The textile industry is a term used for industries
primarily concerned with the design or
manufacture of clothing as well as the
distribution and use of textiles.
Textile -A textile is a flexible material consisting of a
network of natural or artificial fibers often referred to
as thread or yarn.
Yarn is produced by spinning raw wool fibers, flax,
cotton, or other material on a spinning wheel to
produce long strands. Textiles are formed by weaving,
knitting, crocheting, knotting, or pressing fibers
together

Ginning
Ginning is the method of separating the cotton fibers from the seedpods, and
sometimes with the sticky seeds. This is done in the cotton field with the help
of machines.
Spinning
Spinning is the succeeding step to ginning. This process involves the making of
yarn from the cotton fiber. The cotton yarns are made of different thickness in
this stage.
Weaving
Weaving is the most important process in the making of cotton cloth. In this
process, two yarn is placed to make warp and weft of a loom which successively
turn them into a cloth.
Scouring - The cleaning part of the fabrics are involved in this process.
Bleaching - The fabrics are bleached here to make it more whiter and
lighter.
Dyeing - This process involves the changing of the fabric color by the
treatment with a dye.
Finishing - In this process, the fabric is treated with some chemicals or
other useful agents to make it qualitatively more better, for e.g. cotton
is made sun protected by treating it with UV protecting agent.
From Cocoon to Yarn
The worms feed on mulberry leaves and increases their body
size by nearly 10,000 times in a short span of time.
The worm ceases to eat by the end of thirty days and attach
itself to a piece of straw and begins to spin its cocoon.
Finishing
Final soaking in a chemical solution
This process helps to preserve the sheen and luster of the silk fabric. It
adds weight and makes the fabric soft, smooth, easy to iron
and wrinkle resistant.
Printing is giving pattern to the fabric.
It is either done by
Block-printing method,
Roller-printing method or
Screen printing. Screen printing is widely used in silk
fabrics.
A good quality of silk begins with a warp of
approximately 2,000 threads for one meter width.
1,600 threads or 1,800 threads are considered to be
poor quality fabric. Loosely woven fabrics are difficult
to sew.
