Weaving
Weaving involves the interlacing of the warp and weft threads to produce a piece of fabric using a loom. The weft thread is carried along the width of the machine by a shuttle as the warp threads are lifted in an alternate fashion producing the weave effect.

Mending
Carried out before the final stage of fabric finishing, mending is a manual process involving the removal of any knots or weaving faults by hand.

Scouring
Scouring involves the washing of fabric to remove any oil, dirt or impurities. The fabric is repeatedly immersed and squeezed within a tank of hot water until it is clean.

Tenter
A tenter is an open width fabric finishing machine used for drying and setting the width of finished cloth. Fabric selvedges are held by a pair of chains to maintain tension whilst the cloth is dried and set to width. It is from this process that the expression "on tenterhooks" is derived, because the fabric selvedges are held by a pair of chains/hooks as the fabric goes through the process.

Pressing
Fabric is fed through a large machine between steam rollers that iron out any creases in the fabric.

Inspection
Fabric is passed over a large drawing board, manually checked for any defects, and then automatically rolled back onto the roll. If any defects are spotted, the fabric is sent to the burling department for correction.

Packaging
Packaging is applied automatically to the finished roll of fabric, after it has been barcoded, to protect it during transportation.
