2 Loom Finished Linen
This term indicates that the cloth has been made of yarns that have been bleached as much as intended prior to weaving, and that no further treatment of that nature is given to the cloth after weaving. The warp yarns are usually bleached half-white or three-quarter white and weft yarns three-quarter or full white and the finishing after weaving is cropping, damping and calendering or mangling before making-up.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Loom Finished Linen
