Common Fabric Defects-1
1. Weft Streaks
These are faint or sometimes prominant lines along the lenght of the fabric. Use
of good quality reeds will largly reduce streaks due to uneven end spacing.
Streaks can also be avoided through careful housekeeping and ensuring that
different batches of yarns do not get mixed up.
2. Reediness
3. Irregular reppiness
A phurki is a weft loom protruding from the cloth surface. Generally, the length of
the yarn in the loop is not sufficient to permit snarling. These loops may protrude
from both faces of the fabric. Early shedding, incresing warp tension within
workable limits, use of good temples and adequate size pick of about 12% or
higher - these measures can be used to prevent the occurrence of phurkies.
5. Curled and folded selvedges
This defect is characterised by the appearance of curls and folds in the fabric
selvedges. The following points merit attention:
a. Denting order- the number of ends per reed dent in the selvedge should be 50
to 100% more than that in the body.
c. Selvedge construction- The selvedge yarns should be preferably two ply and
should be drawn one end per heald eye.
In this defect, a group of extreme warp ends in the selvedges do not interlace
with the weft over a fabric length of 1 to 4 cm. The main cause of this defect is
excessive tension in the weft yarn.
7. Weft snarls
A weft snarl in a fabric is caused by a short length of three fold weft yarn of which
two folds are intertwisted.
The incidence of such snarls can be reduced by ensuring the process setting of
twist and by minimising the possibility of severe rubbing of yarn between the
shuttle and the box front plate.
8. Weft Bar
A weft bar is dark or light band across the width of the fabric which shows up
prominantly particularly in dyed fabrics.
Medium to long term periodic irregularity in yarn will produce regular weft bars in
the fabric.
In plain woven fabrics, this defect materialises by the presence of two picks in the
same shed for a part of the width of the fabric.
The main cause of weft breaks are rough surfaces of shuttle, shuttle box, rough
or incorrect placement of shuttle eye, loose fitting of pirn in the shuttle, incorrect
alignment of pirn with shuttle eye and low yarn strength.
10. Lashing-in
Lashing in is the term used to describe bits of extra weft yarn found tucked into
the selvedge of the fabric.
A defect where one or more warp ends are missing in the fabric is called a chira.
This is the most frequently occurring defect in Indian fabrics and constitutes 40-
50% of the total defects. Most chiras are caused by broken that are not mended
immediately.
It can be prevented by minimising missing ends in the beam and efficient
maninteance of the warp stop motion.
Effective supervision to ensure that a broken end is not left unmended for long
can also minimise the occurrence of chira.
