In this study, shirting fabrics were woven with weft threads produced from blends of recycled cotton fibers, original cotton fibers and original polyester fibers (100% original cotton, 100% recycled cotton, 35%/65% polyester/recycled cotton, 35%/65% polyester/original cotton, 50%/50% polyester/recycled cotton, 50%/50% polyester/original cotton). The produced fabrics were investigated in terms of fabric defects by using fabric quality control machines after wet treatment procedures have been carried out. The types and numbers of defects detected during quality control were recorded and graded according to Graniteville 78 Fabric Inspection System and were classified accordingly. All fabrics were evaluated in terms of fabric quality.
