ABSTRACT
Textile can be a fascinating term to mankind because of aspects such as colour, texture, design and comfort involved in its usage. The use of textiles by humans began with the identification of fibre, which dates back to prehistoric times. Such textiles are available in different forms for various end-uses like apparel, home textiles, and technical textiles. Here comes the necessity for testing of these textiles so as to ensure the quality of the product. Testing can be carried out at different stages, beginning from the raw material – fibre, and the subsequent intermediaries such as yarn, fabric – grey and processed stages, and finally, the garment.
