Warp yarn is put on yarn feeder creel through which warp beans (Tana) is prepared on warping machine. The yarn in this beam is very tender and soft hence needs to be made stronger before it can be put in the weaving machine. This is achieved in the sizing machine where the yarn sheet is dipped in a binding chemical and then dried by passing it through a heated chamber.

2. Binding chemical

3. Squeezing

4. To drying

   

The sized beam is now ready to be put in the Power Loom. Meanwhile weft yarn (Bana) is wound on pirns through automatic Pirn winding machine.

  

Different combinations of viscose Rayon filament yarn, viscose Staple yarn, cotton yarn, polyester yarn, Lycra blended yarn etc. can be used in warp and weft to produce the desired fabric

    

The loom weaves the warp and weft yarn into two separate superimposed fabric layers simultaneously and the pile yarn is interlaced between them in a “W” orientation. The weaving can be done in “V” orientation as well.

This pile interlaced double sheet of fabric is then split apart by a high-speed laterally moving blade thus producing a cut pile velvet fabric.

   

     

The fabric texture can be adjusted by setting the reed and pick. See FAQ section for more details on this subject.

    

The fabric then goes to the mending and repairing department where minor weaving defects, if any, are removed. It is then assorted depending on its weight per metre and then packed in hessian bales, ready to be dispatched.
