The textile industry is filled with technical terms and specialized nomenclature. Our fiber glossary is designed to help you quickly understand the most important definitions used across fibers, yarns, cords, and braids.
From denier and tenacity to twist and braid construction, textile terminology can be confusing—especially when working with high-performance materials. These terms are critical for understanding how fibers behave, how they are processed, and how they perform in real-world applications.
To make things easier, we’ve created a dedicated glossary that defines commonly used fiber and textile terms in a clear, straightforward way.
