Notes
Yarn Characterization
Understanding how fiber, count, twist, ply, structure, and other yarn variables influence textile behavior.
Read note →Quantifying Comfort
Exploring how subjective textile comfort can be translated into measurable physical properties.
Read note →Defining Durability
Looking at the different ways textiles fail, how durability is measured, and what those tests actually tell us.
Read note →Untangling Functional Fibers, E-Textiles, and Wearables
Clarifying the differences between performance fibers, conductive textiles, electronic textiles, and wearable systems.
Read note →Textile Stretch Simulator
Drag a yarn-level swatch and watch knit loops open or woven threads shift as fabric type, spandex, stitch density and yarn elasticity change.
Open simulator →Conductive Trace Resistance
Stretch a printed, laminated or conductive-yarn trace and watch the electrons, the path and the resistance respond in real time.
Open simulator →Color Change
Eight colour-change mechanisms, from thermochromic ink to a chameleon’s crystal lattice, animated at the level where the change happens and grouped by principle.
Open field note →Textile 101
The foundation for performance materials — fibers, yarns, and the structures they become. Groundwork for the rest of the field notes.
