Knitted fabric production

Süprem Knitted Fabric

Distinctive Characteristics of Suprem Fabric: The Front and Back Sides Are Different: The most obvious visual characteristic that sets Suprem fabric apart is that its two sides look different. While the front side of the fabric features straight loops (V-shaped lines), the back side shows reverse loops (wavy, horizontal loops). Lightweight and Breathable: Since it is typically made from 100% cotton or a cotton-spandex blend, it allows the skin to breathe and wicks away sweat. It is ideal for summer. Elasticity: Its crosswise stretch is much greater than its lengthwise stretch. If elastane (Lycra) yarn is added (Lycra-Blended Suprem), it provides excellent stretch in both directions and comfortably hugs the body. Edge Curling and Twisting: When cut, the raw edges of the fabric tend to curl backward, while the top and bottom edges tend to curl forward. This is a characteristic feature of the Suprem weave. Applications: Due to its light weight and soft texture, it has a wide range of applications in textiles: Basic T-shirts, tank tops, bodysuits, and blouses; pajama sets, nightgowns, and loungewear; baby and children’s clothing (due to its skin-friendly cotton composition); and underwear and leggings.

Structure and production

Sourcing and sampling

One team from sample to bulk.

We knit Süprem on our own circular knitting machines in Kahramanmaraş and follow it from sample to bulk with one team.

01

Brief

You share the target weight, width, composition and end use; we propose the machine, gauge and yarn combination.

02

Sample

We knit the sample on our own machine park in Kahramanmaraş and report greige and finished weight with post-wash dimensions.

03

Approval and recipe

Machine, settings and yarn lot of the approved sample go into the recipe; bulk is planned on that recipe.

04

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 Süprem.

What weight and width is Süprem produced in?

Our standard weight band is 130–220 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 Süprem used for?

Typical end uses are t-shirt, atlet, elbise, iç giyim. Composition options include pamuk, pamuk/elastan, viskon, modal; 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.
