Causes of  

Barrie effect , ( Dye variation in knitted fabric)

1. Consistency in mic variation within and between bales, should be below 0.4 - 0.5
2. From the mixing itself we have to decide no of bales / lot, it is also play a important roll.  If mixing
starts with 3 bales / lot , then you have to continue the same, in case if you increase more than 3 bales
to 6 in many lots, then also barriness can occur.
3. Any introduction if new state in middle of mixing from 4% to 9 %,,,then sure barriness will appear
4. Introduction of any Merchant / traders cotton in middle of running mixing. ( Generally  we are buying
cotton from Ginners directly ). As we are not aware cotton cultivated from which station.
5. FiFo in all stage from carding to simplex bobbin
6. If any UN conditioned yarn Vs steam conditioned yarn mix up, also can cause patta
7. If lot to lot yarn mixed at Garment manufacturing side also , barriness  will appear. Though it is same
continuous lot production.
8. If varying noil % from 0.5% to 2%, also can cause patta
9. Barrines can be created by knitting machine also, if more yarn tension variation.
10. Eccentricity in knitting cam also can cause patta...its knitting machine to machine variations
11. Mix up of too much life exceeds needles ( exceed 70 - 80 Mt) vs brand new needles also can cause
patta
12. Also we can eliminate it temporarily during knitting process , if you creel the 96 cones in Horizontal
I/O vertical creeling in knitting machine.
