The Process
How is the Stone Washed achieved?
1. Priming
The raw fabric is cleaned, primed in a large vat, stabilised and dried.
2. Cutting
The fabric is then cut into panels, which are washed to allow for warping and pre-shrinking.
3. Construction
The garments are then cut and stitched with a specially treated cotton thread, so the threads and garments take the dye uniformly.
4. Dyeing
The garments are dyed in garment form with reactive dyes in a large vat.
5. Washing with Stones or GOTS Chemicals
The garments are put into a cylindrical drum which contains stones of different sizes. This is then rotated, causing the stones to rub against the garment, causing the abrasion of colour on the fabric. On a second method, GOTS certified chemicals are added to the vat with the dyed garments, abrading the of colour of the fabric. This is part of our closed loop zero discharge process, which means there is zero discharge of hazardous chemicals in our fabrics processing plant.
