BA wool

Wool originating from Argentina.

Baby flannel

A lightweight flannel used for children's garments.

Back (fabric)

The reverse of a fabric as opposed to the face.

Back (weft-knitted fabric)

A fabric consisting wholly of knitted loops which are all meshed in the same direction.
Note: The fabric may also be described as single jersey, plain web or stockinette. The appearance may be described with reference to the surface of the structure:
(i) face; technical face: the surface of a plain weft-knitted fabric that consists wholly of face loops;
(ii)back; technical back: the surface of a plain weft-knitted fabric that consists wholly of back loops;
(iii)effect side: the surface of the fabric intended to be used outermost on a garment or other construction; and
(iv) reverse side: the surface opposite to the effect side.

Back beam

A beam from which the warp is fed during sizing.

Back crossing heald

A form of weaving in which warp threads are made to cross one another between the picks.
Note 1: The simpler types of lightweight fabric produced by this method of weaving are known as 'gauze'.
Note 2.. It may be necessary to use:
(i) an caser motion to control the tension of the crossing ends during the formation of the crossed shed;
(ii) a shakes. motion to provide a partial lift to the standard lieald to bring the threads approximately level and thus facilitate crossing.
Note 3.. In simple ]cello weaving, one thread, generally called a crossing or leno end, L (see Fig. 1), is caused to lift alternately on one side and then on the opposite side of the other thread, usually referred to as the standard end, G, so as to produce 'crossed' or 'open' sheds. If the standard end is lifted a 'plain shed' (occasionally referred to as an 'ordinary shed') is formed.Healds B and C (B working in conjunction with A on certain picks) are responsible for the operations of crossing and lifting thread L relative to thread G. A suitable name for B is front crossing heald, and for C, back crossing heald, with D referred to as the standard heald and A as the doup.

Back grey

1.Fabric used on a roller printing machine between the blanket and the fabric to be printed, sometimes known as the face fabric, in order to:
(i) absorb any printing paste that percolates through the printed fabric, or
(ii) to impart resilience to the face fabric allowing sharper prints.
2. Fabric used in screen printing to support light weight, open weave fabrics to be printed in order to maintain stability (e.g., prevent curling) of the face fabric. The back grey and face fabric are gummed together prior to the combined fabric itself being gummed to the printing table conveyor belt.
Note: Synthetic-polymer fibre fabrics can be gummed to the back grey to prevent slipping. (See also bump grey.)

Back loop

A knitted loop i-neshed through the previous loop towards the back of the fabric (away from the viewer).(sub Category of Knitted Loop)

Back loop(weft knitting)

A knitted loop meshed through the previous loop towards the back of the fabric (away from the viewer).

Back rack

A frame behind a narrow fabric weaving machine, which holds the warps and their tensioning devices.

Back rack

A frame behind a narrow fabric weaving machine, which holds the warps and their tensioning devices.

Back rail

The bar, rail, or roller at the back of a loom over which the warp threads from the beam pass.

Back rest

The bar, rail, or roller at the back of a loom over which the warp threads from the beam pass.

Back rise

The distance, measured along the surface of a bifurcated garment, from the crotch to the centre back of the waistline. (See also front rise.)

Back standard

A form of weaving in which warp threads are made to cross one another between the picks.
