Fabric Knitting Cost/price
Learn Apparel Merchandising.
Today I'm posting a price list of circular knit fabric in total 63 option. I collect this price list from a very large knitting factory
which is situated at Jamirdia, Masterbari, Valuka, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. It's name NRG. All the prices of this list
in Bangladeshi taka (per kg). You can easily convert it to US$ dollar by dividing with 72 to 75. Because current dollar
conversion rate is moving in between 72 to 75 taka. That's mean US $1 = 72 taka.
Pls e-mail me if you are still unclear. Thanks.

Dear All,
My this post for these people, who's are still confused regarding the CM (cost of making) of a knit items (garments). To
find out the CM of a item you must need the following 06 (six) information at first, as listed below:
i) Monthly total expenditure of your factory with factory rent, commercial cost, electricity bill, water
bill, transportation, repairing, worker & stuff wages etc. (8hrs/day) in bangla taka. Suppose - 50,00,000/- tk
ii) Qty of running Machine of your factory of the following month (which total expenditure we have consider
here). Suppose - 100 machines
iii) Number of machine to complete the layout for the following Items (which CM we are calculating). Suppose - 25
machines
iv) Production target/capacity of the following items, per hour from the existing layout, excluding alter &
reject. Suppose - 200 pcs per hour
v) Total working day of the followings month,(though the house rent,commercial expenses,machine overhauling & some
other cost remain same)Suppose- 26 days.
vi) If you want to calculate the CM in US$ (dollar) then pls input present dollar conversation rate BDTk. Suppose - $1 =
74 taka.
COST OF MAKING (CM)
= {(Monthly total expenditure of the following factory / 26) / (Qty of running Machine of your factory of
the following month) X (Number of machine to complete the layout)} / [{(Production capacity per hr
from the existing layout, excluding alter & reject) X 8}] X 12 / (Dollar conversion rate)

How we produce Yarn from cotton?
Dear all,
The yarn making process is a very complicated process. So many things are related with this yarn producing process. Moreover, various kinds of yarn are producing
everyday all over the world.
These yarns can be divided by the types of raw materials which we used for making the yarn.
Such as
100% cotton yarn.
CVC yarn (In this type of yarn the combination of cotton of polyester can be varied depending on the buyer requirement. such as - 65% cotton + 35%
polyester, 60% cotton + 40% Polyester etc. Also mainly in this type of yarn the cotton part is always remain greater than the Polyester). CVC mean cheap value
cotton.
PC yarn (In this type of yarn the cotton part is always remain less than the Polyester). PC means Polyester cotton.
Grey Mlange yarn. In this type yarn we used a mixer of cotton & viscose. The percentage of cotton & viscose may vary depends on the requirement of
buyer. Such as - 85% cotton + 15% viscose (Dark Grey Mlange), 90% cotton + 10% viscose (Grey Mlange), 95% cotton + 5% viscose ( Light Grey
Mlange), 98% cotton + 2% viscose (Ecru Mlange) etc. Please note that if we increase the percentage of viscose then the yarn shade also will become dark
accordingly. The percentage also can be 80% cotton + 20% viscose. So, if your buyer asked you for Grey mlange fabric then you must confirm it from them that,
which percentage of viscose actually they looking for. The yarn price of Grey Mlange is higher than normal cotton yarn. Please always be aware about one thing
that, the fabric which knitted by grey mlange yarn is not need to dyeing. Also fabric properties of cotton & grey mlange are almost same. So, we can used same
care instruction for both (cotton & g.melange) type of fabric.
Other than these, many more kinds of yarn are producing in this textile world. Such as Bamboo yarn, Organic cotton yarn etc.
Combed Yarn
Carded Yarn
Rotor Yarn
Slav yarn
Yarn is also labeled by their thickness. The unit of this is count. The count number of yarn will increase according to the reduce of yarn thickness. Yarn price also
increase according to increased of count number. 40 count yarns are thinner than the 36 count yarn. Some common yarn count:
20 count, 22 count, 24 count, 26 count, 28 count, 30 count, 32 count, 34 count, 36 count, 40 count.
Normally we used these yarn counts for knit fabrics.
Few days ago I visited a spinning factory to let it know that, how the yarn is producing from cotton. This spinning factory only produced 100% cotton carded yarn.
Here, I will describe you the yarn producing process step by step with image and video. Thanks!
Please find below a flow chart for 100% cotton carded yarn.
1st Step: For producing the yarn at first we need to setup a spinning factory. The production capacity of this spinning factory will be depends on our requirement.
2nd Step: Cotton purchasing by import or from local market. Then store the cotton separately based on its origin, quality & fiber length etc.
3rd Step: Blow room section In this section the cotton goes under several treatment or operations. Such as- Fiber opening, Cleaning, Dust Removal, Blending
etc.
4th Step: Carding section After end of the blow room process the cotton comes in the carding section. The cotton comes automatically in these carding machines
by pipe. A spinning factory has several carding machine. Two proverbs of the experts - "the carding is the heart of the spinning mill" and "well carded is half spun"
5th Step: 1st Drawing From the carding machine we got Sliver. The breaker drawing (1st drawing) machine makes even the sliver by doubling process.
6th Step: 2nd Drawing After finished the process of 1st drawing by the finisher drawing (2nd drawing) machine we make the sliver more even (as much as
possible.)
7th Step: Simplex This machine produce roving from finisher sliver for make yarn.
8th Step: Ring Frame This machine produce the count wise yarn from roving.
9th Step: Auto Cone Winding is the main process of this machine. This auto coner machine make cone from the ring bobbin.
10th Step: Packing After get the yarn cone from auto coner we packed these cone for sale or delivery to the knitting factory.

