6.6. Shade control. Shade control of those shades dyed on fabrics in the 16-ounce and
lighter weight construction is critical and the contractor is accordingly cautioned to exercise
special care in color matching such shades (see 3.4).
6.7 Finish. The finish of this cloth is critical and the contractor is accordingly cautioned to
insure that the amount of twist in the yarns and the subsequent setting and dry finishing of the
fabric are adequately controlled to preclude the possibility of movement of the fiber to the
fabric surface during wear, thus increasing the degree of cover beyond that shown by the
standard sample (see 6.4).
