DALI fabrics
Knitted Fabric Manufacturer
Source knitted fabrics from DALI for bulk fabric orders or coordinated garment development. Fabric manufacturing, dyeing and finishing in China bring construction, shade and finish into the same development process. Share a swatch or material brief to discuss composition, weight, usable width and order requirements.
Product development
Define the construction of knitted fabric
Provide a swatch and identify the face, back and stretch directions. Separate construction preferences from fiber composition and dyeing requirements, and state the fabric quantity in an agreed unit.
- Construction, composition and weight
- Usable width and stretch direction
- Quantity unit, shade and finishing
If the brief calls for jersey fabric, send a swatch or identify the intended knit structure. Jersey, rib and other constructions are not interchangeable; DALI reviews the requested structure, weight and finishing before confirming a material proposal.
Discuss knitted fabricDeveloping knitted fabric with DALI
Start with knit construction before choosing a fiber label.
DALI fabric and dyeing operations provide a route for discussing structure, weight, usable width and finish together. An approved fabric swatch, color reference and dimensional-stability requirement define the material more precisely than a generic knit description.
Fabric development and finishing
DALI's China network connects fabric manufacturing, dyeing and finishing with garment production. Buyers can discuss a bulk fabric program or coordinate a fabric development with the garment it will become.
Fabric manufacturing in China
Fabric specifications and material records
Named material supplier and processing site; composition, construction, weight, usable width and color approval; relevant certification scope and transaction records where required.
Audits and material documentation →Sample and project review
Sample review and approval
Review handfeel, width, weight, shade and dimensional change against the material reference. Agree test methods, tolerances, roll identification and any finishing before treating the sample as the bulk specification.
Review the proposed production brief
For knitted fabric, DALI reviews construction, composition and weight; usable width and stretch direction; quantity unit, shade and finishing. State the requested material quantity and units, usable width, color allocation and the intended receiving production team.

Match a material claim to the actual fabric
DALI's fabric and dyeing operations connect material development with the garment's intended use. Composition, construction, weight, usable width and shade identify the fabric to be sampled and supplied. Organic or recycled-content documentation is matched to that material and process rather than inferred from the fiber name.
Frequently asked
Buyer questions
01Why is a fiber name not enough to specify knitted fabric?
Fiber composition and knitted structure are separate decisions. Include construction, weight, usable width, stretch direction and finishing so the swatch can be evaluated against a defined material brief.
Product development and supply
Discuss development of knitted fabric.
Discuss the intended garment, material reference and estimated bulk requirement. DALI reviews composition, construction, weight, width, shade and finishing for separate fabric supply or garment development.
