Barré is a term used in textile, which is an unintentional, repetitive visual pattern of continuous bars and stripes usually parallel to the filling of woven fabric.Barre can be caused by physical, optical or dye differences in the yarns; geometric differences in the fabric structure, or by any combination of these differences. The varied and diverse causes of barre can be summed up in one word -- inconsistency. Once a cause of barre is identified, steps can be taken to minimize or eliminate barre problems, thus resulting in the production of higher quality cotton fabrics.
