Introduction
Denim is a cotton or cotton/polyester blend, durable heavy weight
twill weave yarn dyed fabric. Usually the warp is colored and weft
is white. It is often right-hand twill with a blue (indigo) warp and
white weft for use in apparel in a variety of weights. Since it is a
warp faced twill, the colored warp yarns predominate on the face
and the white weft yarns on the back.
Denim quality criteria
• Minimum staple length- 2.7 cm
• Proportion of short fiber(<less then 12 mm long):
under 40%
• Micronaire value – 4 to 4.5
• Twist factor – 4.5 to 5( for warp) & 4.2 ( for weft)
• Count range: warp 50-90 tex & 75-120 tex
• Low yarn hairiness
• Yarn strength and uniformity
Types of yarn : rotor yarn , open end yarn, slub yarn, polyester and
elastomer yarn.

Ball warping
Ball warping is done for denim
production.
250 to 400 yarn ends are pulled from the
creel.
Rope dyeing
Typically 12-36 individuals
ropes of yarn are fed side by
side simultaneously into the
range.
Rope dyeing(cont.)
• Dyeing process that is maintained as follows:
• Pure Indigo- Continuous Indigo Dyeing
• Bottoming- Sulphur(Bottom) & Indigo(Topping)
• Topping- Indigo(Bottoming) & Sulphur (Topping)
• Black Denim-Continuous Sulphur Black Dyeing

sizing
The purpose of sizing is to increase the strength of yarn through chemically binding the
fibers with each other. The main object of sizing warp yarns is also to encapsulate the yarn
with a protective coating which reduces yarn abrasion that takes place during the weaving
operation and reduces yarn hairiness preventing adjacent yarns from entangling with one
another at the weaving machine

Sizing (cont.)
• Viscosity of the size solution
• Sizing machine speed
• Size add-on levels
• Concentration of the size mixture
• Volume of the size box (both quantity and size
level)
Weaving
Design used in denim :
3/1 R.H.T Or L.H.T
4/1 R.H.T Or L.H.T
4/1 Satin
5/1 R.H.T Or L.H.T
2/1 R.H.T Or L.H.T
Types of fabric
Normal Fabric = 6 OE * 6 OE / 66 * 35
Ring Fabric = 6, 9, 12 * 7 OE / 66 * 35
Half Cross Fabric = 6 slub * 7 OE / 66 * 35
Cross Latch Fabric = 10 slub * 10 slub / 66
* 35
Weaving( cont.)
Air jet and rapier loom used for denim fabric production.
Finishing
In general, before marketing, all the process which is applied on the fabric after
weaving is called finishing.
The following types of finishes are applied to the denim fabric:
• Singeing
• Softening
• Skew control
• Desizing
• Mercerizing
• Sanforizing
• Calendering
• Resin finishing
Skew fault
SANFORIZING: To protect from residual shrinkage.
