Fabric Preparation

You go through everything that happens to greige fabric before colour. You see why a rushed scour, a slack mercerising, or a heat setting ten degrees low is the hidden cause of dye faults nobody traces back.

Course value

What will you be able to do?

Work outcome

You can read a dye and finish route and predict what it will do to shade, fastness, shrinkage, and cost. You can judge a lab dip and a bulk shade against the agreed illuminant. And you can take a costed decision on a lot that has come out off-shade or off-hand.

Who it is for

Factory, supplier, brand and buying-office teams.

What you will produce

You build a preparation gate for one order. You read the mill's route card line by line and name the failure each parameter is holding back. You specify the four acceptance measurements with method, target, and frequency. And you cost two preparation decisions in dollars against the value of the lot.
