Brief
You share the target weight, width, composition and end use; we propose the machine, gauge and yarn combination.
Knitted fabric production
İnterlok Knitted Fabric
Two interlocked rib structures; smooth on both faces, firm, with minimal edge curl. The closed construction improves opacity and keeps the edges flat during cutting, which makes clean-finished garments easier to sew.
Structure and production
Its soft, full hand puts skin comfort first in babywear and childrenswear, while the even surface suits polos, dresses and corporate pieces. Cotton and modal blends breathe, and elastane adds freedom of movement.
Tutku Fabric develops interlock with its production partners and treats dimensional change after washing as the item followed most closely in this group. The sample is washed to the brand's own care instruction; if the difference measured in length and width falls outside the accepted limit, the quality is reset on the finishing side. Pattern measurements are fixed only once those values settle.
Sourcing and sampling
One team from sample to bulk.
We knit İnterlok 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 İnterlok.
What weight and width is İnterlok produced in?
Our standard weight band is 180–320 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 İnterlok used for?
Typical end uses are polo, bebek giyim, elbise. Composition options include pamuk, pamuk/elastan, modal; we recommend the yarn and finish according to the product and washing expectations.
How do both faces of a double-bed fabric stay even?
Cylinder and dial stitch lengths are balanced on the sample; an unbalanced setting causes lines or uneven shrinkage on one face. Since a single faulty needle leaves a line along the whole roll, a trial knit and light-table inspection are done for every lot.
