4. 1. Ball Wrapping 3
 Ball warping is the first operation in denim manufacturing, in
which the warp or ends are warped on a ball in the form of
rope in order to make it possible that the yarn can be dyed
in rope form.
 This is one of the widely used warping operation in denim
manufacturing mills.

5. 2. Dyeing
 Dyeing is a process by which physical or chemical changes are
produced into the textile substrate so that reflection of light appears
colored.”
 The substances, which are responsible for this phenomenon are
called Dye Stuffs. These are special chemicals known as Dyes.

6. 3. Re-Beaming 5
 Re-beaming is carried out just after the dyeing
process and in this operation the dyed rope of yarn is
wound over the beam in a sheet form in order to size
the warp yarn in the form of sheet.

7. 4. Sizing 6
 The prime function of the sizing is to improve the
weave ability of the warp yarn.
 This is accomplished by selecting and applying the
right sizing materials which are most suitable for the
different yarn being sized.

8. 5. Weaving
 Weaving is the cloth manufacturing process which produces a woven fabric
by the interlacement of two sets of yarns i.e. warp and weft at right angles.
 Threads which are parallel to the length of the fabric are called as warp
threads. They are carried on beam and are usually sized.
 Weft threads are parallel to the width of the fabric; they are also called as
filling threads as they are carried through the warp shed by means of some
weft insertion medium.
 The actual process of weaving i.e. the interlacement of warp and weft is
carried out on a machine called as the loom.

9. 6. Finishing
 Finishing is an after-treatment process and last step
of textile wet processing to improve properties
depending upon the end use.
 Finishing process done to fabrics, fiber and yarns
causing them to change in appearance, texture and
performance.
 The aim of textile finish may be described as
improving the customer satisfaction by performing
different chemical and mechanical activities.

10. 7. Inspection & Dispatch
 It is the main process also consider as the heart of
finishing department because in this grading of fabric
rolls take place.
 At this stage we can easily trace or figure out the
problems from spinning till dyeing.
 The main function of this process is to inspect and
grade the fabric by identifying all the faults from back
processes.
 After these all the process, final finished fabric i.e.
denim is obtained which is further sold to the garment
or other factories to convert it into the desired end
products.
