Weavingis basically interlacing of two setsi.e. warp and weft threads in desired sequence
and pattern. To obtain thisinterlacement, warp yarn sheet is bifurcated & openedin form
of two layers/sheet and weft thread is inserted between the so opened, two warp sheets
by means of a suitable carrieri.e. shuttle weaving machines.
During subsequent cycle, the sheet forming upper layer is lowered and made to form
lower layer and vis-&-vis for opposite sheet. Thus the interlacement is formed. In order to
get this sheet separation and their up and down movement, each warp thread is to be
drawn through heads, reeds and drop pins. This operation is called "Drawing - in". The
woven fabric wound on a clothrollis taken out from weaving machines at certain intervals
and checked on inspection machines for possibilities of any weaving fault. Mending
operations ensure that the loose threads if any left out at fabric body / selvedge are
clipped off toimprove the overall quality and look of the fabric.
