Broadwoven fabric mills operate large industrial looms to weave natural, synthetic, or blended fibers into wide-width fabric rolls. Operations may include yarn preparation, weaving, and in some cases chemical or heat finishing processes. Output is typically sold to apparel manufacturers, industrial product fabricators, or distributors rather than retail consumers.
