A fabric or, in more popular language, fabric is a textile material. A fabric is the gender obtained in the form of more or less resistant, elastic and flexible sheet, by cross-linking and linking of string or fibre series in a consistent way by intertwining or by uniting them by other means.

A tissue can be the result of many things:
"weaving 'or intertwining two different threads, filaments or fibres (natural, artificial or synthetic): a longitudinal, called a warp and a transverse, called a plot. They're the" broth tissues. "
a series of lacquers forming a mesh or network (called "knitted or crocheted fabrics," "knitted or" tripped "). Some are made up of a single thread that links with itself, such as the point-by-plot genre, crochet, etc., while others are made up of a series of threads, such as the point-by-warp genre, some lace, etc.
a cross of two or more series of warp threads, without a plot, like certain tules.

The industry that makes fabrics from threads is generally called weaving. There is a wide variety of genera made from mixed fibres - a combination of natural, artificial or synthetic fibres - and each of them behaves differently.

The tissues are classified according to their structure.

Origin
The tissues arise from the human need to protect themselves from cold, rain, and other climate effects. In the neolithic we began to yarn the flax for the summer, and the wool for the winter, - the spindle and the loom are inventions of the neolithic. In ancient China, silk fabrics were made already around the year The Egyptians also managed to obtain fine linen and cotton fabrics. In Mexico, the indigenous people made their fabrics of cotton and of fibres removed and treated from the magey.

The expression of the sense of the thread refers to the sense in which the thread of the warp runs on the fabric. The line of direction of the thread indicates the position in which the patterns should be aligned in relation to the ring of the fabric.

Structure

The tissues can be made with different structures:
Flat fabrics, also called "warp and plot" which are divided into three types or "ligaments" (by the interlacing of the plot with the warp):
Tafetan: the plot passes alternately over and below each thread or set of threads in which the warp is divided, as a simple grating. Examples: gunshot, chintz, voile, muslin, organdi, vichy...
Sarge: the warp is divided into short series of threads (three, four or five), of which only one covers the plot in the first pass and the next thread in the second pass, etc. It's a "thorn" tissue. Examples, Chinese, denim, tweed, rooster's foot, gabardina...
Satin or satin: the warp threads are divided into larger series than for the sarge (from five to eight series). Of these threads, each one covers only the plot in the first pass; in the next, the third one jumping one and
