Of Fiber - Fabric Finishes
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A one-page article for handweavers on finishing fabric after it comes off the loom. It explains why greige goods need further work and describes three home finishing processes: shrinking (wet-finishing), fulling of wool by heat, detergent and pressure, and napping or gigging to raise the surface fibers. It ends with advice to test each method on a sample and to choose a finish according to how the fabric will be cared for.
