Knitting units · Manufacturing
Let the garment maker find your fabric by GSM before the quotation request goes out.
A knitting unit near Tiruppur runs a dozen circular machines on single jersey, rib and fleece. A garment exporter messages for 2 tonnes of 180 GSM melange single jersey, with a lab-tested shrinkage report. One unit replies with a swatch card, the shrinkage figure and the dyer's name. Another writes 'rate will be sent'. Silence follows.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
Knitting unit marketing helps circular and flat knitting units get found by garment makers who need knitted fabric by GSM, yarn and construction. Knitting unit sales turns a fabric enquiry into a sample, a trial lot and a repeat order. GullySales builds the fabric pages, the swatch card and the reorder list for knitters.
Knitted cloth is judged by hand and by wash, and a unit's name rests on whether the second lot matches the first. When a repeat lot is questioned, owners who wrote down what each buyer approved have something to check against.

How buyers decide
How knitting units are chosen.
A garment maker starts with the fabric: the construction, GSM, yarn count, blend and finish. They ask for a swatch, then a bulk sample, and test it for shrinkage, spirality and colour fastness. The unit that can show test details and tell them the production time on their order has an edge.
After that, repeat orders depend on consistency between lots and on how the unit handles small changes. Merchandisers remember the knitter who warned them about a delay and not the one who stayed silent.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for knitting units.
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“The unit is known to a few garment makers only”
Orders come from the same three buyers. When one of them changes sourcing, the machines stand idle.
“Swatch requests arrive on WhatsApp and get lost”
Requests sit in chats. There is no list of who asked for what, and no one calls back after the swatch is sent.
“Buyers ask for test results you have to chase”
Shrinkage and fastness reports are in someone's drawer or the dyer's office, so the reply to a buyer is slow.
“Season orders are unpredictable”
Summer and winter fabric swing the load. Without a list of buyers for each season, the idle weeks are filled at low rates.
“Job-work and own-yarn orders are priced from memory”
Each quotation is worked out fresh. Two buyers with similar orders get different rates and then compare notes.
“No one follows up after a trial lot”
The first lot goes out and the buyer is not asked how it cut, stitched and washed, so a repeat order depends on luck.
What we do
What we do for knitting units.
Everything included for knitting units.
Fabric pages by construction
Separate pages for single jersey, rib, interlock, fleece and others, each with GSM range, yarn, finish and end use.
A swatch card and sample routine
A printed swatch card and a record of every swatch and bulk sample sent, with the buyer's response.
A test-report folder
Shrinkage, spirality and fastness reports stored by fabric so they can be sent when asked.
Job-work quotation sheet
A common format for job-work enquiries that records the yarn, GSM, quantity and the rate method used.
Season calendar for buyers
A list of which buyers order for which season, used to plan outreach before the load drops.
Reorder diary
Each buyer's last fabric, GSM and lot size, with a note of what was approved and a line for the trial-lot feedback call.
How the result is measured
- Fabric enquiries by construction and source
- Swatches sent against trial lots booked
- Repeat orders from trial-lot buyers
- Machine idle weeks in the lean season, counted against the year before
- New buyers added, by cluster
- Job-work quotations sent against accepted
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
