What is brushing & raising?
Brushing or raising is the process of mechanically agitating the surface of a fabric using rapidly rotating wire covered rollers to provide a woolly / furry surface. The level of this from a light suede to a high fuzzy effect is determined by the machine settings, material characteristics and pre treatments.
