This paper is focused on change in shrinkage, GSM, Wales per Inch and Course per Inch due to structure and count variation and state variation. This work was carried out with 12 samples of single jersey, single lacoste and weft lock knit fabrics of different counts which were scoured with NaOH. After pretreatment process the samples were tested for widthwise shrinkage, width, GSM, Wales per Inch and Course per Inch and compared between different states like grey state and finished state. The result obtained in this research indicated that physical properties like structures with tuck stitch possess higher value of widthwise shrinkage, width, GSM and Wales per Inch and Course per Inch value lowers prominently in those structures having float or miss stitches. In both cases i.e. grey state and RFD state values of those properties are high in coarser yarn and low in finer yarn. During project knitted fabrics specification along with machine specification and major factors which are necessary to calculate different types of variation and variables on which the whole fabric construction depends were managed to watch carefully. Main efforts were to develop a dependable way so that the resulting fabric specifications with required configuration can be easily visualized and be forecasted. A great emphasization was provided to the adjustable points on which fabric GSM, stitch length, fabric width and shrinkage percentage directly or indirectly depends.

Now a days Garments defect is one of the most important factors of the apparel manufacturing industry because it creates a negative effect on actual productivity. This paper aims with Different types of Defects which are the common term in the garment industry. In this research we have found that it is very essential to know about different types of Garments Defects. In garments industry these defects are dependent upon the classification of defects and an inspector's ability to make decisions. If there is no idea of garments defects identification then it will be a tough job, but if it is known properly then it is an easy task to identify defects. So must know all types of Garments defects if we are involved with the apparel industry. It is the responsibility of the garments manufacturers to maintain a required Garments quality standard for each and every product they are offering or delivering to the buyers. After reading this project we have found that the idea about all types of garments defects like fabric defects, cutting & spreading defects, sewing defects and finishing defects.

The laser fading process is acknowledged as a very strong alternative compared to the conventional physical and chemical processes used for aged-worn look on denim fabrics. In this study, the beams from a CO 2 (10.6µm) laser was used for the fading of denim fabrics. In terms of both color and mechanical properties, it is found that 100 and 150µs pulse times are suitable for laser fading process of denim fabrics. This study aims that the effects of laser beam on denim fabrics were investigated and optimum process conditions were determined by tensile strength, tear strength, rubbing fastness of fabric. According to the observation from this project both tensile and tearing strength decreased (respectively on both warp and weft direction) and color fastness to rubbing was decreased in significant level comparison with both before and after fading effect of denim fabrics.

Dyestuffs Arjuna dye: Terminalia Arjuna generally called as Arjuna is one which contains large amount of bio-actives in its bark. Arjuna tree is found in Bangladesh, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal and central India. The bark of Arjuna contains large amount
