Textile

A textile is any of various fibre-based materials, including fibres, yarns, filaments, threads, and different types of fabric.

A sewing machine is a machine used to sew fabric and materials together with thread.

A loom is a device used to weave cloth and tapestry.

A knitting needle or knitting pin is a tool in hand-knitting to produce knitted fabrics.

A rotary cutter is a tool generally used by quilters to cut fabric.

Embroidery hoops and frames are tools used to keep fabric taut while working embroidery or other forms of needlework.

It is designed to hold the unspun fibers, keeping them untangled and thus easing the spinning process.

A temple is an adjustable stretcher used on a loom to maintain the width and improve the edges of the woven fabric.

It is used to transfer markings from sewing patterns onto fabric with or without the use of tracing paper, and can be used to make slotted perforations.

They are used, amongst other things, in hobby work for precise and clean cuts of paper, cardboard or textiles using a scalpel or rotary cutter.

A hook gauge also functions as a ruler to test the size of a test swatch of handmade fabric.

A punch needle is a manual tool used for embroidery or rug making that creates a field of tightly packed loops of thread or yarn on a woven fabric substrate.

A knitting machine is a device used to create knitted fabrics in a semi or fully automated fashion.

A stocking frame was a mechanical knitting machine used in the textiles industry.

A presser foot is an attachment used with sewing machines to hold fabric flat as it is fed through the machine and stitched.

Scissors are usually used for cutting thin materials such as paper, cardboard, metal foil, cloth, rope and wire, although a large variety of scissors/shears exist for specialized purposes, and their design details often dictate which is best for the intended job.

A power loom is a mechanized loom that automates the weaving of cloth through leveraging mechanical power.

It was a pivotal advancement in the mechanisation of weaving during the initial stages of the Industrial Revolution, and facilitated the weaving of considerably broader fabrics, enabling the production of wider textiles.

The machine was used to arrange and lay parallel by length the fibers of wool, prior to further treatment.

Heckling (or "hackling") is the last of three steps in dressing flax, or preparing the fibers to be spun.
