- Stone washing
Stone washing is a textiles manufacturing process typically utilized by the fashion industry, in order to give a newly-assembled cloth garments a worn-out appearance. Stone-washing also helps to increase the softness and flexibility of otherwise stiff and rigid fabrics such as
canvas anddenim .The process does literally use large stones to roughen up the fabric being processed. The garments are placed in a large horizontal industrial
clothes washer that is also filled with large rocks. As the wash cylinder rotates, the cloth fibers are repeatedly pounded and beaten as the tumbling stones ride up the paddles inside the drum and fall back down onto the fabric.Stone washing is similar in operation to a
ball mill , except that this is a wet process.Stonewashed jeans
