Brief
You share the target weight, width, composition and end use; we propose the machine, gauge and yarn combination.
Knitted fabric production
İki İplik Knitted Fabric
Ground and heavier backing yarn knitted together; looped inside, medium weight. Because the backing yarn stays off the face, the outer surface remains smooth and print-friendly, while the looped inner layer adds volume and warmth.
Structure and production
A long seasonal window, good shape retention after washing and a comfortable hand make it the backbone of sweatshirt, tracksuit and short programmes. Cotton-rich blends breathe, polyester content improves dimensional stability and durability, and elastane versions allow closer-fitting patterns.
For two-thread fleece, Tutku Fabric takes on the sourcing side while working with production partners. Once a sample is accepted, a small sewing trial is requested: overlock and coverstitch behaviour, the joins with rib trims and the look after pressing are tested on your own machinery. Feedback from that trial is written into the construction before bulk is opened.
Sourcing and sampling
One team from sample to bulk.
We knit İki İplik 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 İki İplik.
What weight and width is İki İplik produced in?
Our standard weight band is 220–320 g/m²; width: Açık en 170–190 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 İki İplik used for?
Typical end uses are sweatshirt, eşofman, şort. Composition options include pamuk/polyester, pamuk/elastan; 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.
