The cotton is spun into yarn and then dyed indigo. The yarn is spread out onto a cylinder beam for warping, and then ‘size’ (a stiffening agent) is put on it for stability during weaving. The beam is then taken to the loom for weaving. After weaving, the fabric is ‘desized’, treated for shrinkage control, preskewed and put on rolls. Before leaving the factory, every piece of denim must meet the stringent quality standards for width, weight, tensile and tear strength, shrinkage and response to the stone-washing process.
