    Defects In Woven Fabric

    Stitchdiary

    After the knit defects post, we will talk about the defects found in
    woven fabrics. Defects found in fabric ruin the aesthetic appeal and
    quality of the final garment, making it really important to identify and
    take corrective measures at the right time.

    Defects in woven fabric can be a result of yarn imperfections, incorrect


    weaving process or errors in the finishing process. They can be
    categorized into 3 groups: yarn related defects, defects occurring in
    warp direction and defects in the filling direction.
    Yarn Related Defects:
    1. Mixed End/ Thick End: It can be identified as the warp end
    having larger diameter than the other warps.
    2. Slub Or Slug: Abnormally thick place occurring in the yarn that
    affects the fabric’s appearance.

    Warp Direction Defects:


    1. Reedy Fabric Marks: Appearance of fine cracks across the fabric
    between warp end groups which resemble denting pattern in the reed.
    2. Warp Streaks: Warp streaks can be identified as the warp way
    stripes of shade variations occurring between groups of threads.
    3. Misdraws / Wrong Draw: Design or stripes in the final fabric
    being damaged due to drawing of incorrect ends.

    4. Broken / Missing End: It can be identified as the space created in


    the fabric when a yarn partially or completely is missing from the
    fabric
    Weft Direction Defects:
    1. Starting Marks: Thick or thin places occurring in fabric due to
    pick density variation when starting the loom, causing starting marks.
    2. Filling/Weft Bars:

    3. Broken Pick: Broken Pick defect can be identified as the weft


    inserted to only a partial portion of the pick.
    4. Broken Pattern: This defect occurs on drop box looms for fabrics
    that have patterns. If the sequence of weft yarn colour breaks or
    pattern width of particular colour is distorted, broken pattern defect
    appears.
    5. Double Pick: This defect happens when more than one pick is
    inserted in the single shed.

    6. Gout: Appearance of foreign matter or contamination like lint,


    waste, etc woven into the fabric.
    7. Sloughing off: When a bunch of or coil of yarn slips from the pirn
    during weaving then thick yarn bunches or coils appear on the fabric.

    8. Snarl: When yarn doubles back on itself especially because of high


    twist yarn, then snarling appears. It can be found randomly spread
    across fabric width or only in a region nearby the selvedge.
    Now we know some of the common defects that can appear in woven
    fabric that can hamper the quality of the final garment produced out of
    it. With the knowledge of what causes these defects and how we can
    avoid them during the weaving process, we can ensure the fabric
    produced is as per the quality and appearance intended.
