Barré (fabric)
Barré is an unintentional repetitive horizontal pattern in fabrics that is generally undesirable and considered as a defect. It appears as a lateral stripe pattern. Barré occurs for many reasons associated with the manufacturing of textile ensembles like fiber, yarn, fabric manufacturing, weaving or knitting, or finishing faults.[1][2]
Reasons[edit]
Barre or barrenness is a repetitious pattern in the course direction in knitted fabrics, It may involve color differences in the yarn and geometrical variations in fabric manufacturing forming the barre patterns.[2] In knits the variation of stitch length can also cause the barre.[3]
Improper mixing of fibers can also be a reason for the barre.[4] In blends like polyester and cotton, the reason may be dyeing also.[5]
