Counting of reed count: Reed determines the spacing of warp threads. Ordinary reed used for weaving cotton fabrics is made of rustless steel wires. They are bound at each end on balks by pith bands, whose thickness determines the spacing of dents. Sometimes brass wires are used instead of rustless steel. In this article, counting…
Warping: Warping is defined as the parallel winding of yarn from a cone or cheese package onto a warp beam. The operation of winding warp yarns onto a beam usually in preparation for slashing, weaving, or warp knitting. Also called warping. In this article, we will discuss different formulas of warping calculation with examples. Different…
Winding: The winding process can be defined as the transfer of spinning yarn from one package to another large package (cone, spool, pirn, etc). On the other hand, it can be defined as the transfer of yarn from ring bobbin, hanks, etc into a convenient form of a package containing a considerable long length of…
Stitch length: Stitch length (knitting) is the length of yarn in a knitted loop. It’s theoretically a single length of yarn which includes one needle loop half the length of yarn (half of a sinker loop) between that needle loop and the adjacent needle loops on either side of it. In this article Relation between…
Bleaching: Bleaching is a chemical treatment employed for the removal of natural coloring matter from the substrate. Also, absorbency is increased because sodium hydroxide is used to increase the pH value and remove oil, fat wax, etc. This is an oxidation process where the natural color of the fabric destroyed. For any type of dull…
Fabric Weight: Fabric weight is the most important characteristic of the fabric. It is one of the ways in which fabrics are classified. Fabric weights are measured in a few different ways. Generally, the fabric weight is measured by weighing a standardized width of a yard or meter on a scale. Fabric weights are also…
