Today I'm posting a price list of circular knit fabric in total 63 option. I collect this price list from a very large knitting factory which is situated at Jamirdia, Masterbari, Valuka, Mymensingh, Bangladesh. It's name NRG. All the prices of this list in Bangladeshi taka (per kg). You can easily convert it to US$ dollar by dividing with 72 to 75. Because current dollar conversion rate is moving in between 72 to 75 taka. That's mean US $1 = 72 taka. Pls e-mail me if you are still unclear. Thanks. Sl.

Dear All, My this post for these people, who's are still confused regarding the CM (cost of making) of a knit items (garments). To find out the CM of a item you must need the following 06 (six) information at first, as listed below: i) Monthly total expenditure of your factory with factory rent, commercial cost, electricity bill, water bill, transportation, repairing, worker & stuff wages etc. (8hrs/day) in bangla taka. Suppose - 50,00,000/- tk ii) Qty of running Machine of your factory of the following month (which total expenditure we have consider here). Suppose - 100 machines iii) Number of machine to complete the layout for the following Items (which CM we are calculating). Suppose - 25 machines iv) Production target/capacity of the following items, per hour from the existing layout, excluding alter & reject. Suppose - 200 pcs per hour v) Total working day of the followings month,(though the house rent,commercial expenses,machine overhauling & some other cost remain same)Suppose- 26 days. vi) If you want to calculate the CM in US$ (dollar) then pls input present dollar conversation rate BDTk. Suppose - $1 = 74 taka. COST OF MAKING (CM) = {( Monthly total expenditure of the following factory / 26) / (Qty of running Machine of your factory of the following month) X (Number of machine to complete the layout)} / [{(Production capacity per hr from the existing layout, excluding alter & reject) X 8}] X 12 / (Dollar conversion rate) = [{(50,00,000 / 26) / ( 100 ) X (25)} / {(200) X 8}] X 12 / 74 = [{192307.7 / (100) X (25) } / 1600] X 12 / 74 = (48,076.9 / 1600) X 12 / 74 = 30.048 X 12 / 74 = 360.58 / 74 = $4.873 / dozen (this is the making cost (12 pcs) of the following items) However, normally at present (after starting the new salary scale) in Bangladesh we calculate the CM of any item consider the overhead sewing machine cost 1200 tk to 1400 tk/day that means $16.216 to $18.92/per day. Above is for a non-compliance factory. For the a compliance factory the per day machine cost will be 1800 tk to 2100 tk ( $24.32 to $28.37) SO, if the an items produce 1600 pcs per day using 25 machines then the CM will be = Overhead machine cost X require machine / produce quantity X 12 / $74 = 1400 X 25 / 1600 X 12 / 74 = $3.547/DOZ 1 Apparel-Merchandising How we produce Yarn from cotton? Dear all, The yarn making process is a very complicated process. So many things are related with this yarn producing process. Moreover, various kinds of yarn are producing everyday all over the world. These yarns can be divided by the types of raw materials which we used for making the yarn. Such as- • 100% cotton yarn. • CVC yarn (In this type of yarn the combination of cotton of polyester can be varied depending on the buyer requirement. such as - 65% cotton + 35% polyester, 60% cotton + 40% Polyester etc. Also mainly in this type of yarn the cotton part is always remain greater than the Polyester). CVC mean cheap value cotton. • 100% polyester yarn. • PC yarn (In this type of yarn the cotton part is always remain less than the Polyester). PC means Polyester cotton. • 100% Viscose yarn. • Grey Mélange yarn. In this type yarn we used a mixer of cotton & viscose. The percentage of cotton & viscose may vary depends on the requirement of buyer. Such as - 85% cotton + 15% viscose (Dark Grey Mélange), 90% cotton + 10% viscose (Grey Mélange), 95% cotton + 5% viscose ( Light Grey Mélange), 98% cotton + 2% viscose (Ecru Mélange) etc. Please note that if we increase the percentage of viscose then the yarn shade also will become dark accordingly. The percentage also can be 80% cotton + 20% viscose. So, if your buyer asked you for Grey mélange fabric then you must confirm it from them that, which percentage of viscose actually they looking for. The yarn price of Grey Mélange is higher than normal cotton yarn. Please always be aware about one thing that, the fabric which knitted by grey mélange yarn is not need to dyeing. Also fabric properties of cotton & grey mélange are almost same. So, we can used same care instruction for both (cotton & g.melange) type of fabric. Other than these, many more kinds of yarn are producing in this textile world. Such as Bamboo yarn, Organic cotton yarn etc. 2 We can also separate the yarn by their finishing quality: • Combed Yarn • Carded Yarn • Rotor Yarn • Slav yarn Yarn is also labeled by their thickness. The unit of this is count. The count number of yarn will increase according to the reduce of yarn thickness. Yarn price also increase according to increased of count number. 