Garment dyeing / Tintado en prenda

We've been talking about garment dyeing, and this is the video illustrating the process.
Tintado en prenda: pelicula que ilustra el proceso.

Los acabados - Clasificación

Como clasificamos los acabados textiles. Según su técnica o según su finalidad.
Personalmente creo que para un diseñador es más practico utilizar esta segunda metodología.

Proximamente in english.

Finger knitting

La semana pasada descubrí que antes de las maquinas tricotosas, antes que se inventaran los telares, antes que se empezaran a utilizar las agujas para tejer, se hacía tricot CON LOS DEDOS!
Aquí hay un video que explica como. Parece ser que hay cursos, campeonatos, y hasta un record Guinness de velocidad con esta técnica...

Ligamentos - Weaves

I think these simple patterns can be useful for the classification of the three main weaves:

PLAIN WEAVE (tafetán-plana)

TWILL (sarga)

SATIN (4 by 1 in this case)

Materias primas

Como prometido, aquí va el esquema de la clasificación de las materias primas textiles mas comunes. 

Some dyeing techniques

• Batik: A resist-dyeing process in which portions of a
fabric are coated with wax.


• Tie-and-dye: tying portions of the fabric (or garment) will
avoid the color to penetrate

• Reserve dyeing: One component of a blend or
combination fabric is left undyed, by the use of dyes that
have affinity for the fiber to be colored but not for the
fiber to be reserved.

• Cross Dyeing: A method of dyeing blend or combination
fabrics to two or more shades by the use of dyes with
different affinities for the different fibers.
