textile mill
A facility for the manufacture of cloths and similar pliable sheets from raw materials.
A textile mill is a place where natural fibers or similar substances are spun, woven, knitted, or otherwise formed into cloths, rugs, or similar sheets. Dyeing and patterning of textiles is also carried out in textile mills.
The output is cloth, rugs, or similar pliable sheets made from fibers or comparable substances. Spinning, weaving, and knitting are included production activities.
Dyeing and patterning can also be textile-mill operations. Production of completed garments is distinguished as clothing manufacturing.
