Dimensional stability affects cutting, sewing and garment performance. Learn what influences knit shrinkage and how to prepare fabric for production.
Read more →The right T-shirt fabric depends on the fit, season and feel you want. Compare cotton single jersey with a cotton–elastane blend and check the sample before production.
Read more →Choose a technical knit against the demands of the finished garment. Weight, stretch, recovery, abrasion, pilling and dimensional change all deserve testing.
Read more →Compare the feel, stretch and recovery of cotton jersey and cotton–elastane blends, then select a specification for the garment rather than by fibre content alone.
Read more →Learn how to read a textile certificate and check its scope. The certificate number and validity cited in this article have expired and must be verified before any current claim is made.
Read more →The right print process depends on the fabric, design, colour palette and production plan. Define the requirements and assess a sample before approving a run.
Read more →Start with the sweatshirt's fit and season, then compare loopback, brushed and diagonal sweatshirt fabrics by weight, composition, rib trim and behaviour after washing.
Read more →Weight in g/m² is only one part of a fabric specification. Compare it with construction, composition, width, finishing and sample performance for the intended garment.
Read more →Loopback offers a defined, versatile reverse, while brushing creates a softer and warmer surface. Compare construction, weight, season and wash performance before choosing.
Read more →Interlock is a smooth, compact double-knit structure that is usually more stable than single jersey. Learn what to check when considering it for children's and everyday clothing.
Read more →Choose single jersey for the finished product, not by weight alone. Compare cotton and cotton–elastane options, then check stability, finishing and behaviour after washing.
Read more →We returned from the March edition of Fast Textile Fabrics with new conversations, project ideas and two awards recognising our knitted-fabric manufacturing and exhibition stand.
Read more →Merino can be considered for warm-weather collections, but performance depends on the fibre, construction, weight and finish. Review the evidence behind any technical or certification claim.
Read more →In March 2026, we presented knitted fabrics and production options at Fast Textile Fabrics in Ptak Expo Łódź. Here is a short look back at the event and our stand.
Read more →A golden amber can add warmth to a collection, but colour references and dye results should be checked against an approved physical sample and current technical information.
Read more →The Polish source presents Cloud Dancer as a 2026 colour direction. Treat trend and colour-library references as provisional until checked against the relevant current source and a physical standard.
Read more →A fabric decision affects garment appearance, production handling and consistency. Compare samples against the finished product and agree measurable requirements before ordering.
Read more →Print quality depends on the base knit, preparation, artwork and the selected process. Confirm the technical route with the finishing team and test the result on the intended fabric.
Read more →From 18–20 November 2025, we visited the 11th Fast Textile trade fair at Ptak Expo Łódź to learn about developments in textiles and meet industry partners.
Read more →A PPHU Jakub Wendler delegation attended the 38th seminar of the Association of Colourists from 1–3 October 2025, with sessions on circularity, AI in production and dyeing technologies.
Read more →Slow fashion puts attention on thoughtful design, wear and material choice. A fabric should be assessed for the intended garment, care routine and expected use—not by a sustainability label alone.
Read more →Compare suppliers on product fit, sample quality, technical communication, production capacity, finishing options and how clearly they define tolerances and delivery.
Read more →Adding elastane or another fibre can change stretch, recovery, hand and care behaviour. Choose a blend for the job it needs to do and test the finished knit.
Read more →Digital tools can support pattern development, process planning and quality control. Their value depends on how they are integrated with machinery, staff expertise and production data.
Read more →Organic and recycled cotton are different sourcing choices. Compare fibre origin, available documentation, composition, fabric performance and the evidence behind any environmental claim.
Read more →Runway references can inspire colour, silhouette and texture. The material brief then turns those ideas into a fabric and garment that can be tested for fit, finish and production needs.
Read more →Protective clothing depends on the complete garment, tested materials and applicable documentation. A knit should not be described as protective without evidence for the intended hazard and use.
Read more →Local sourcing can affect transport and supply-chain planning, but a carbon-footprint claim needs a defined boundary and comparable lifecycle data.
Read more →Match the knit to the garment, season, wearer and production method. Compare constructions and test the finished fabric rather than relying on a product name alone.
Read more →A cohesive collection can use several knit structures, provided their colour, weight, stretch, shrinkage and finishing work together across the garments.
Read more →Knitted fabrics differ in structure, hand, stretch and use. Learn how common constructions compare and what to check before selecting one for a collection.
Read more →Medical and protective garments require product-specific evidence, testing and documentation. A knitted fabric should not be described as suitable without confirming the intended use and complete garment requirements.
