Q. 15 CBSE 2 2

Q. 16 Bobbin: A small metal spool that holds the lower CBSE 4 2
thread supply.

Q. 17 Needles are available in three different tips/ CBSE 4 3
points:
 Regular sharp needle: This is ideal for mostly all
woven fabrics because it helps produce even
stitching with minimum puckering.
 Ball-point needle: The slightly rounded tip is
recommended for all knit and lycra fabrics as the
needle pushes between the fabric yarns instead of
piercing them.
 Wedge point needle: This needle is specially
designed for leather and vinyl, as it easily pierces
these fabrics to make a hole that closes back upon
itself. This avoids unattractive holes in the garment
and also reduces the risk of stitches tearing the
fabric.
Q. 18  Hue: The purest form of any colour is defined as CBSE 3 3
hue.
 Tint: Tint is created by adding white to a hue. It is
called light value of a hue. For example, mauve is a
tint of violet and pink is a tint of red.
 Shade: Shade is created by adding black to a hue.
It is the dark value of a hue. For example, maroon
is a shade of red, and olive is a shade of green.
 Tone: Tone is created by adding grey
(combination of white and black) to a hue. It is the
saturated form of a hue. For example, dull rose is a
tone of red, and dull blue is a tone of blue.
Q. 19 Dyeing is the process of coloration of textiles by CBSE 2 3
immersing in an aqueous solution of dye known as
dye bath. The dye molecules must diffuse from the
dye bath to the ibre. The dye molecules must
penetrate inside the fibre structure in the
amorphous regions to give the required fastness.
To improve the effectiveness of dyeing, electrolyte
(e.g. salt, soda ash), dye auxiliaries (e.g. levelling
agents) and heat is required to assist the process
of dye diffusion.
Answer any 3 out of the given 5 questions in 50– 80 words each (4 x 3 = 12 marks)
Q. 20 The Government of India has taken several CBSE 1 4

initiatives including a number of export
promotion policies with incentives to broad-
base coverage of market-linked product scheme
in order to increase the Indian share for textiles
and clothing in the global market as follows:
 Welfare schemes to weavers and artisans
 E-marketing platforms and other marketing
initiatives to promote niche handloom and
handicraft products through different events.
 Skill development of people across all sub-
sectors.
 Financial packages to help handloom sector
weavers and cooperative societies.
 Textile Parks which facilitate employment to
several millions of textile workers in the
apparel, hosiery, silk, processing, technical
textiles including carpet and power loom
areas. Such industries are supported in the
following aspects:

 Land
 Common infrastructure like compound
wall, roads, drainage, water supply,
power plant for electricity supply,
telecommunication lines etc.
 Factory buildings for production purpose
 Machinery
 Buildings for common facilities liketesting
laboratories, design centre, training centre,
warehousing facility,packaging unit, offices of
serviceproviders, marketing support systemetc.
Q. 21 PLAIN WEAVE: Plain weave is the simplest CBSE 2 4
interlacing pattern. It is produced by alternatively
lifting and lowering one warp thread across one
weft thread.
TWILL WEAVE :Twill is a weave that repeats on
three or more ends and picks and produces
diagonal lines on the face of a fabric. The direction
of the diagonal lines on the surface of the cloth is
generally viewed along the warp direction. Denim
and jeans fabrics are common examples of twill
weave.
SATIN AND SATEEN WEAVE: Satin is a warp-faced
weave in which the binding points are arranged to
produce a smooth fabric surface free from twill
lines. A satin is frequently described as a ‘warp
satin’. Sateen, also referred to as ‘weft satin’ is a
weft-faced weave to give a smooth and shiny
appearance.

Q. 24 The role of the different ingredients used in CBSE 2 4
printing of textiles.
 Dye/pigment: The main colouring compound in
the printing process.
 Water: A small amount of water is required in
printing to dissolve the dye into the print paste.
Water is a convenient and easily available
medium to mix and disperse the dye molecules
in the thickener.
 Thickener: The purpose of the thickener is to
produce a medium for the dye paste. The
viscosity of the printing paste is very important
as it affects the clarity and depth of the printed
pattern. The physical and chemical properties of
the thickener should be such that it should not
crack immediately after printing.
 Steam: After printing the next process is
generally steaming. Steaming ensures adequate
penetration of the dye molecules in the fibre.
 Dry heating: Dry heating softens the fibre and
allow the dye molecules to enter into the
amorphous region of the fibre structure.
 Washing off: Washing is done to remove the
thickener and other printing paste from the
surface of the fabric after the printing process.
