& (Continued from last week) If you like novelty weaves, you may have to pay for it in poor wearing quality. Learn to recogâ€" nize the main types. There are threeâ€"plain, twill and satin. > E A plain weave produces a fabric with the greatest breaking strength. A loose, plain weave, however, may result in a sleazy cloth. twill weave does not have the breaking strength of the <plain but it: has gregter tearing and > pping strength. It soils less easily but is more difficult to launder. _ You will find it â€"especially good for heavy skirtings and children‘s play clothes, The satin weave makes a material thit is not only durable but beauâ€" tiful, with a smooth, lustrous surâ€" face. If the unbound yarns in this weave are very long, however, there is danger of their being caught and torn. . «$ PAGE SIX Here are a few of the common: weaknesses in construction of eotm“ ton fabrics you may run across: (a) very fine yarns over very heavy. onesâ€"these soon wear through; (b) long yarns, or floats, over too many yarn-â€"-thsy‘ * ily caught and=torn; , (¢c patten made by bleaching out portions 0 a dark backgroundâ€"that often reé sults in weakened places whic quickly wear through; (d) designs; produced by weaving : in â€" shot lenghts of yarn free at bo_t.h. em!f ~"Tensile strength" is another test of wearing quality, The average consumer can‘t measure this. 1t requires special instruments which record the number of pounds reâ€" quired to break a piece of fabric, Probably the merchant doesn‘t know the ténsile strength either, but it is information that can be made available and will be madeâ€"availâ€" able if consumers ask for it. s Sizing is important. This is the starch or other material used to give the fabric a smooth . finish. A Jittle is necessary in weaving but it is not necessary on bleached fabâ€" riecs. *"Pure finish" on a sheet rmeans the minimum amount of sizâ€" ing. has been used. Rub the mateâ€" rial between your hands and see if the sizing comes out. A â€"â€"this may 80 to look shabby Ask about the thread countâ€"that is, th: number of threads per inch: lengthwise (warp) and crouv% (filling). Low thread count is ofâ€" ten the reason behind low price and short wear. ‘Don‘t get mixed up on "sizing" and "mercerizing." Mercerization is a process, named many years ago after its discoverer, John Mercer, for giving a glossier finish to cotâ€" ton fabrics. It adds not only to the attractiveness but to the durability of the material. ! C There are over a hundred differâ€" ent ways of finishing a cotton fabâ€" ric. Dyeing is one of the importâ€" ant finishing processes. No dye yet discovered will remain permanently "fast" under all conditions. Vat dyes are best for cotton goods but When you are told a fabric is "Color Fast," find out what it is fast againstâ€"soap, or boiling, or sundight, or perspiration, or uric acid, or what. f Not all ¢olored cotton materials are dyed. Some are printed, You can usuall identify the fabric that is printed in the piece by noticing that the back is not as well dyed ‘ms the top side. In general, dyed fabrics keep their good looks much longéer than printed ones, though that may vary with the quality of the dye used. f Read every label on a cotton fabâ€" rit or garment carefully. You‘ll find many more labels nowadays than you used to. : Read them disâ€" criminately. If they fail to give you all the information you need, ask the clerk. € Finally, if it ‘is a cotton garâ€" ment you are buying, examine it earefully for these points: (a) style suited to your needs; (b) all .
