Knitted fabric production
Honeycomb Fabrics Knitted Fabric
Honeycomb-like cellular relief supporting breathability and moisture transfer. By changing cell size and depth, the same logic can be adapted from light summer surfaces to firmer, loftier textures.
Structure and production
Because the surface reduces contact with the skin, it leaves a dry feel, which is why it is preferred where sweat management matters. It is used in sportswear, polos, performance tops and functional base layers.
Tutku Fabric sources honeycomb fabrics with its production partners while keeping the yarn origin transparent. On request, certified cotton, recycled polyester or traceable fibre options are offered, and the related documents are sent with the shipping paperwork. Planning those records from the start removes the difficulty of verifying a sustainability claim afterwards.
Sourcing and sampling
One team from sample to bulk.
We knit Honeycomb Fabrics 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 Honeycomb Fabrics.
What weight and width is Honeycomb Fabrics produced in?
Our standard weight band is 170–300 g/m²; width: Açık en 160–190 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 Honeycomb Fabrics used for?
Typical end uses are sportswear, polos, performance garments. Composition options include cotton, polyester, functional blends; we recommend the yarn and finish according to the product and washing expectations.
Do the cells close after washing?
In tuck-stitch structures the cell appearance can change during dyeing and drying. We confirm compacting and stenter settings with a wash test on the sample and keep the approved cell character in bulk with the same finishing recipe.
