Velour ( Velvet ) Towel and Bathrobe Production

In this article, we will give you information about velvet towel and bathrobe production.

As we mentioned in our previous article on terry towel and bathrobe manufacturing, cotton is the most preferred raw material in towel production due to its high water absorption and softness, as well as its dye acceptability and durability. In addition to cotton, natural threads such as bamboo and modal can be also preferred.

As in the production of terry towels and bathrobes, after the yarn bobbin, warp and sizing processes, the yarns become ready for the weaving stage. Unlike velvet fabric production, the size is softer. In addition, the woven construction of velvet fabric is different from the terry. Its density is set as minimum 18 and maximum 20 and reverse weaving is made.

In the dobby machines, it can be woven in plain, unpatterned or simple patterns such as stripes and cords on the towel, as well as polyester border, pile pattern, yarn dyed weaving on Jacquard looms.

After the weaving process, the fabric are taken into the first shaving process. One side of the fabric is shaved (cut). The fabric is ready for dyeing after the first shave.

Velvet towels and bathrobes also separate from terry towels and bathrobes during the dyeing process. While the terry fabrics are top dyed, velvet fabrics are dyed with pad batch. The reason is to prevent breakage and pile direction disorders that may occur in velvet fabric.

After the dyeing process, the fabric is sent as a roll to the second shave. Due to the turban process applied during the dyeing process, the piles puff out and unshaven piles appear in the 1st shave. Second shaving is done to obtain a smoother appearance. After the second shave, that soft velvet texture is obtained.

Finally, velvet towels and bathrobes production is completed with confection, cleaning, package and quality control processes.
