<< previous step: knit | next step: cut >>

 

After the cloth is knit, it must be finished in order to wash out any particulate matter, bleach or dye it to a consistent color, shrink the fabric as much as possible, and soften the fabric to prevent any holes from being created during the sewing process.

 

CotC shirts are not dyed until the garment dye process, but are bleached white with hydrogen peroxide during the finishing process.

 

Finishers Involved:
