How is corduroy fabric made?

The production processes used to make corduroy vary depending on the types of materials used. Cotton and wool are derived from natural plant and animal sources respectively, for instance, and synthetic fibers like polyester and rayon are produced in factories.
Once textile manufacturers have acquired one or more types of yarn, however, corduroy fabric production follows a universal set of steps:
1. Weaving
Most types of corduroy fabric feature plain weaves, which consist of weft threads that alternate over and under warp threads. It’s also possible to make corduroy using a twill weave, but this approach is less common. Once the primary weave is complete, textile manufacturers add a “pile thread,” which will be cut to form corduroy’s characteristic ridges.
2. Glueing
Glue is applied to the back of the woven fabric to ensure that the pile yarn does not pull through during the cutting process. Textile producers remove this glue later in production.
3. Cutting of pile yarn
Textile manufacturers then use an industrial cutter to sever the pile yarn. This yarn is then brushed and singed to produce soft, uniform ridges.
4. Dyeing
To produce a unique, irregular pattern, textile manufacturers can pigment-dye completed corduroy fabric. The pattern that this dyeing process produces becomes more accentuated as it is washed, providing one of the most visually appealing facets of corduroy fabric.