40 count yarns are thinner than the 36 count yarn. Some common yarn count: 20 count, 22 count, 24 count, 26 count, 28 count, 30 count, 32 count, 34 count, 36 count, 40 count. Normally we used these yarn counts for knit fabrics. Few days ago I visited a spinning factory to let it know that, how the yarn is producing from cotton. This spinning factory only produced 100% cotton carded yarn. Here, I will describe you the yarn producing process step by step with image and video. Thanks! Please find below a flow chart for 100% cotton carded yarn. Ø 1st Step: For producing the yarn at first we need to setup a spinning factory. The production capacity of this spinning factory will be depends on our requirement. Ø 2nd Step: Cotton purchasing by import or from local market. Then store the cotton separately based on its origin, quality & fiber length etc. 3 Ø 3rd Step: Blow room section – In this section the cotton goes under several treatment or operations. Such as- Fiber opening, Cleaning, Dust Removal, Blending etc. Ø 4th Step: Carding section – After end of the blow room process the cotton comes in the carding section. The cotton comes automatically in these carding machines by pipe. A spinning factory has several carding machine. Two proverbs of the experts - "the carding is the heart of the spinning mill" and "well carded is half spun" Ø 5th Step: 1st Drawing – From the carding machine we got Sliver. The breaker drawing (1st drawing) machine makes even the sliver by doubling process. 4 Ø 6th Step: 2nd Drawing – After finished the process of 1st drawing by the finisher drawing (2nd drawing) machine we make the sliver more even (as much as possible.) Ø 7th Step: Simplex – This machine produce roving from finisher sliver for make yarn. Ø 8th Step: Ring Frame – This machine produce the count wise yarn from roving. Ø 9th Step: Auto Cone – Winding is the main process of this machine. This auto coner machine make cone from the ring bobbin. Ø 10th Step: Packing – After get the yarn cone from auto coner we packed these cone for sale or delivery to the knitting factory. Apparel-Merchandising Dyeing process of Lycra Single Jersey Fabric Learn Apparel Merchandising, Single Jersey Spandex (Lycra) Fabric Dear All, Today I will share with you a very important dyeing process. Sometimes we got query from buyer for Fabric with spandex. All of these the most common require fabrication is - 95% cotton 5% spandex, Single jersey , 160 GSM. From the fiber market we can got many kinds spandex for knitting the fabric. Denier is the unit of Spandex. The common denier is 20D, 40D & 70D. Fiber thickness of 20D is thin then 40D. And 70D is thicker than 40D. Lycra is a brand (name) of Spandex. In single jersey spandex fabric it is very difficult to keep the GSM lower. If you intending to produce the s/j cotton spandex fabric in between 155 to 165 GSM then please follow the below things: Fabric 95% cotton 5% spandex, Single Jersey, 160 GSM Yarn count should be - 40/s comb Spandex should be - 20D Stitch Line should be - 2.80 Dyeing Process of Single Jersey Cotton Spandex Fabric: • 1st step: After receive the grey fabric from knitting section in tube form, in dyeing section, at first we slit the fabric with slitting machine. • 2nd Step: Then we heat set the stilted fabric with stenter machine for avoiding the creased mark. And also for the Dia & Grey GSM fixing. Dyeing the fabric (in the winch)- Option A) If the dyeing factory has high pressure dyeing machine (winch) then we should dye the fabric in open width. Option B) If the dyeing factory has normal dyeing winch then we should back sewing the open fabric to make it tube again. • 3rd Step: Scouring (detergent wash) the fabric in the dyeing winch and released the water for perform the next process. • 4th Step: Labeling the fabric by labeling agent which increased the PH of fabric. • 5th Step: Soda / Salt wash. • 6th Step: Mixing the specific color (reagent) for dye the fabric. Or if fabric color is white then we used brightener chemical in this step. And step 06 is not requiring for white color fabric. • 7th Step: Acid wash (after released color mixing water) • 8th Step: Color fixing by fixer. Finishing process of the fabric (After dyeing) - If we are following option (A) then step will be like as below • 9th Step: Stentering (heat setting) for adjust the Dia. For this again stentering we called it double heat settings. • 10th Step: Open compacting for control shrinkage of fabric length. If we are following option (B) then step will be like as below • 9th Step: Slitting • 10th Step: Stentering (heat settings) for dia adjust. • 11th Step: Open compacting for control shrinkage of fabric length. Now the fabric is ready for cutting. Please test the Shrinkage, Color shade, Gsm before start cutting. Hope, it will be helpful for all of you Apparel-Merchandising Grey Mélange Fabric Dyeing Method (process) Dear All, Actually Grey Mélange fabrics not need to dye, because yarn shade is already as per our requirement. So, when we calculate the fabric price of Grey mélange fabric, We only quote the below things 1. Yarn price 2. Knitting charge + knitting wastage 3. Fabric Washing & finishing cost (which we done in dyeing factory) + wastage. For this reason we got the Grey mélange fabric very quickly from dyeing. However, please find below washing & finishing process of grey melange. Fabrication: 90% cotton 10% viscose, Sing jersey. Dyeing(washing) 1 st Step: Scouring (detergent wash) the fabric in the dyeing winch and released the water for perform the next process. 2 nd Step: Per-oxide wash 3 rd Step: Acid washes 4 th Step: Softener. B) Finishing For tube form 8 th Step: Squeezer 9 th Step: Dryer. 10 th Step: Shrinkage Report (Optional) 11 th Step: Tube Compacting For open width fabric 8 th Step: Slitting 9 th Step: Stentering (For Dia adjust) 10 th Step: Open Compacting (For length wise shrinkage control) Now the fabric is ready for cutting.
