Spanish term

Marras

Spanish to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion Production of fabric
The text very handily gives a definition (below), which I understand, but I have no idea what the correct word is in English! It is to do with a type of defect in the fabric when it is produced.

"Defecto generado en la hilandería y es una parte delgada larga o corta gruesa en la hilaza (Defectos Classimat S, L, ó T) y van en el tejido en sentido de la trama provocando asi un problema grave de apariencia en la tela"

Just as additional context and so as not to get confused between them, the definition of another type of defect called "Hilos" is defined thus"Este defecto es generado principalmente en la hilandería donde se presenta una parte delgada larga (Classimat tipo L) o una parte gruesa corta (Classimat tipo S) y en el tejido forman los hilos de urdimbre"

This document originates in Colombia.

Any textile experts out there to point me in the right direction?

Thanks

weftway thickening or thinning

Weftway thickening is known as "slub" but there seems to be no specific term for weftway thinning. So "thickening or thinning" seems the most consistent.

weftway/weftwise = "in the weft direction".

agree Janice Giffin : Perhaps your succinct explanation is best.

Yarn Irregularities/Defects

"Marras" seems to be a general term that includes neps, slubs, and many other defects. This places are referred to as "thin places".
Peer comment(s):

neutral DLyons : The two definitions are distinguishing the warp and weft.//Yes, I've seen thin/thick pick but am not clear whether that refers to something slightly different???

I see what you mean. I have found "thin pick" for yarn fault, but no term that covers both irregularities.

Most defects in cloth occur while it is woven on the loom. Some of these fabric defects are visible, while others are not. Again some fabric defects may be rectified during weaving and after weaving while others are not. Some common fabric defects are given below:
1. Broken Ends:
If a warp yarn is absent in the fabric for a very short or long distance and then this fabric defect is called broken ends.
2. Broken Picks:
If a weft yarn is absent in the fabric for a very short or long width, and then this fabric defect is called broken picks.
3. Floats:
It is a kind of defect where a warp or weft yarn floats over the fabric surface for a few centimetre lengths due to missing of interlacement of two series of yarns.
4. Weft Curling:
The weft curling is caused by inserting highly twisted, weft yarn or weft running too freely, causes twisted of weft yarn and appear on the surface of fabric.
5. Slubs:
When the weft yarn is unclean and contains slubs and its diameter is irregular, the defect appearing on the cloth is known as slubs.
6. Stitching:
It is a major defect particularly in good quality cloth. It is a common fabric fault in which the ends and the picks are not interlaced according to correct order of the pattern.
7. Irregular Pick Density:
If the pick density that is pick per inch varies due to mechanical fault then thick or thin place may be formed in the fabric.
8. Hairy Cloth:
The fibres in the yarn have been roughened before, during or after weaving.
9. Holes:
If there is any small holes present in the fabric and then it is a major fabric defect.
10. Oil Spot:
Oil Spot on the fabrics are caused by too much oiling on loom parts r from other sources. However, oil stains in most fabrics may be removed by scouring process.
11. Starting Mark:
The fault known as “Starting Place” in cloth/fabric are caused as a result of stopping and starting a loom. The fault appears width way of the fabric. There are some other faults which are visible after dyeing. Few common faults of these categories are mentioned below.
12. Shedding:
When a role of fabric is dyed, depth of shade of colour may vary from one place to another place along the length of the fabric is known as shedding.
13. White Spot:
If the grey fabric is made of cotton and in the cotton, polyester or other synthetic fibres is mixed to a negligible amount, after dyeing the polyester fibre remain white, showing white spot in the fabric.
14. Running Stripe Shedding:
In the solid colour dyed fabric sometime narrow stripe like colour shedding affect is observed due to dyeing fault is known as running stripe shading.
15. Collared Spot on Fabric:
Due to knots, neps, slubs etc., present in the fabric, after dyeing, those places appear as a collared spot.
