| Question 1 : why is there a problem in mass cutting of fabrics like georgette and moss crepe ? |
| Answer : This is because these fabrics are very flimsy by nature. these are also slippery .therefore due to slippage within the multiple layers , the patterns get cut in an inaccurate manner . |
| Question 2 : Q1) When we hear about the different types of fabric, we come across the term “Count” of the yarn. What does it precisely mean? |
| Answer : ) Count is the British system which measures the thickness of the yarn. Technically speaking “Count” is the number of 840 yard length of the yarn that will weigh one pound. That means, higher the count finer is the yarn, and lower the count, thicker is the yarn. So talking of the 40s count means that 40X 840 yards of the yarn which will weigh one pound. |
| Question 3 : I have a shipment of polyester dyed blouses . At the moment, when I steam iron the piece, the colour of the fabric(purple) is coming on to the label ,making it look purplish. Please suggest a solution. |
| Answer : ) In the polyester dyeing, at times the sublimation of the color used is low and that is the reason, why the color is passing onto the label on ironing. At the moment, the only solution we have is to avoid pressing the part with the label. In future take care to let your dyer know to use colors with good sublimation properties. Also, you need to first iron the piece and then attach the label. |
| Question 4 : What is the term volume weight used by the airlines? How is it calculated?
|
| Answer : The term “Volume weight” is used by the airlines for cargo, which is light in weight but occupies a lot of space. In such cases, the airlines loses money if it charges according to the gross weight only.
So, they have come up with a term “volume weight” , which is calculated as
(Length X breadth X height ) / 6000 ; the scale being centimeters.
If volume-weight is greater than the gross weight , them the charges are made on the former.
Example If a carton has the dimensions as 55 X 40 X 40, then the volume-weight is (55 X 40 X 40)/6000 |

| Answer : For getting detail's on the fabric qualities checkout our fabric price update section or www.fabrics.com
Regarding 2/40 x 20 -
This is the English system which classifies the thickness of a yarn and is an inverse system. Meaning the higher the count is ,the finer is the yarn.
2/40- 2 yarns of 40's count in warp
20- 1 yarn of 20's count in weft. |
