Manufacturing refers to the final step of production. It is also known as the cutting, making, trimming (CMT) industry. Labelling and final packaging are also covered at this step. This includes different kinds of products like garments, home-textiles, carpets, hygiene products, combined products, etc. The manufacturing operation may include elements like assembling, fabric marking, stitching, ironing, sorting, balling, filling/stuffing, etc.

Confection

Cotton is the most widely used natural fibre in the textile industry.The cotton industry is worth over $50 billion a year and five countries, namely China, India, the US, Pakistan and Brazil – produce the majority of the roughly 26 million tonnes of cotton harvested each year.economic disaster for the cotton farmers.

India alone produces 25% of the world’s cotton, sustaining the livelihoods of 5.8 million farmers, the majority of whom are small-scale farmers cultivating land less than 2 hectares in size.

Cotton farming

For cotton, ginning is the first processing stage, at which seeds are removed from cotton bolls. Other examples are retting for bast fibres (like flax, hemp, jute, kenaf, ramie, etc.). Among animal fibres, boiling and washing cocoons for silk is the first step. For wool, scouring is the first step. If grading of wool is not covered by the organic farming certification, grading would be the first processing step.

Ginning

Spinning is the processing stage at which fibres are converted into yarns, usually with the help of twisting and drawing. Worsted spinning and cotton spinning employ different kinds of machinery in yarn preparation; furthermore, there is ring spinning and open-end spinning. Sometimes, synthetic fibres are blended with natural fibres at the spinning stage, as well. Comber noil may become a raw material for spinning of open-end yarns in some cases.

Spinning

Knitting and Weaving

Wet-Processing is the processing stage at which textile substrate is treated with colourants and/or chemicals. This includes sizing, desizing, pre-treatment, dyeing, printing (including digital printing), finishing, laundry, etc. Non-woven manufacturing, using hydro entanglement, is also a wet-processing step.
