Internationally renowned textile artists and tutors


The PSG is a diverse group of well-qualified, nationally and internationally renowned textile artists and tutors, who have established a reputation for excellence. Its members are well known for their ability to impart enthusiasm and expertise in working with fabric and thread and for exciting approaches to the practice of art and design in relation to textiles.Glove Drawer - 5 ages

Over the last 25 years, PSG members have been in the vanguard of textile and embroidery education, often in association with City and Guilds and the Embroiderers' Guild. Some members are actively involved in the Embroiderers' Guild's access and learning programme and activities for Young Embroiderers, whilst others teach in colleges of further, higher or adult education, or in schools. Individually, PSG members have published numerous books and magazine articles and exhibit their work at prestigious venues both internationally and nationally. To sustain the development of their professional practice, every member attends annual PSG weekend courses, and presents their work for critical appraisal every five years. The group interaction during these courses and the critical appraisals provide both the support and the challenges necessary to sustain lively, dynamic work.

manmade fibers reduced to offset impact of surging rupee

The government on Thursday announced cuts in customs duty on manmade fibers as part of measures to help exporters tide over the rising in the rupee, which has risen over 12% since beginning of the year.The government also eased some credit terms for leather and textile exporters, finance minister P Chidambaram said in the lower house of parliament on Thursday, while closing a debate on the supplementary demand for grants. The rupee’s gain has eroded the earnings of exporters.

“The sharp appreciation of the rupee over the last several months has put pressure on the export sectors, particularly those with low import intensity such as leather, textiles, handicrafts and marine products,’’ Chidambaram said.” Trade minister Kamal Nath said in New Delhi on Thursday that he expects the measures to help the textile industry and that more measures were being considered to help exporters.

He reiterated that there would be no change in the government’s $160 billion export target for the fiscal year to March 31, 2008. “Obviously, there is much more that the textile sector wanted,” Nath said, when asked if he favoured relief measures for sectors hit by the rupee’s gains in addition to the ones outlined earlier by the finance minister.

“We have moved a cabinet note on that,” he said, but did not elaborate. The finance minister announced in parliament on Thursday a series of measures to ease the pain of some exporters. Customs duty on manmade fibers is being reduced to 5% from 10% and for polyester filament yarn and polyester staple fiber it will be lowered to 5 percent from 7.5%, Chidambaram said.

The government has come out with a number of tax breaks to exporters for the second time this year to help industries such as jute, cashew nuts and coffee protect earnings from the rupee’s appreciation against the dollar. “The rupee’s rise has a “positive side’’ in terms of lower production costs in industries that obtain their raw materials overseas,” Chidambaram said. It also leads to reduced import bills and a cut in the cost of servicing external debt.

New EA-18G Airborne Electronic Attack Aircraft Overview

The new airplane built for a great purpose of electronic attack. Greater payload facility,improved weapon quality, swift flying ability,extra ordinary targeting system and more comprehensive looking made this new super air attack machine more and more exclusive.

EA-18G (Neg#: msf06-1598-36a)

EA-18G Capabilities:

Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses: The EA-18G will counter enemy air defenses using both reactive and pre-emptive jamming techniques.

Stand-off and Escort Jamming: The EA-18G will be highly effective in the traditional stand-off jamming mission, but with the speed and agility of a Super Hornet, it will also be effective in the escort role.

Non-Traditional Electronic Attack: Dramatically enhanced situational awareness and uninterrupted communications will enable the EA-18G to achieve a higher degree of integration with ground operations than has been previously achievable.

Self-protect and Time-Critical Strike Support: With its Advanced Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, digital data links and air-to-air missiles, the EA-18G will have self-protection capability and will also be effective for target identification and prosecution.

Growth: High commonality with the F/A-18E/F, nine available weapon stations and modern avionics enable cost-effective synergistic growth for both aircraft, setting the stage for continuous capability enhancement.

One of the external visual characteristics is the wingtip air-to-air missiles on the F/A-18 Super Hornet are normally replaced by wideband receiver pods on the EA-18 Growler and the other hardpoints carry a mix of electronic warfare pods and weapons.

The aircraft construction includes a light alloy multispar wing and high-strength graphite and epoxy panels and doors. The major contractor Northrop Grumman manufactures the rear and centre fuselage sections and EADS CASA is responsible for the manufacture of structural components such as the fuselage rear side panels, horizontal tail surfaces, flaps, the leading edge extensions, the rudders and the speed brakes.

The study of textiles

The study of the techniques and production of textiles has been largely ignored by the archaeological community until quite recently. There still remains a vast field of problems, both with regard to the way in which different textiles were made, and to the material and tools used in the process. In spite of the importance of textiles to the general household, farmers and townsmen, trade, and past and present economy, there is an extraordinary lack of general information concerning historical and economic matters in this field. This is especially the case with regard to early history.

The scarceness of information on this subject is partly due to the lack of sources. Although textiles are a very important part of everyday life they are extremely perishable compared to such items as bronze axes or gold torcs. The material which the archaeologist is able to exhume is greatly dependent upon climate, soil and the details of deposition. In Europe really well preserved textiles are the exception rather than the rule; this is in contrast to the treasures from the graves of Egypt and the Near East. Nevertheless the early history of textiles in Europe does have some highlights including the well preserved textiles and clothing from the oak coffins of the Danish Bronze age. In this chapter I will discuss the evidence we have for early textile production starting with methods and materials. I feel this is important to provide a sufficient background to the theory that fulachta fiadh were used as centres for textile production.

The history of material

‘Textile’ comes from the Latin ‘texere’ meaning to weave. When our first ancestors began hunting animals and keeping their hides for clothes the first ‘material’ was born. Even though “food, clothes and housing are the most important needs of a man” (Jørgensen 1992) textile production is a craft that took a long time developing. It seems that the first material that was used was of a vegetative nature. In 1962, digging into level VI at the Turkish site of Catal Hüyük archaeologists uncovered the carbonised remains of a variety of textiles. The date was set at the beginning of the 6th millennium BC. It took some time for the remains to be analysed as they were in quite bad condition. It was finally established that the remains were flax - and the material linen (Barber 1992). As we move into the Neolithic, flax turns up again, the Swiss ‘lake dwellings’ dated to c. 3000BC provide our earliest substantial piece of material. Excellently made fragments of linen cloth were uncovered. They were of a very high quality and contained various patterns and elaborately fringed areas. Small quantities of spun thread were also found dotted around the site thus suggesting that the production of cloth was quite developed (Barber 1992). More Neolithic cloth turns up in Egypt. It was found in the 5th Millennium layer of a site in the Faiyum. A piece of coarse linen was found in a small cooking pot. (Barber 1992). Linen is an excellent material but not as good as wool for warmth and durability so why was wool not used before this?

The sheep was domesticated by 9000BC in N.E. Iraq and by 3000BC at the latest there are firm indications that its coat was being converted into wool felt or woven fabric. In Britain the earliest finds of sheep bones date to the early Neolithic (from c 3700BC), but the first extant wool textiles are those from the oak coffin at Rylston, E. Yorkshire. The wild ancestor of domestic sheep has “a short hairy, outer coat composed of bristly fibres knows as kemps which obscure an even sorter, fine woolly undercoat” (Ryder 1981). The coat of the first domesticated sheep must have been the same as that of the wild ancestor and quite unsuitable for material. After domestication the woolly undercoat became denser, and many of the kemps in the outer coat were replaced by long-stapled wool. Eventually, probably as a result of direct selection by man, there evolved a uniform fleece of generalised medium wool. The earlier short, hairy and coarse coat would not have been suitable for spinning like the later woolly fleece. It is not until the bronze age that these changes take place. Until shears came into use in the iron age the wool was obtained by from the sheep by simply pulling the hair off. Wool was probably spun directly from the fleece with little or no preparation. It then needs to be combed to straighten the fibres in perpetration for spinning. Bone combs have survived from prehistoric times and some were probably used for this purpose.

It is not until the Bronze Age that we begin to get substantial evidence for textile production. It comes from the graves of the ‘mound people’ in Denmark where each grave contains significant textile remains. The waterlogging of the sites made for excellent preservation of the costumes and gave us a real insight to fashion in Bronze Age Europe. The clothes recovered include cloaks, hats, hair-nets, tunics, belts and skirts. They are all made of woven woollen fabric and some if not all of the material was fulled (Glob 1974). It also seems that the costumes were woven on a loom (Broholm & Hald 1948). Similar material also turns up in Ireland at Armoy in Co.Antrim. Here a horsehair belt and woven woollen bag were uncovered in a bog. This represents a major development in the technology of textile production. The techniques used in making these costumes i.e. loom weaving is still practised all over the world today and has remained more or less unchanged. We learn then, that the knowledge of textile production had reached its height in the Bronze age - around the same time that fulachta fiadh start appearing in the landscape.

