The '''weaving division''' of [[Mohan Spintex India Limited]] (MSIL) weaves yarn from the [[Spinning division|spinning division]] into greige fabric – woven cloth that has not yet been bleached, dyed or finished. It operates 324 [[wikipedia:Air-jet loom|air-jet looms]] and produces about 15,00,000 metres of fabric a month.<ref name="msilhome">{{Ref msilhome}}</ref>

The looms are from the [[wikipedia:Picanol|Picanol]] Summum range, which in 2022 were reported to run at 1,100 rpm.<ref name="tm2022">{{Ref tm2022}}</ref> Greige fabric passes to the [[Processing division|processing division]] or is sold directly to customers.<ref name="msilhome" />

== Process ==
# '''Warping''' – thousands of yarn ends are wound in parallel onto a beam.
# '''Sizing''' – a protective coating is applied to the warp so it survives weaving.
# '''Drawing-in''' – each warp end is threaded through healds and reed, setting the pattern.
# '''Weaving''' – weft yarn is inserted across the warp by a jet of compressed air.
# '''Inspection''' – fabric is examined and faults are graded.

== Why air-jet ==
Air-jet looms insert the weft with compressed air rather than a shuttle or rapier. They are among the fastest weaving machines available and are well suited to the wide, lightweight cotton fabrics used for bed linen. Their main operating cost is compressed air, which makes compressor efficiency an important energy consideration.

== Fabric constructions ==
The division weaves [[wikipedia:Percale|percale]], [[wikipedia:Satin|sateen]], [[wikipedia:Twill|twill]], [[wikipedia:Damask|damask]], [[wikipedia:Dobby loom|dobby]] and [[wikipedia:Jacquard machine|jacquard]] constructions, in 100% cotton and blends.<ref name="tm2022" /> Warping and sizing machines from [[wikipedia:Karl Mayer|Karl Mayer]] were reported in 2022.<ref name="tm2022" />
