Cleaning: The fabric is processed with a natural amylase enzyme, similar to the natural enzymes found in saliva, to remove the wheat starch that was applied to the textile during the weaving process to minimize fluctuations in sizing;Singeing: The starch-free fabric is then passed over and under a very small flame at high speed. This burns off fibers protruding from the fabric surface, leaving it smooth and minimizing pilling.
Washing: The fabric is washed with biodegradable soap. Softening: Before being dyed, sodium hydroxide is applied to the fabric as it is stretched. This powerful cleaning agent makes the yarn rounder and more lustrous, stronger and more receptive to dyes.
Whitening: White and dyed fabrics are then whitened with hydrogen peroxide. (Natural-colored fabrics skip the whitening/dyeing process.)
Dyeing: We use low-impact, fiber-reactive dyeing in all our products. Our dyes are very safe, GOTS certified and "low impact," which means that we use less water, less heat and produce less wastewater runoff than regular chemical dyeing processes. The bonding effect with this type of dye is greater and, therefore, more environmentally friendly
Smoothing: The fabric is smoothed between highly polished steel rollers. This is a process done mainly to satin weave fabrics to create sheen on the fabric surface.
Preshrinking: Finally, the fabric is Sanforized, a mechanical process that uses steam and rubber rollers moving in opposite directions to preshrink the fabric.

Spa Wrap Bathrobes
We make thick and super-absorbent towels and bathrobes that your customers will love to buy for their luxurious softness. Different finishing is available on towels and weights go from 350 to 420 GSM. Our long staple cotton can also be woven to make waffle textures for towels and bathrobes or knit into velour, interlock or plush terry to create a soft silky feel and promote maximum absorbency.
Selection of towels and bathrobe materials:
Velour: Like the grandest spa wrap, a velour robe is a sumptuous pairing of plush terry on the inside and silky velour outside. Thick and warm, it is at the top of the line in bathrobes.
Terry:Lighter than velour, making it ideal for cool climates and as a spa robe; it is none-the-less plush and super absorbent.
Interlock:Cool and comfy, in 190 GSM jersey interlock, the smooth texture is comfortable next to the skin and the interlocked knit provides stretch for added comfort. Ideal for warm climates and everyday wear.
Waffle weave: When terrycloth robes seem too thick, too heavy, or too warm, waffle weave bathrobes are like an excellent choice. Thinner and lighter than terry, the waffle fabric with its crisscrossing texture is great for warm climates and it’s quick drying.
The first stage is in the opening room. Here, bales are opened and laid in a line on the floor, side by side, near a cotton opening machine. This machine travels along the line of opened bales, pulling fibers to be sent to a mixing machine and then on to the carding system.
Carding is the process of pulling the fibers into parallel alignment to form a thin web. High speed electronic
equipment with wire toothed rollers perform this task. The web of fibers is eventually condensed into a continuous, untwisted, rope- like strand called a sliver
These slivers then continue to a combing machine. Here, the fibers shorter than half-inch and
impurities are removed from the cotton. This process makes the sliver smoother so more uniform yarns can be produced. The drawing or pulling of this sliver is next.
The sliver is drawn out to a thinner strand and given a slight twist to improve strength, then wound on bobbins
(spools wound with the thread-like product for storage). Having completed this process, it is now called roving. The roving bobbins are now ready for the spinning process.
