Cotton in Weaving Technology

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cotton Science and Processing Technology

Abstract

The significance of cotton as one of the core raw materials in weaving can be realized based on the utility of approximately 75% of annual worldwide produced cotton in the production of woven fabrics. This chapter has mainly emphasized on a brief description of manufacturing processes to produce cotton woven fabrics along with multiple weave structures. Here, the basic weaving processes are described sequentially for the smooth handling of cotton yarn during fabrication. Besides, some particular preparatory processes for cotton weaving have been pointed out as the suitability of cotton yarn in several weave structures are different, so a few key production parameters of weaving differ from conventional loom to modern loom. Herein, this content covers various processing factors of cotton weaving for multiple looms, fundamental weaving calculation, and loom settings related to cotton fabrication.
