Gray/Greige Cloth

The correct spelling for gray cloth is "greige" (but, pronounced as "gray", the color, is). Greige goods is the term used for fabrics before they are printed or piece-dyed. The quality of greige goods can vary and thus, can affect the outcome of the dye or print job and overall "hand" of the fabric purchased at the retail or garmet-manufacturing level. Greige goods is the common name for fabrics that are taken direct from the weaven or knitting machine. They are not given any finishing what so ever.
