Fiber Sourcing & Preparation

Selection

Choose natural fibers (cotton, wool, silk) or synthetic materials (polyester, nylon).

Cleaning

Open bales and remove dust, dirt, and plant debris using blowroom machinery.

Stage 02 of 05

Yarn Production (Spinning)

Carding

Aligns fibers and removes remaining short bits or impurities.

Drawing & Combing

Blends and straightens fibers into a uniform strand called a sliver.

Roving & Spinning

Inserts slight twists and spins the material into a strong, continuous yarn.

Stage 03 of 05

Fabric Formation

Weaving

Interlaces two sets of yarn at right angles (warp and weft) on a loom.

Knitting

Interlocks loops of yarn together to create stretchy, flexible fabrics.

Non-Woven

Bonds fibers together using heat, chemicals, or pressure without weaving.
