What is Mercerization Process? Mercerisation is an optional process but it is performed on the cotton fabric to improve the feel and aesthetic look. The benefits imparted to cotton by mercerization include a silk-like luster and increased strength, moisture absorbency, color yield after dyeing, and reactivity. In this process, the fabrics are treated with concentrated […]
What is Textile Finishing? Textile finishing helps to improve the appearance, hand-feel, performance or other aesthetics of the textiles. Finishing process is performed to impart some additional properties to the fabric. Textile finishing process may impart some functional properties and common properties either by physical treatment or by chemical treatment. In this process, all the
Singeing Process in Textile: Singeing is the process of removing protruding fibers from the fabric by burning them out. When yarn is made from short staple fibers, the two ends of the fiber may not be embedded inside the yarn and are projected due to the twist imparted during spinning. For multifilament yarns, some filaments
Yarn Dyeing Process: Yarn dyeing is carried out after fiber has been spun into yarn. The process is mainly used to produce various effects of stripes, checks, plaids or other multicolor designs with different colored yarns in the weaving and knitting process. Moreover, threads for sewing and embroidery purposes are all dyed at the yarn
Weaving Process in Textile: Weaving is a process in which two sets of yarns are interlaced to form a fabric. The lengthwise set of yarn is called warp, and the widthwise yarn is called weft. To make fabric, the lengthwise yarn and the widthwise yarn have to be interlaced in such a way that the
Sizing Process in Weaving: Sizing is a generic term for applying various compounds to warp yarn to bind the fibers in the yarn together and to increase the strength and abrasion resistance of the yarn during weaving. The warp yarns, during weaving, undergo number of stresses and strains due to up and down motion of
What is Warping Process? Warping is the process of converting the yarn into a sheet of yarns (of desired length and desired number of ends in the sheet) for using in the weaving process as a warp sheet. It is a preparatory process for the sizing and weaving activity. The activities of the warping process
