Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our black dyed cotton yarn range.
We use reactive black dyes for most applications due to their excellent wash fastness on cotton. For applications requiring higher rub fastness — such as dark-shade weaving — vat black dyes are used. Both are tested to ISO 105 standards before dispatch.
Yes. We supply 2ply black dyed counts from Ne 6/2 to Ne 40/2. The most commonly ordered are Ne 20/2 and Ne 32/2. Share your machine gauge and we will confirm the right count and twist direction for your machine.
For sock manufacturing we recommend Ne 10s to Ne 30s in single or 2ply combed cotton depending on your machine gauge. Share your gauge and we will advise the right count and construction.
Every production lot is spectrophotometer-checked against the approved standard. We store dye recipes to ensure repeat orders match exactly. Visual assessment under D65 and TL84 light sources is also performed before any lot is released.
MOQ is 150 kg. Packing available in PP bags, standard export cartons, or pallets. We ship by sea or air freight and provide full export documentation including invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin.
