...Chikankari Chikan (Hindi: चिकन, Urdu: چکن) is a traditional embroidery style from Lucknow, India. Literally translated, the word means embroidery. Believed to have been introduced by Nur Jehan, Mughal emperor Jahangir's wife,[1] it is one of Lucknow's most famous textile decoration styles. There are several theories about the origin of Chikankari. Chikankari - the process of chikan - was basically invented in Lucknow. It developed quickly during the period when the Mughals ruled and consisted of styles inspired by Persians. Lucknow grew into an international market for its renowned Chikankari work. There are references to Indian Chikan work as early as 3rd century BC by Megasthenes, who mentioned the use of flowered muslins by Indians. There is also a tale that mentions how a traveler taught Chikankari to a peasant in return of water to drink. However, the Noor Jahan story is the most popular of the lot.[2] The name Chikan has been derived from the Persian word Chakin or Chikeen meaning a cloth wrought with needlework Chikan began as a type of white-on-white (or whitework) embroidery. Chikankari is a delicate and artfully done hand embroidery on a variety of textile fabric like muslin, silk, chiffon, organza, net etc. White thread is embroidered on cool, pastel shades of light muslin and cotton garments. Nowadays chikan embroidery is also done with coloured and silk threads in different colours to meet the recent fashion trends and keep chikankari up-to-date. Lucknow is...

...Textile “Fabric” redirects here. For other uses, see Fabric (disambiguation) and Textile (disambiguation). A textile[1] or cloth[2] is a flexible material consist- A small fabric shop in canal town Al-Mukalla, Yemen Sunday textile market on the sidewalks of Karachi, Pakistan Simple textile (magnified) Late antique textile, Egyptian, now in the Dumbarton Oaks col- ing of a network of natural or artificial fibres (yarn or lection thread). Yarn is produced by spinning raw fibres of wool, flax, cotton, or other material to produce long strands.[3] used for a specific purpose (e.g., table cloth). Textiles are formed by weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting, or felting. The words fabric and cloth are used in textile assembly trades (such as tailoring and dressmaking) as synonyms for textile. However, there are subtle differences in these terms in specialized usage. Textile refers to any material made of interlacing fibres. Fabric refers to any material made through weaving, knitting, spreading, crocheting, or bonding that may be used in production of further goods (garments, etc.). Cloth may be used synonymously with fabric but often refers to a finished piece of fabric 1 Etymology The word 'textile' is from Latin, from the adjective textilis, meaning 'woven', from textus, the past participle of the verb texere, 'to weave'.[4] The word 'fabric' also derives from Latin, most recently from the Middle French fabrique, or 'building, thing made', and earlier as...

...blue) warp and white filling threads; it is also woven in colored stripes. The name is said to have originated in French serge de Nimes. The word comes from the name of a sturdy fabric called serge. Denim was originally called serge de Nimes, it was then soon shortened to Denim. Denim is yard-dyed and mill-finished and is usually all-cotton, although considerable quantities are of a cotton-synthetic fiber mixture. Decades of use in the clothing industry, especially in manufacture of overalls and trousers were worn for heavy labour such as construction workers and electrical workers. Denim has demonstrated denim’s durability. This quality also made denim serviceable for leisurewear in the late 20th Century. Denim is a rugged cotton twill textile, in which the weft passes under two or more warp fibers. This produces the familiar diagonal ribbing identifiable on the reverse of the fabric, which distinguishes denim from cotton duck. It is a twill-weave woven fabric that uses different colors for the warp and weft. One color is predominant on the fabric surface. Because of this twill weave, it means the fabric is very strong. I believe Denim is the most amazing fabric out there it’s versatile, it’s tough, its durable,, its easy to work with, its fashionable, its warm I mean I can go one with how great denim is. I mean everyone owns denim. Once before it was only worn by workers and it was popular because of the durability and tough texture. In1800’s American gold miners wanted...

...CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study A table cloth is a piece of material designed to spread on a dinning table before laying out tableware and food. Some are mainly ornamental coverings which may also help protect the table from scratches and stains. It can be any other material used for covering the table. Table cloths are among some of the items that contribute to the decoration of an interior. They are always carefully selected to suit that interior in which they are put and the designs to enhance the beauty of a particular interior. Table cloths at a greater extent are used mainly in homes, churches, hospitals, hotels and restaurants among others. In such places where people go to relax, an effort has always been made to make these places comfortable, colourful, attractive and beautiful. Most of the hostels have table cloths that are imported into the country. The designs are derived from items or inspirations that do not relate to food stuffs Below are photographs of some of the exiting hotel table cloths. Uganda is endowed with a lot of natural food stuff that can be used as inspiration to derive designs and choose colours for hotel table cloths. This may enhance the beauty of the table cloths and may create an environment conductive for customers. It is also noted that artists in Uganda have not been involved in the art of decorating table cloths for hotels yet it is an area that offers a wide range of...

...Economic Study on Textile Industry A REPORT on Indian Textile Industry Indian Textile Industry The textile industry is the largest industry of modern India. It accounts for over 20 percent of industrial production and is closely linked with the agricultural and rural economy. It is the single largest employer in the industrial sector employing about 38 million people. If employment in allied sectors likes ginning, agriculture, pressing, cotton trade, jute, etc. are added then the total employment is estimated at 93 million. The net foreign exchange earnings in this sector are one of the highest and, together with carpet and handicrafts, account for over 37 percent of total export earnings at over US $ 10 billion. Textiles, alone, account for about 25 percent of India’s total forex earnings. India’s textile industry since its beginning continues to be predominantly cotton based with about 65 percent of fabric consumption in the country being accounted for by cotton. The industry is highly localized in Ahmedabad and Bombay in the western part of the country though other centers exist including Kanpur, Calcutta, Indore, Coimbatore, and Sholapur.

...middleman business between textile companies, we aim to help connect buyers and sellers of surplus or waste materials used in manufacturing their product. We would do this by first looking to get large manufacturing companies since they are most likely to have excess raw material stock. At first we would look to deal with mainly the textile industry and then would look to expand to various other materials thus expanding the scope of our target market. The objective of my company would be to help textile manufacturing companies find suitable buyers and sellers for surplus or waste textile materials. These supplies are just left in storage, disposed of, or the enterprises must themselves go out to find suitable purchasers. Instead of these manufacturers actually spending any of their time or resources, we would be helping them find buyers. The term for this sort of market is “Industrial Symbiosis”. What this means is an association between two or more industrial facilities or companies in which the wastes or by-products of one become the raw materials for another (Wrap.org.uk, 2015). The potential market we would be looking at is secondary sector companies in the textile industry in the UK. We would like to start off with small textile manufactures; hence they would be looking to buy the raw materials for cheap in order to cut down costs and would not want to spend their time and resources looking for a cheaper way to purchase the textiles.

...This story today is called "A Pair of Silk Stockings." It was written by Kate Chopin Little Mrs. Sommers suddenly acquires fifteen dollars, which seems like a large amount to her. Feeling important and wealthy, she considers how to invest her money, feeling that she must carefully spend the money. During the night, she thinks of a sensible use for the money. She determines that she should spend a dollar or two extra for Janie's shoes, so that they will last longer and be of better quality, and she plans to buy some fabric for her children's clothing. After that, she will still have enough money for new stockings and hats for everyone, which pleases her because her children will have new clothing for the first time in a while. Mrs. Sommers used to have more money long ago, before her marriage, but she does not worry about the past or the future, focusing mostly on the present. Mrs. Sommers is used to cheap purchase, but today she is tired and forgets to eat lunch. While sitting on a stool to rest before her shopping, she realizes that her hand has brushed against a pair of two-dollar silk stockings. She continues to feel the splendid fabric and asks the shop girl for a pair in her size.
