AMBER | CIRCULAR KNITTED FABRIC FACTORY

Better Knitted Fabrics Begin With Yarn And Loop Structure

Controlled construction, weight, stretch and hand feel in every roll

Amber develops knitted fabrics around loop construction and stretch performance. From a swatch or garment use, we confirm yarn composition and count, machine gauge, structure, weight, finished width, stretch, recovery and finishing direction, then support trial knitting, sampling and bulk production.

UNDERSTANDING KNITS

Fiber content matters, but loop formation defines performance.

The same fiber composition can produce completely different thickness, stretch, drape and hand feel as yarn count, gauge, stitch length, density and finishing change.

T-shirts need lightness, breathability and skew control; activewear requires stretch, recovery and moisture management; sweatshirts depend on terry structure, warmth and bulk; close-to-skin garments prioritize softness and dimensional stability.

For sample development we compare surface construction, yarn, weight, width, elasticity and finish. For repeat bulk, the approved sample guides yarn lots, machine settings, greige condition and finished performance.

Serving customers in Japan, Korea, Europe and North America.

CIRCULAR KNITTING FOUNDATION

Production resources for development and bulk

Multiple machine specifications and coordinated production, technical, inspection and warehouse teams support the process from trial knitting to finished rolls.

KNIT STRUCTURES AND PRODUCTS

Different loop structures create different wear performance

Machines in multiple gauges support jersey, interlock, rib, pique, mesh and terry development. Yarn and construction are selected based on garment shape, use, performance and target cost.

Single Jersey Cotton, blends, spandex and slub options in a versatile single-knit structure Rib Fabric Clear vertical ribs and good crosswise stretch for trims and close-fitting garments Interlock Smooth double-knit surfaces with balanced body and dimensional stability Pique Tuck stitches create texture and breathability for polo and casual wear Knitted Mesh Open structures for sportswear and targeted ventilation Fleece Brushed surfaces for warmth and volume in sweatshirts and outerwear French Terry Loop-back structures with adjustable thickness, absorbency and hand feel Spandex Knits Stretch direction, extension and recovery adjusted through yarn and construction Functional Knits Moisture-wicking, quick-dry, breathable, cooling or thermal directions

Common yarns include cotton, polyester, nylon, viscose, modal, spandex, recycled fibers and blends. Yarn count, evenness, twist, lot and ratio are evaluated for surface, hand feel, stretch and finished stability.

FROM YARN CONES TO FINISHED KNITS

How knitted fabric is made

Stable loop formation is followed by dyeing, heat setting, finishing and inspection to achieve the approved performance.

Circular Knitting Target structures formed to approved gauge, feeds and stitch settings
Yarn PreparationComposition, count, color, lot and quantity checks
Greige Take-down and RollingMachine and roll records with initial surface checks
Dyeing, Setting and Finishing Color, width, weight, hand feel and dimensional stability
Finished Fabric Inspection Weight, width, shade, needle lines, surface and defects
Relaxing and Rerolling Fabric relaxation followed by length, surface and roll checks
Packing, Storage and ShippingLabels, packing, quantity and shipment preparation

KNITTED QUALITY CONTROL

We inspect the surface and its stability in wear and washing.

Beyond color, weight, width and visible defects, knitted fabrics may require checks for stretch recovery, shrinkage, skew, pilling and batch variation.

KNIT DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES

Turn subjective hand feel and wear requirements into producible knit parameters.

You do not need every technical detail at the start. Amber works from the sample and end use.

Sample Structure Analysis Identify the closest production direction from loops, yarn, weight, stretch and finish.

Weight and Width Balance Account for garment consumption and finishing changes.

Stretch and Recovery Optimize extension and recovery through yarn, spandex and density.

Hand Feel and SurfaceDevelop soft, crisp, lofty, fine or dry-touch effects.

Wash StabilityAddress shrinkage, skew, pilling and post-wash appearance.

Bulk Continuity Control yarns, machines, color and finishing across production lots.

START A KNITTED FABRIC PROJECT

Send a swatch or garment sample. We will begin with the loop structure.

Share end use, composition, weight, width, color, hand feel, stretch direction, wash requirements, quantity and target timing when available. A sample or reference image is enough to start.
