|
1. Faulty drawing-in of beam.

MISSING END
|
The fabric is characterised by a gap parallel to warp. It may be short one or running throughout the piece. The number of ends missing may be one or more than one. The fabric containing this defect when dyed will show up as gap and will be prominently visible. In pattern fabric, the pattern will be spoiled
|
1. The loom is not equipped with warp stop motion.
2. Drop Wires dirty. Accumulation of lint may prevent their dropping. 3. In electric warp stop motion, the electro bars are dirty or corroded. 4. The weaver is careless in not tying the end in time. |