The Importance of Textiles

Textile products play a vital role in meeting man’s basic needs. We often only consider textiles to be the clothes we wear. Obviously, the clothing industry is where the majority of textiles are produced and used. However, textiles are also important in all aspects of our lives from birth to death. The use of textiles has been traced back over 8500 years. The technological advances of textiles in various industries do not always get recognized as they do in the clothing industry. The following paragraphs describe some important roles that textiles play in other industries.

Food Industry:

Farmers wear protective clothing to spray their crops with pesticides. Textiles are used to cover plants and wrap trees for protection from weather and insects. Coffee filters and tea bags are made of a nonwoven textile. The annual production of tea bag string would stretch around the equator 67 times.

Building Materials:

Textiles are used in our homes to insulate them from heat and cold. The furniture, on which we sit and sleep, is composed of various types of textile products. . Textiles are used in roofing materials, wire coverings, wall coverings, blinds, air ducts and window screens.

Transportation:

The transportation industry relies on textiles to line the beds of the roads before they are paved. A tire gets seventy five percent of its strength from textiles. Kevlarâ aramid is often used to strengthen radial tires because it is lightweight and five times stronger than steel. The interiors of all types of transportation vehicles are covered with textiles. Textiles are also used in the brake linings, gaskets, seals, seat belts, air bags and filters of vehicles. The Lear Fan Jet airplane body is composed of 100 percent carbon fiber composite material. This carbon material is half the weight of aluminum and as strong as steel. The heat shields on spacecraft are composed of a fiber that will withstand 20,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

Health Industry:

Textiles are used as life saving devices in the healthcare industry. The artificial kidney used in dialysis is made of 7,000 hollow fibers and is only two inches in diameter. The Jarvik-7 artificial heart is composed of over fifty percent textiles and has Velcro fittings. Over 150,000 people in the United States have artificial arteries made of knitted polyester, which aids in preventing clotting and rejection. The invention of disposable clothing helps prevent the spread of bacteria. Sutures for wounds are now made of a dissolvable textile fiber. Casts for broken bones, surgical masks, bandages and gloves are other examples of textiles used in the healthcare industry.

Protective Textiles:

Bulletproof vests are made of 7 layers of Kevlar 29â aramid, which can protect a person from a knife slash and stop a .38-caliber bullet fired at a range of 10 feet. Firefighters and race-car drivers wear apparel made of Nomexâ aramid to protect them from the extreme heat they encounter in their professions. Astronauts wear $100,000 suits made of Nomexâ aramid that protect them from the elements of space. Sports players wear protective helmets and pads made of textiles.

Recreational Products

Sports equipment such as sailboats, hockey sticks, fishing rods, golf clubs, tennis rackets and canoes are composed of textile fibers. KevlarÒ aramid is used in this type of sports equipment because of its light weight and strength. Backpacks, balls, life jackets and artificial playing surfaces are also made of textile fibers.

Miscellaneous Textile Products:

Other products composed of textiles that are not usually thought of as textile products are as follows:

  1. Toothbrushes
  2. Hair Brushes
  3. Dental Floss
  4. Artificial Flowers/Plants
  5. Book Bindings
  6. Candle Wicks
  7. Communication Lines
  8. Circuit Boards

Just by reviewing the textile products contained in the paragraphs above helps us realize how important textiles are to our lives. The importance of textiles also meets another need, which is employment. Today the textile industry employs over 1.4 million people, more than any other industry. As textile technology advances, so will the importance of textiles in our lives.

Will the dye stain my washing machine?



Will it ruin the clothes I wash in the machine, later on?

After dyeing, be sure to wipe up any spots of dye that result from splashing, spots that have appeared above the water level. If you are using fiber reactive dyes, you should wash your newly dyed items, first in cold water, and then in water that is as hot as the fabric can tolerate, to remove excess dye. If you are using acid dye, you should wash the fabric only in cool temperatures, and then follow that by using hot water to wash a load of rags or something else that excess dye will not ruin, preferably with bleach. After this, all excess dye should be removed, leaving the machine clean and safe for the next load. I have never had a problem with washing clothes, after dyeing, perhaps due to following these rules.



Will the dye stain my washing machine?

Occasionally, some turquoise MX-G (reactive blue #140) will cause lasting stains on the white enamel interior of the washing machine. (Note that many mixed colors of MX fiber reactive dye include this dye in their formula.) Other colors do not seem to do this, though I don't know about acid dyes. The stains do no harm and will not damage clothes that are washed later. Washing a laundry load with plenty of bleach may help to remove the stains. When dyeing in the bathtub, I have found that dye stains are easily removed with a scouring powder such as Bon Ami, though a bleach-containing scouring powder may be even more effective. Dye stains appear to adhere to soap scum rather than to the enamel itself

But won't it ruin my washing machine?



