Man-Made and Synthetic Fibres

You look at the fibres made in a factory rather than grown in a field. You see what the making route does to shrinkage, strength, and feel. You learn to read denier, filament count, and an elastane percentage off a tech pack, and what each fibre costs by the time it reaches FOB.

Course value

What will you be able to do?

Work outcome

You can read a yarn specification and say what it will do in the finished garment: hand, strength, pilling, shrinkage, and price. And you can challenge a fibre choice or a count on a tech pack before it reaches a cost sheet.

Who it is for

Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.

What you will produce

You reach a fibre decision you can defend. You trace one failed wash test back to the making route and price four fixes against the order margin. You read one synthetic yarn line filament by filament. And you check one recycled-content claim from scope certificate to transaction certificate.
