You share the target weight, width, composition and end use; we propose the machine, gauge and yarn combination.
Knitted fabric production
Crepe Knit Knitted Fabric
High-twist yarn or special stitch layout gives a dry hand and fine grainy surface. As twist level and stitch repeat change, the sandy effect on the face becomes more pronounced, and the fabric moves without clinging to the skin.
Structure and production
Fluid drape and a matt appearance build an elegant silhouette, while the grain hides creases, which helps in travel and heavy daily wear. It is chosen for dresses, blouses, skirts and relaxed shirt-shaped pieces, and it is a comfortable alternative for unlined light jackets and jumpsuits.
Tutku Fabric sources crepe knit with its production partners and starts colour approval with small dyeing trials. Because the dry, grainy face breaks light differently, the same recipe reads one way on a flat ground and another on this crepe, so tones are worked directly on this fabric and assessed separately in daylight and under store lighting. The approved trial becomes the reference for the lot colour.
Sourcing and sampling
One team from sample to bulk.
We knit Crepe Knit on our own circular knitting machines in Kahramanmaraş and follow it from sample to bulk with one team.
Sample
We knit the sample on our own machine park in Kahramanmaraş and report greige and finished weight with post-wash dimensions.
Approval and recipe
Machine, settings and yarn lot of the approved sample go into the recipe; bulk is planned on that recipe.
Production and dispatch
Light-table inspection at the knitting exit, weight and width measured per lot; approved quality ships with traceable lot data.
FAQ
Questions about Crepe Knit.
What weight and width is Crepe Knit produced in?
Our standard weight band is 160–280 g/m²; width: Açık en 150–180 cm. Values outside the band are developed on request; the target is confirmed on the sample with post-wash measurements before bulk is planned.
Which products is Crepe Knit used for?
Typical end uses are dresses, blouses, skirts. Composition options include viscose/elastane, polyester/elastane; we recommend the yarn and finish according to the product and washing expectations.
How are edge curling and shrinkage controlled?
In single-bed structures the cut edge curls towards the face and lengthwise shrinkage is higher than in double-bed fabrics. Compacting and the right stenter setting bring post-wash dimensions into the target range, and a light finish before cutting helps.
