FABRIC APPRECIATION TRAINING

DS Textile Solutions has developed a range of Fabric Appreciation Workshops that cover various aspects of Fabric Manufacture. Each workshop is made up from several different modules that can be chosen as required. 

Introductory workshops can be run for a duration of 3 1/2 hours - or more advanced courses for a duration of 6 hours. Workshops are intended for a maximum of 8 to 10 delegates at a time and are held at your own location.

The workshops are relevant to anyone at any level involved in buying - e.g. buyers; merchandisers; garment technologists; designers. In addition workshops can be targeted at e-commerce / sales teams that would benefit from understanding key fabric properties and how these relate to customer benefits.

Workshops can either be held for single disciplines (e.g. all buyers together) or for mixed discipline that are members of the same buying team.

All workshops are interactive and use plenty of samples to illustrate key learning points. 

Standard modules include:

• Fibre origins and properties

• Yarn Spinning - understanding yarn count systems

• Woven Fabric manufacture - including analysis of different woven constructions

• Weft Knitted Fabric Manufacture - including analysis of different weft knit constructions

• Understanding Fabric Specifications and Fabric Technical Data Sheets

• Dyeing and Finishing

• Fabric Testing and interpreting / understanding test reports.

In addition to these standard modules DS Textile Solutions can offer a more bespoke service whereby courses can be adapted to include specific core fabric constructions relevant to the company / department at a slightly increased fee.
