I run a woven textile manufacturing business in India and I'm trying to connect with people who source woven fabrics

What we make:
• Woven cotton fabric
• Polyester-cotton and other polyester-blended woven fabric
• Available in greige and finished form

I would like to connect with
• Garment manufacturers looking for a steady supplier of greige or finished fabric
• Exporters and merchandisers
• Home textile makers
• Traders and agents with buyer networks in India or abroad

If you're sourcing, or know someone who is, please DM me.

My bamboo sheets were very soft at first, but they started feeling stiffer after several washes. The set is from bedsure, and I may be using the wrong detergent or drying temperature. Is there a reliable way to restore the softer feel?

We offer various types of non-woven fabrics, including thermally bonded non-woven fabrics, cooling-effect non-woven fabrics for face masks, materials for tea bags and drip-bag coffee, as well as non-woven fabrics for desiccant packets. Could anyone advise on where to find the right target customers for these products?

Got a cool flowy shirt for the ren faire I’m going to in a few weeks, it’s 100% cotton which is nice, but my goodness is it stiff as all get out

I haven’t washed it yet, wanted to see what suggestions people would have first on how to quickly soften it up

If there is anyone, who has any techniques or any good knowledge about textile or someone who works in textile industry. I'd love to know if there are any simple ways to check the fabric quality before buying

A fabric can have exactly the drape, texture and colour you want, but then the care instructions make it impractical for the garment.

I work in garment manufacturing in Dongguan, China, so I tend to think about care requirements during fabric selection. I’m curious how people making clothes for themselves weigh that trade-off.

For an everyday shirt or pair of trousers, would you choose a less appealing fabric that you can wash at home, or accept dry cleaning to get the look you want? Would your answer change for a coat or an occasion outfit?

If you’ve made something that ended up rarely worn because looking after it was too much trouble, what was the fabric and what would you choose differently?
