During the Mill Week, mills come with their new developments which may be in the
form of Fabric Swatches.
These are categorized into:
1. Knits,
2. Wovens and
3. Denims.
The knitted fabric is considered according to the required specifications of the
upcoming season and accordingly selected.
The Denim fabric is considered according to the weight which is in Oz and the
specific wash of swatch.
The woven fabric is further categorized as:
1. Yarn Dyed Checks After the fabric is selected CAD is developed.
2. Yarn Dyed Stripes After the fabric is selected CAD is developed.
