Textile technologist - Which skills are useful but not essential?
Manufacturing technologies which use loop forming techniques to convert yarns into fabrics in order to form knitted fabrics.
Developing structural and colour effects in weft knitted fabrics by using the weft knitting technique.
Prepare bobbins to be used in textile processing.
Processes involved in textile dyeing using different dyeing technologies. Also, addition of colours to textile materials using dye stuffs.
Manufacturing of nonwoven fabrics according to specification. Development, manufacture, properties and evaluation of nonwoven fabrics.
Complete the processing operation of man-made fibres and ensure that the product is made according to customer specification.
Evaluating the physical properties of textiles by using testing methods, normally in accordance with a standard; it includes fibre identification and trouble shooting.
Draw sketches to develop textiles or wearing apparel by hand. They create visualisations of the motives, patterns or products in order to be manufactured.
Convert slivers into yarns or threads by combing processes converting drafting card sliver to combed sliver. Form short fibre to yarn using yarn and thread processing technologies, mostly ring spinning or open-end spinning (rotor spinning) or alternative spinning techniques. Work in the drafting or drawing process converting sliver into roving and converting roving into yarn, through further drafting and twisting processes. Work on winding machines to reel the yarn from bobbins onto spools or cones.
Use warp knitting machine technologies that enable the formation of fabrics. Able to set machines for warp knitting, colour and pattern for monitoring and controlling the warp knitting process on electronic automatic warp knitting machines equipped with multifunction microprocessor and software.
Operate machines that enable weaving processes turning threads into fabrics. Setup weaving machine programmes for the machine to produce fabrics with the adequate pattern, colour and fabric density.
Developing structural and colour effects in warp knitted fabrics by using the warp knitting technique.
Use warping, sizing, drawing-in and knotting technologies that enable the formation of warps.
Processes used for changing the properties of textile materials. This includes operating, monitoring and maintaining textile finishing machines.
Check characteristics of textile products like yarns, woven, knitted, braided, tufted or nonwoven textiles, finished cloths, ready-make-garments and determine the product quality along different stages of the textiles or clothing production line.
