Greige goods

[13] Greige goods are unfinished fabrics that come out directly from a loom or a knitting machine.

[14] Greige materials are scoured (to clean) and sometimes bleached (to remove natural color) before dyeing and printing.

[25] Because of the presence of natural pigment, wool has a slight yellow tint,[26] though the color is undesirable and is removed during the pre-treatment processes of scouring and bleaching.

The fugitive tint is readily removable during subsequent wet processing treatments.

[30][31] Since the textile industry still works in a fragmented way, the greige goods are also sold for further processing at different units.

[36] RFD multifiber that is composed of various fibers is used in testing of washing fastness for cross staining.
