Solution

Singeing finish involves burning free projecting fibre ends from the surface of the cloth.

Explanation:

This is a preparatory textile finishing process where loose, protruding, or fuzzy fiber ends are quickly burned off the surface of a fabric or yarn. The cloth passes rapidly over gas flames or heated metal plates, charring away the surface fuzz without scorching the base fabric. This results in a highly smooth, clean finish that prepares the fabric for successful dyeing, printing, and pill resistance.
