[EXISTING BLOG CONTENT] Frequently Asked Questions About Shrinkage Control What causes fabric shrinkage? Shrinkage occurs due to residual stress in yarn fibers and relaxation of the fabric structure during washing. Heat, moisture, and mechanical agitation (tumbling) trigger the release of this stress. Untreated knit fabrics can shrink 5-15% without proper shrinkage control measures. How do

A: The most frequent defects are dropped stitches (runs or ladders), holes from broken yarn, thick/thin places from yarn count variation, needle lines from damaged needles, and oil stains from machine lubrication. Each is detectable at inline fabric inspection — which
Frequently Asked Questions Q: What colorfastness rating should I expect on black and navy knitted garments? A: Black and navy are the hardest shades to achieve high fastness on. A well-dyed black cotton knit should achieve wash fastness of 4–4.5 and rub fastness of 3.5–4. Anything below 3.5 on rub fastness for dark shades is
Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is the main difference between batch dyeing and continuous dyeing? A: Batch dyeing processes one lot of fabric at a time in a closed machine — the fabric and dye bath interact repeatedly until the dye exhausts onto the fibre. Continuous dyeing passes fabric through a series of open troughs
