What to Focus On
- A finish changes appearance, touch, or performance.
- Finishes make fabric suitable for its end use.
- Unfinished fabrics are called gray goods.
- Finishes can be grouped by function, performance, and process.
- Basic finishes improve appearance, feel, and body.
- Special finishes serve a specific purpose.
- Scouring removes impurities and increases absorbency.
- Cotton, silk, wool, and man-made fibres are cleaned differently.
- Bleaching removes colour and makes fabric white.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Gray goods are actually gray in colour.
All fabrics should be bleached the same way.
Starching and mercerization are the same because both improve the appearance of cotton.
