Introduction To Textile Types Uses and Care
Lesson Plan Presentation: Introduction to Textile Study
Class : JSS 2
Topic: Introduction to Textile Study: Definition of Basic Textile Terms
Duration: 45 minutes
Objective: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to define and understand basic textile terms such as fibre, yarn, fabric, warp, weft, and textile.
Materials:
- Whiteboard or blackboard
- Markers or chalk
- Visual aids (pictures or samples of different fibres, yarns, fabrics, and textiles)
- Printed handouts of the multiple-choice questions
Content
- Fibre: A fibre is a thin, thread-like material that can be spun into a yarn or woven into a fabric. Examples of fibres include cotton, wool, silk, and synthetic fibres like polyester and nylon.
- Yarn: Yarn is made by twisting or spinning fibres together. It is a continuous strand of fibres used for knitting, weaving, or sewing. Yarn can be thick or thin, and it comes in various colors and textures.
- Fabric: Fabric is a flexible material made by weaving or knitting yarns together. It is what we use to make our clothes, bedsheets, and curtains. Fabrics can have different properties such as being soft, stretchy, or durable.
- Warp: In weaving, the warp refers to the set of yarns that are stretched vertically on a loom. These yarns provide the foundation for the fabric and run parallel to each other.
- Weft: The weft, also known as filling or woof, is the set of yarns that are woven horizontally over and under the warp yarns. The weft yarns interlace with the warp to create the fabric.
- Textile: Textile refers to any material made from fibres or a combination of fibres, including fabrics, yarns, and even non-woven materials like felt. Textiles can be natural, synthetic, or a blend of both.
- Dyeing: Dyeing is the process of adding color to textiles. Fabrics can be dyed using various methods and dyes to achieve different shades and patterns.
- Printing: Textile printing involves adding designs or patterns to fabrics using special inks or dyes. This process allows for intricate designs and colorful patterns to be applied to fabrics.
- Knitting: Knitting is a method of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn using knitting needles or a knitting machine. It results in a flexible and stretchy fabric.
- Weaving: Weaving is the process of interlacing the warp and weft yarns to create a fabric. It can be done on a loom manually or with the help of machines.
These are some of the basic terms you will encounter as you explore the world of textiles. Remember, textiles play an essential role in our everyday lives, and understanding these terms will help you appreciate the clothes you wear and the fabrics around you. Keep learning and exploring, and we’ll delve deeper into the wonderful world of textiles in our upcoming lessons

Lesson Plan Presentation
Introduction (5 minutes):
- Greet the students and introduce the topic of the lesson: Introduction to Textile Study.
- Explain that textiles are materials used for making various things like clothes, bags, and furniture.
- Share the objective of the lesson: to understand and define basic textile terms
Body:
- Fibre (5 minutes): a. Begin with the term “fibre” and ask students if they know what it means. b. Define fibre as a thin, thread-like material that can be spun into yarn. c. Show visual aids of different fibres (cotton, wool, silk, polyester) to help students visualize. d. Give examples of how fibres are used in everyday life, such as cotton for t-shirts or wool for sweaters.
- Yarn (5 minutes): a. Introduce the term “yarn” and ask students if they are familiar with it. b. Define yarn as a continuous strand of fibres used for knitting, weaving, or sewing. c. Show samples of different types of yarn, explaining their textures and colors. d. Discuss how yarn is used to make various items like scarves, blankets, or socks.
- Fabric (10 minutes): a. Explain that fabric is made by weaving or knitting yarns together. b. Define fabric as a flexible material made by weaving or knitting yarns together. c. Show examples of different fabrics, discussing their properties like softness, stretchiness, or durability. d. Mention common fabrics like cotton, polyester, and silk and their uses in clothing and home textiles.
- Warp and Weft (10 minutes): a. Introduce the terms “warp” and “weft.” b. Explain that warp refers to the set of yarns stretched vertically on a loom, while weft refers to the yarns woven horizontally over and under the warp. c. Use diagrams or illustrations to show how warp and weft interact to create a fabric. d. Emphasize the importance of both warp and weft in the weaving process.
- Textile (5 minutes): a. Define textile as any material made from fibres or a combination of fibres, including fabrics, yarns, and non-woven materials like felt. b. Discuss the wide range of textile applications, such as clothing, home furnishings, and industrial materials. c. Show examples of different textiles, highlighting their diverse uses and characteristics
Conclusion (5 minutes):
- Recap the key points discussed in the lesson, including the definitions of fibre, yarn, fabric, warp, weft, and textile.
- Distribute printed handouts with the multiple-choice questions prepared earlier.
- Allow students some time to complete the questions independently.
- Review the answers together as a class, providing explanations and further clarification as needed.
- Encourage students to ask any remaining questions or seek clarification on the topic
Assessment:
The assessment will be based on students’ participation during class discussions, their ability to answer the multiple-choice questions correctly, and their understanding demonstrated through their engagement in the lesson
