cloth finishing
Final textile processing
Cloth finishing refers to the processes applied to woven or knitted fabric after it leaves the loom or knitting machine.
These treatments—bleaching, dyeing, printing, pressing, shrinking, waterproofing—transform raw textile into fabric ready for sale or use.
The finishing determines a cloth's final texture, appearance, and performance: The mill specializes in cloth finishing for outdoor apparel.
