Spinning and winding in Neelambur, Coimbatore, for knitters in Tiruppur, Bangladesh and Europe.
Tell us the count, the quantity and the port. We reply by the next working day with a price per kg and the date it leaves Coimbatore.
Every month, 580 tonnes leave Neelambur. Four in ten cones go 54 km up the road to Tiruppur; the rest ship through Tuticorin and Kochi.
“We have run their 40s compact on the same Mayer machines since 2011. Count variation stays under 1.2%, lot after lot.”
Every count is combed and compact-spun. Below, each yarn is drawn 400 times its real width, with the twist it leaves the ring frame with.
Fleece, sweatshirts, heavy single jersey
T-shirts, single jersey, rib
Premium tees, polo pique, interlock
Fine interlock, babywear
Shirting, lightweight knits
Five rooms, 220 metres end to end. The strand is drawn to what each room does: a tangle of bale cotton on the left, one twisted yarn on the cone at the right.
Opens the bales, blends 48 of them at a time and pulls out seed, leaf and dust.
Separates every fibre and lays them roughly parallel into a soft rope called sliver.
Combs out the short fibres. 16% leaves as noil, which is why the yarn is smooth.
Drafts the roving 40 times finer, condenses it by suction and twists it into yarn.
Cuts out every thick and thin place electronically and winds the yarn onto export cones.
Every certificate number is printed on the carton label, so your QA team can check it before the container is unpacked.
Every count is tested for over 300 harmful substances at the babywear limit, so your garment test at the brand's lab starts from a pass.
Organic lots run on a separate line and ship with a transaction certificate, which your brand needs to sell the garment as organic.
Each carton label traces back to the bale mix, the ring frame and the shift, so a complaint gets an answer in days, not weeks.
