With a view to select reeds for weaving different fabrics, the nature of dependence of fabric streakiness on uneven dent spacing of reeds has been studied exhaustively. Ratings of Moire patterns of a large number of reeds and the fabrics woven-dyed and finished-from these reeds show that fabric streakiness increases linearly with unevenness in dent spacing of reeds. For medium and heavy fabrics, an increase in cloth cover factor accompanied by an increase in warp cover factor reduces fabric streaks. Lighter fabrics in which the warp cover factor is below 12 do not show such a trend. Changes in weft cover factor in the range studied-9 to 14-do not influence fabric streakiness. For any given quality of reeds and warp cover factor, the fabric streakiness is higher for the drawing order of 4 ends per dent than that for 2 and 3 ends per dent. Between 2 and 3 ends per dent, the difference in the appearance of streaks is small.
