Sizing
SIZING
Cotton yarns are sized in order to lay down the projecting fibres and to enable the yarn to overcome the strain and friction of healds and reeds during weaving. Size is also added to many cloths to give more weight. Light Sizing is up to 10 per cent and adds from 3 to 5 per cent of weight. Cloths for dyeing or bleaching are usually light or pure sized. Medium Sizing - From 10 to 40 per cent of size is added. Drills, Jeans, China, and India shirtings, home trade domestics, and many other cloths are medium sized. Heavy Sizing - As much as 100 per cent of size or over can be added to a cloth, such as may be seen in many cloths for West Africa, East Africa, China, etc. There are three methods of sizing, namely, slasher, ball warp, and hank sizing. Each method is described under its own name.
