Quality Fabric

Quality of fabric is key to the success of our business. This manual is to help
suppliers understand the criteria to determine a fabric to be correct for quality.
Suppliers must use the testing manual to select the required tests for product.
If you supply fabric which does not meet Standards you will be liable
for any returns & loss of profit to our business.
We reserve the right to request extra testing at any point in the sampling
& sealing process when deemed necessary.
WE want to make their customers happy by producing clothing to be as
easy as possible to care for. Therefore with this in mind, where possible we
expect all product to be machine washable at 40c & tumble dryable.

FABRIC APPROVAL PROCEDURES

TECHNICAL SUBMISSION

Technical Submission is the term used to describe a fabric at the development stage, a fabric

which is being proposed to Matalan but not actually bought yet.

A full physical test report must be submitted in line with the performance requirements. This can be in the form of a test report carried out for another retailer if available to save on testing costs or from an independent testing house.

The technical submission must be correct for handle, appearance and finish.

Technical Approval can only be given when the below is submitted to the Buying Team /

Technologist:

• Fabric Specification Sheet

• Technical Hanger

• Physical Test Report

Upon approval Technical Hangers must be distributed to Garment & Fabric Suppliers

BULK FABRIC SUBMISSION
Every fabric must be tested at 1st Bulk as per the required performance standard. Bulk
Approval can only be given when the below requirements are submitted to the Buying Team /
Technologist.
• Bulk Hanger
• 1st Bulk Test Report
• All Legal Testing ( fibre comp, flammability etc )
Bulk submission is required on the 1st Bulk of each design or colourway.
Some departments may require full/part garments to illustrate garment wash/placement etc.
Bulk Colour Continuity must be monitored ensuring that each batch is a close match to the
bulk hanger. If any batches are off-shade/borderline to the approved 1st Bulk Hanger, a A4
piece clearly labelled with the batch number must be submitted to the
Buyer/Technologist.
Bulk Shade Bands will need to be submitted on certain product areas. These occur with
certain was processes & dye routes e.g. pigment garment dye. 2 copies of each shade band
should be sent to the Buying Team for assessment. The bulk shade band should
consist of the lightest & darkest points that are deemed commercial against the bulk hanger.

Fabric Defect Manual

Introduction

Controlling fabric’s quality in large scale Fabric production facilities has always been a challenging task. Throughout the production process, there are always new and re-occurring defects that can unexpectedly appear on the fabric causing production loss and delays.

It is important to realize, however, that most of the defects can be prevented and/or corrected.

The first and the most important step in taking preventive or remedial actions is to determine the nature and the cause of the problem.

The ability to make this determination quickly and to take the appropriate action is an integral part of any Fabric quality control set-up and can be a great tool for minimizing production loss time and maximizing productivity.

The following is a summarized review of the most common defects/problems associated with each area of fabric production process from yarns to printing.

For each, a brief description, preventive suggestions and corrective measures are offered.

Additional detailed description and related technical information are available if required.

General Descriptions, Guidelines, and Recommendations

Knitting Related Defects/Problems

Torque-

Definition and Causes:

This problem which predominantly occurs with single Jersey fabrics can not easily be seen in the fabric form. However, if the fabric is constructed with an inherent Torque, once sewn in to garments and after the first wash a distortion in the side seams position appears.

This is mainly attributed to yarn twist, and the knitting machine diameter size.

Higher twist levels, finer yarns (36/1, 40/1, 50/1, etc.), and large diameters normally produce more Torque.

Preventive Suggestions:

With lighter weight fabrics, in order to completely eliminate Torque, the use of alternate S and Z twist yarn cones on the knitting machine is recommended.

This, however, is a costly method. The more practical way would be to use yarns with minimum workable twist levels; to use smaller diameter machines and finally to knit the fabric with a cut line.

Corrective Measures:

With fabrics having higher measures of Torque an adjustment in the marker may be the only solution.

Barre Lines-

See yarn Barre in section 1- G

Needle Lines-

Definition and Causes:

The open vertical lines along the Wales lines in a double knit structure is normally caused by the mal-function of the needle’s latch, accumulation of oil-soaked lint and the incorrect alignment of the cam tracks.

Preventive Suggestions:

Regular maintenance and upkeep of the machine elements, and in particular, replacing the needles on a regular basis, are essential.

Corrective Measures:

For this problem, no corrective measures are available.

Sinker Lines-

Definition and Causes:

The open vertical lines along the Wales lines in a single knit structure is normally caused by the miss-timing of the Sinker elements, broken Sinker tips, accumulation of oil-soaked lint and the incorrect alignment of the cam tracks.

Preventive Suggestions:

Regular maintenance and upkeep of all machine elements is essential.

Corrective Measures:

For this problem no corrective measures are available.

Loop and Stitch Length Variations-

Definition and Causes:

Certain plain single knit structures, especially those with looser stitches and at lower tension levels, are more susceptible to stitch length variation. This can be seen on the fabric as a cluster of irregularly shaped loops where loops appear to have different lengths.

This is usually caused by the variation in the bending properties of the yarns.

It could also be due to the variation in the coefficient of friction between the yarns and the elements with which they come into contact with.

Preventive Suggestions:

The use of Yarn Evenness Tester and yarn with sufficient non-silicone lubricants is strongly recommended.
