From spinning to finishing, the textile chain goes through stages such as weaving, dyeing, and printing, transforming fibers into fabrics and finished products for various applications.
Spinning, in general, refers to the process of transforming textile fibers into yarns that will later form fabrics and knits. There are several spinning techniques, such as Ring spinning, Rotor spinning, Air-jet spinning, and Compact spinning.
Weaving is responsible for fabric production, created by interlacing two sets of parallel yarns at right angles: the warp and the weft. This process is carried out on a machine called a loom.
Knitting is a technique for producing knits that uses needles to interloop a series of loops from a continuous yarn. When this process is repeated a certain number of times, it forms a knitted fabric.
Dyeing can be defined as the application of color to a textile item with a certain degree of colorfastness, while textile printing is the process of applying color to fabric or knits in defined patterns, where one or more colors are applied only to specific areas in well-defined designs.
From the textile industry’s perspective, finishing processes are highly important, as they enable a garment or fabric to perform its function in the best possible way, with the highest quality, in order to meet consumer expectations.
Garment manufacturing is the final process; that is, after the textiles are created, they are transformed to serve their intended purpose. This includes the production of clothing items as well as casual-use products such as sheets, sofas, towels, and many other items.
