About TypesOfFabric.in
TypesOfFabric.in is an independent digital textile reference platform developed for apparel merchandisers, textile engineers, fashion designers, garment manufacturing plants, and academic researchers.
Why We Built This Platform
General consumer websites often present oversimplified, inaccurate, or commercially biased descriptions of fabrics. Textile production decisions—such as machine gauge selection, yarn count alignment, dyehouse shrinkage allowances, and cutting room markers—require empirical, standardized data.
Our platform bridges this gap by cataloging fabrics according to international testing conventions (ASTM, ISO, and AATCC standards), categorizing materials by structural interlacing configurations, and providing mathematical calculation tools that reflect actual factory floor workflows.
Editorial Principles
- Zero Fabricated Specifications: We present typical industry reference ranges rather than arbitrary, fixed manufacturer values.
- Transparent Mathematics: Every calculation tool discloses its underlying algebraic formula, unit conversions, and operational assumptions.
- Structural Rigor: We distinguish knit loop geometries from woven interlacing paths, highlighting technical parameters like edge-curling, torque, and dimensional stability.
Operational Scope
Operating from New Delhi / NCR, India—a major global hub for circular knitting and garment exports—our editorial desk continually benchmarks documentation against standard commercial practices across global export supply chains.
