Subject Name: Fabric Manufacturing Techniques- II
w. e. f. Academic Year: 2024-25
Semester: 4
Category of the Course: PCC
Prerequisite: Students should have knowledge of basics of textile and preparatory processes for
warp and weft yarns meant for weaving.
Rationale: Warping and sizing is very important machines for Warp beam which is use for
weaving process and Weaving is one of the important methods of fabric
formation. The main device for making woven fabric, loom, has undergone
developments from non automatic to automatic looms.
