The first step in the processing and conversion of jute fiber into fabric    
                                       at the mill is to blend various qualities and grades of jute to prepare a 
                                       suitable  batch  to obtain uniformity in strength and colour and give the
                                       precise quality of yarn required for spinning. The batch is then fed into a    
                                       softener to render it thoroughly pliant with the help of an emulsion of oil   
                                       and water. The softened jute goes to the preparing department for the 
                                       operations of carding and drawing. Carding reduces the average length
                                       of the fibers by teasing and combing and delivers them in the form of a 
                                       long continuous ribbon called sliver. The drawing machines draw out and
                                       attenuate the sliver, place the fibers parallel and, by means of a doubling
                                       process, produce a smoother and more even sliver. The slivers are spun
                                       into yarn which is wound on to spools or cops for use on the looms in 
                                       weaving various kinds of cloth. The finishing process includes damping 
                                       and calendaring, folding, cutting and bag-making, baling  in hydraulic 
                                       press and packing.
