In textile manufacturing, finishing refers to any process performed on yarn or fabric after weaving to improve the look, performance, or "hand" (feel) of the finished textile.[1] Some finishing techniques, such as fulling, have been in use with hand-weaving for centuries; others such as mercerization are by-products of the Industrial Revolution.
Type of fabric finishing include:
- Bleaching to remove color
- Calendaring
- Dyeing to add color
- Fulling or waulking to add weight and density
- Mercerizing
- Pressing
- Printing to add color and pattern
- Scouring (washing with detergents, alkaline solutions, or enzymes to remove foreign matter)
- Shearing or singeing to smooth the fabric
- Watering to add moiré patterns
- Weighting silk with metallic salts to add weight and improve hang
