabilize the crimp and twist, ensuring that they remain in place and do not unravel or flatten during subsequent use or processing. Heat setting is commonly used in the textile industry to improve the dimensional stability and appearance of fabrics and yarns.
