From yarn to finished fabric

How Kapasa cloth is made — from the dobby draft to a graded, labelled roll. Updated with results as each step runs.

Five steps

Draft, dye, weave, test, ship

  1. Design with the yarn

    Each construction starts from an effect yarn — slub, bouclé, chenille — and a dobby draft built around it. Weight and width are set as targets before the first weave.

    • Dobby draft per design
    • Target GSM and width stated
    • Effect yarn chosen first
    • End use fixed up front

  2. Yarn-dyed colour

    Yarns are dyed to shade before weaving, so colour and texture run through the cloth. Custom shades start at 300 m, with lab dips in 7–10 working days.

    • Yarn-dyed before weaving
    • Custom shades from 300 m
    • Lab dips in 7–10 working days
    • Strike-offs in 10–15 working days

  4. Testing after the first weaves

    Abrasion, pilling and colourfastness go to an accredited textile lab. Until a report is on file the spec sheet says test pending — we do not estimate.

    • Martindale abrasion
    • Pilling
    • Colourfastness to light, rubbing, washing
    • Flammability when a buyer needs it

  5. Inspection, packing and dispatch

    Every roll is graded on the 4-point system before it leaves the shed, labelled with its design, colourway and roll number, and packed for domestic or export shipment.

    • 4-point inspection system
    • Roll or cut-length packing
    • Clear roll labelling
    • Export documentation
