Brief
You share the target weight, width, composition and end use; we propose the machine, gauge and yarn combination.
Knitted fabric production
Ribana Knitted Fabric
Double-bed construction with alternating needles; high widthwise stretch and recovery. The rib repeat can be set from narrow to wider channels, and a denser stitch gives the fabric more body and stronger recovery.
Structure and production
Because it stretches and returns, it is the first option for collars, cuffs and hems that are constantly under load. Used on its own, it gives a comfortable hand to close-fitting bodysuits, underwear and basic tops, and elastane blends keep the recovery alive over long wear.
Tutku Fabric ties rib into the sourcing flow of the main fabric together with its production partners. The colour card goes out first, sample yardage is prepared for the selected tones, and the rib is kept on the same calendar as the body fabric. Collars and cuffs are then ready for the sewing line the moment the main cloth is.
Sourcing and sampling
One team from sample to bulk.
We knit Ribana 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 Ribana.
What weight and width is Ribana produced in?
Our standard weight band is 180–320 g/m²; width: Tüp veya açık en 90–160 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 Ribana used for?
Typical end uses are yaka, manşet, body, iç giyim. Composition options include pamuk/elastan, viskon/elastan; we recommend the yarn and finish according to the product and washing expectations.
Why is width stated as tubular or open?
Rib structures relax and narrow across the width, so tensioned and rested widths differ noticeably. We therefore state whether the width is tubular or open and under which condition it was measured, always on rested fabric.
