Description
"Greige" (but, pronounced as "gray", the color, is). Greige fabric is the term used for fabrics before they are printed or piece-dyed. The quality of greige goods can vary and thus, can affect the outcome of the dye or print job and overall "hand" of the fabric purchased at the retail or garment manufacturing level. Greige fabric is the common name for fabrics that are taken direct from the weaving or knitting machine. The gray fabric, woven cotton fabric in its loom-state, not only contains impurities, including warp size but requires further treatment in order to develop its full textile potential.