No. I know lots of people who routinely dye in the washing machine; their machines do not seem to wear out any more quickly than other washing machines subjected to the same workload, though it is theoretically possible that the high levels of salt would speed corrosion in rustable parts of the machine. Using the machine on a daily basis for dyeing may shorten its lifespan somewhat; occasional use does not appear to be significant.

Important: first prepare your fabric


Prewash: All fabrics must be pre-washed before dyeing. Fabrics may have invisible stains that will affect the evenness of dyeing, or they may have finishes that will have the same effect.

Use special detergent: For the very best and brightest results, it is best to use a special detergent for this purpose, because many commercial laundry detergents container optical brighteners which occupy the same positions you want the fabric to make available for the dye, and brighteners make deep colors look less intense. Appropriate detergents include Synthrapol, or pure SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate or sodium lauryl sulfate), commonly sold in feed stores under the brand name Orvus. However, results of dyeing are generally acceptable even when ordinary detergents have been used for pre-washing. If you don't have Synthrapol, don't worry; just use whatever detergent you have.

Beware of starch: Sometimes fabrics will have been treated with starch before sale. Starch presents a major problem for the dyer. It will take up dye readily itself, then gradually wash out, giving the mistaken appearance of dye bleeding. Starched fabric is not suitable for dyeing, because washing does not remove most of it. To determine whether your fabric contains starch, drop 2% tincture of iodine on it. Iodine turns an intense blue in the presence of starch.

Permanent press and other resins. If the fabric has been treated with a no-iron finish, or with a stain resistant coating, or with any sort of water repellant, dye will not be able to reach the fabric evenly, resulting in pale, uneven dyeing. A permanent press finish can be removed with muriatic acid, but the chemical is too hazardous to be suitable for home or studio use. Also, some after-dyeing dye fixatives, which are invaluable for combatting the poor wash-fastness of direct dyes and all-purpose dyes, will afterwards prevent dye from reaching the fiber properly. This may present a problem in dyeing the many garments that have been commercially dyed with direct dye.

Other potential problems. Occasionally, different parts of a garment will be made from more than one lot of fabric, which look the same before dyeing, but then look quite different after dyeing. There is nothing to be done about this except chalk it up to acceptable losses, or dye only blank garments that have been sold as "PFD" (Prepared For Dyeing").

Top-loaders versus front-loaders

Top-loading washing machines are much easier to use for dyeing, because the lid can be opened at any time during the cycle, and dyes or auxiliaries can be added at will. Front-loading washing machines are much more frugal with water, however. Some front-loading washing machines, particularly in Europe, have heaters which allow fabric to be dyed or washed at temperatures much higher than tap water can reach. The best front-loaders for washing have dispensers through which dye and auxiliaries (such as salt and soda ash) can be added, taking care of the major problem of not being able to open the front door during a wash cycle. If your front-loading washing machine lacks these dispensers, try Dylan Machine Dye, if you can get it, as the instructions for its use do not require them. The ideal small dyeing studio should have both a top-loading washing machine, for use in dyeing, and a front-loading washing machine, for use in washing out dye. If you have a top-loading machine that still works, but wish to replace it with a front loader, consider keeping the top-loader, and stacking a new front-loader on top of your dryer, or underneath it.

About Acid dyes?



Acid dyes. Acid dyes are needed to dye nylon, wool, and other animal fibers, such as mohair, angora, etc. (Silk is a special case and can be dyed like wool or like cotton.) Acid dyes will not dye cellulose materials such as cotton. Acid dyes normally require the same sort of heating as described above for all-purpose dye, but sometimes they are used in hot tap water.

About reactive dye?


Fiber reactive dye. For dyeing cellulose materials, such as cotton, linen, rayon, or hemp, fiber reactive dyes are the best. They are brighter and more wash-fast than all-purpose or direct dye, and they work even in cool water, 70 degrees F (21 C) or above, which has obvious advantages in not causing shrinkage and not requiring extra heating of the water. Good examples of fiber reactive dyes include Procion MX, Cibacron F, and Drimarene K.Procion MX dye is readily obtained by mail order from most of the companies listed on my Sources for Dyeing Supplies page, while Cibacron F is available under the brand name of Sabracron F, from PRO Chemical & Dye. Drimarene K is the type of dye found in Dylon Machine Dye, commonly available in Europe but not the US; this dye is promoted as being formulated for use in front-loading washing machines. Drimarene K is also available from Batik Oetoro in Australia.

What kind of dyes?

