interlaced at right angles to form a
fabric or cloth.
Knitting:
To form a fabric by the
intermeshing of loops of yarn.
Wet processing
Wet processing plays a vital role in the area of Pre-
treatment, Dyeing, Printing & Finishing.
Wet processes are textile production processes that
require significant quantities of water, thats why the
wet processes are considered to be wet processes;
which usually covers the following area :
Singeing, desizing, Scouring, bleaching, mercerizing,
dyeing, finishing or any other wet process.
Wet processing
This is the area where we imparting colors
to a textile material.