Dyeing process of Lycra Single Jersey Fabric
Learn Apparel Merchandising,
1st step: After receive the grey fabric from knitting section in tube form, in dyeing section, at first we slit the fabric with
slitting machine.
2nd Step: Then we heat set the stilted fabric with stenter machine for avoiding the creased mark. And also for the Dia
& Grey GSM fixing.
Dyeing the fabric (in the winch)Option A) If the dyeing factory has high pressure dyeing machine (winch) then we should dye the fabric in open width.
Option B) If the dyeing factory has normal dyeing winch then we should back sewing the open fabric to make it tube again.
3rd Step: Scouring (detergent wash) the fabric in the dyeing winch and released the water for perform the next
process.
4th Step: Labeling the fabric by labeling agent which increased the PH of fabric.
6th Step: Mixing the specific color (reagent) for dye the fabric. Or if fabric color is white then we
used brightener chemical in this step. And step 06 is not requiring for white color fabric.
9th Step: Stentering (heat setting) for adjust the Dia. For this again stentering we called it double heat settings.
Now the fabric is ready for cutting. Please test the Shrinkage, Color shade, Gsm before start cutting.
Hope, it will be helpful for all of you

Calculate the Price of a Carton.
Dear All,
From this post you will learn how to calculate the price of a
carton. For these you need the following 04 (four)
information at first, as listed below:
i. Carton length in cm of your expected carton.
ii. Carton width in cm of your expected carton.
iii. Carton height in cm of your expected carton.
iv. Rate of per square meter liner in US$.
In this regards pls note that, in present market the liner rate is +/- $0.75 to $0.83 which may
changed any time. Also it is depend on the liner quality. One things more regarding the carton ply
I will explain you later.
So, now just put the following information and get your carton price.
Otherwise you may follow the below rules.
Say,
The length of carton is = 60
The width of carton is = 40
The height of carton is = 30
Price for 7 ply liner rate = $0.80/ Sqm (square meter)

CALCULATION OF GSM
Dear All,
GSM means the weight in gram per square meter of fabric.GSM is a very important parameter for specified a certain
quality of knitted fabric. The production of knitted fabric is calculated in weight. The GSM cutter is very popular and
easy usable GSM testing instrument used in most knitted factory. But the construction of this cutter is very simple. It is
circular disk of 100 square cm area with sharp blade attached to its edge. So 100 square cm of fabric can easily cut by it
and weighted at the electric balance to get GSM reading.
There are two formulas for calculating the GSM of a knitted fabric
In order to determine the stitch length, we count 100 no Wales or stitch and count its length by hanging the yarn on the
stitch counter. The reading is found in mm unit.
MEASUREMENT OF YARN COUNT:
We have fallowed a different way to find out the count of the yarn. At first we unravel a considerable no yarn from the
fabric. Then we measured the total length of the yarn and measured the weight of that no of yarn. From these weights,
we find out the count of the yarn.
The equation we followed is as follow:
N x L x 453.6
Count = ---------------Wt x 36 x 840
Where,
N = number of yarn in bundle.
L = length of yarn.
Wt = weight of yarn.
Another formula is the following:
Ks x Tex
GSM = --------------------Stitch length (mm)
Where,
Ks is a constant. Its value is different for different fabric structure and fabric type. Ks is calculated and estimated as
below:
GSM x Stitch length
Ks = ----------------------------Tex

Costing tips for the knit Ite
Dear All,
In my post I will explain you some points which is very important for quote prices
Before start costing
1)
Fabrication: You must take clear idea regarding the fabrication before taking the order from the buyer / buying house. After
then, you must ensure that, you have strong source of the followings fabric.
2)
Size spec: Make sure that, you have got the correct/latest size spec with the measurement of all the sizes, which will be
ordered. Many times we see that, PO sheet has come with new bigger size which was not during the costing.
3)
Fabric color: Try to know that, how many colors the style has & also try to know that, color wise order qty ratio.
4)
5)
Shipment date: Asked buyer for the shipment date & check with your production department that, they have enough space
for shipped out the followings qty within the require ship date Or tell your possible date.
6)
Test requirement: Let you know that, the order has any test or not.
7)
L/c payments term: Take a previous l/c copy from them & discuss with your commercial people regarding all the terms along
with payment terms. For more details Click here
8)
Inspection: Pls get a confirmation from the buyer that, who will inspected the goods. If third party then who will pay their
charges.
9)
GSP: Pls confirm that, buyer has need the GSP or not.
Calculating Fabric Consumption
1)
Body Consumption: Calculate the body fabric consumption at first. If possible calculate it after make the pattern. Be
confirmed regarding the dia. Calculate the consumption with adding + 5 gsm extra which fabric is sells in kg (s/j, pique, rib etc).
Or reduce 2 (in width) from the both side which are in yards (tricot, taffeta etc). Moreover, if the garments are wash garments
then make sure that, the pattern has the wash allowance.
2)
Rib: Calculate the rib consumption carefully because sometimes the garments have rib at cuff opening & bottom hem. Some
people mistakenly do the consumption considering one cuff.
3)
4)
5)
