Fabric

（一）What is the production process for fabrics

01-Raw Material Harvesting

Raw materials for fabrics can be natural fibers (e.g., cotton, wool, silk, etc.), synthetic(e.g., viscose, polyester, etc.), or synthetic fibers (e.g., nylon, lycra, etc.).

02-Fiber treatment

Raw fibers undergo a series of treatments, including steps such as cleaning, removal of impurities, and spinning, in order to be prepared in a form suitable for weaving or knitting.

03-Weaving or knitting

After the fibers have been spun, they are made into the basic structure of the fabric by looms or knitting machines. Weaving is the interlacing of yarns in a specific pattern to create the horizontal and vertical weave of the fabric, while knitting is the interweaving or wrapping of yarns to create the woven structure of the fabric.

04-Post-treatment

After weaving or knitting, fabrics usually require post-treatment, such as rinsing, finishing, dyeing, printing, drying, etc., in order to give the fabrics the desired color, handfeel and appearance characteristics.

05-Finishing and processing

After post-treatment, the fabrics may require finishing and processing, such as ironing, embossing, cutting, etc., in order to achieve the final appearance and size requirements.

06-Quality checking and packaging:

Finally, the processed fabrics are quality checked to ensure that they meet the relevant standards and requirements, and then packaged and ready for sale or supply to garment manufacturers, home furnishing manufacturers, etc.