Preferably NOT all-purpose. Some people claim that you can use all-purpose dyes in the washing machine. Unless your washing machine can heat water well above the usual temperature of the water heater (which is typically 120 to 140°F, or 49 to 60 °C), however, results will be less than optimal. All-purpose dye works best at the temperature of a simmer, 190-200°F, or 87-93°C; lower temperatures produce results that are duller in color and are not very wash-fast. Water that is hot enough for best results will often shrink garments, though, which can be a real problem with lined garments or garments that fit correctly before dyeing.

How can I dye clothing or fabric in the washing machine?



You'll need a long cycle, longer than is usually found on a washing machine, to give the dye plenty of time to react with the fabric. You should stay near the machine and reset it before it begins to drain at the end of a wash cycle. If you want to walk away from the machine, you should wear a timer (clipped to your clothing, or on a cord around your neck), to remind you to return before the end of the cycle; otherwise, you may find yourself wasting dye and auxiliary chemicals, letting them run down the drain before you are done with them. Some top-loading washing machines will agitate but not drain if the lid is left open, in which case this is a very easy way to avoid problems.

How can I dye clothing or fabric in the washing machine?

If your goal is a single, smooth, even color, you'll need to immersion dye with a lot of water, and a lot of stirring. An easy way to avoid stirring, and to work with large volumes of water without having to carry the water yourself, is to use an automatic washing machine.

How to tie dye

Jute Textiles



JUTE, the 100% biodegradable jute is a major textile fiber. It is a also a raw material for non-textile products, which helps to protect environment, which is an integral part of any development planning.

Textile Finishing ,Dyeing,Wet Process



Textile Finishing

Finishing is the final series of operations that produces finished textile fabric from greige goods. Finishing operations are predominantly wet operations requiring large amounts of thermal energy for water heating and drying. Woven greige goods require some additional steps prior to dyeing, as compared to knit goods. As the first step in finishing woven goods, singeing burns protruding fibers by passing the fabric over an open flame or heated plates to produce a cleaner fabric and enhance future operations. Hot exhaust air is produced.

Sizes and other ingredients added during slashing in the weaving mill are removed in the desizing operation by washing them in a detergent solution at temperatures up to 200°F and then rinsing them with fresh water. The process produces a wastewater stream of 100 to 120°F. Scouring is another washing process using steam and detergents to remove oils and mineral material. The scouring can be done by batch in pressurized vessels known as kiers or on a continuous basis. In either case, high temperatures, to 250°F, and long retention times, up to 12 hours, are used to ensure thorough saturation and cleaning. Finally, the fabric is rinsed. A waste stream of warm, contaminated water is produced.

Next, the fabric is bleached, washed, and rinsed several times to achieve uniformity and improve its ability to absorb dyestuffs later in the finishing operation. Contaminated, warm wastewater is produced. Mercerizing is an optional step and consists of a caustic spray, tensioning, water rinse, water wash, acid dip, and final water wash, and produces a warm wastewater stream. For the drying step, conventional steam-heated drying cans arranged in sequence are most usually used. Finishing is the final wet process wherein size and/or other ingredients are applied to the fabric to provide particular characteristics, such as stiffness, water proofing, etc.

The fabric is dried and finally heat cured with a direct flame on a tender frame to bring it to its final dimensions. Large quantities of hot exhaust gas in the 200°F range are produced. The woven fabric is now ready for dyeing. Knit goods do not require desiring and bleaching. The finishing process requires only scouring to thoroughly clean

the goods prior to dyeing. As with woven fabric, the step involves hot water washes and rinsing, and produces warm, contaminated waste water.

Dyeing Process

The dyeing process varies considerably, depending on the type of dyestuff, type of fabric, and desired final characteristics (for example, solid color or prints.) Dyeing is a wet process and may be done in batches or continuously. Dye vats are known as dye becks and may be atmospheric dye becks (open) or pressure dye becks.

Frequently, a time-temperature ramp is employed. The dye beck may start at 120°F and may be slowly raised in temperature to 160°F or higher through steam-heated heat exchangers. After the dye is set by aging or heating, the fabric may be washed again and dried and/or heat cured. Large quantities of warm, contaminated wastewater are produced.

Finishing Wet Process

Finishing plants are thermal energy-intensive, requiring large quantities of hot water from 120 to 200°F for desiring, scouring, bleaching, mercerizing, dyeing, washing, and rinsing. The hot water is almost universally heated with steam using steam-to-water heat exchangers, direct sparing, or storage tank heating. Many plants recover heat from waste streams with heat exchangers to preheat the process water. Large quantities of steam are also used for heating drying cans and, to a lesser degree, for humidifying space conditioning air.
