Everything you need to know before placing your first order with RoundKnit Textiles.
The standard bulk production MOQ is 2,000 yards per fabric type per color. This applies to all fabric categories: jersey, fleece, pique, and cotton knit.
For buyers who are not yet ready to commit to bulk, RoundKnit offers a 300-meter sample production order — a genuine mill run (not a lab swatch) that allows you to assess actual fabric quality, hand feel, GSM accuracy, and color fidelity before scaling up.
■ Most clients confirm their bulk order after receiving and testing the 300-meter sample. This is the safest and most cost-effective path to a long-term supply relationship.
The ordering process is straightforward and fully managed by a dedicated account manager:

Yes — and RoundKnit strongly recommends it for all new buyers. The 300-meter sample production order is a real mill run on the same machines with the same yarn as your eventual bulk order. You can evaluate:
Sample pricing applies. Once specifications are confirmed through the sample, bulk orders can proceed with full confidence and no surprises.
RoundKnit serves the full spectrum — from first-time clothing brands and small garment workshops to large uniform manufacturers and established cut & pack facilities. The flexible MOQ structure (300 m sample, 2,000 yards bulk) is deliberately designed to be accessible at early production stages.
Typical clients include:

RoundKnit’s fabric is used across multiple sectors globally:
Export markets served include the USA, UK, Canada, UAE, Germany, Australia, and Southeast Asia.
RoundKnit uses premium combed long-staple cotton sourced from the United States and Australia — widely regarded as the highest grade available for knit fabric manufacturing. Here is why yarn selection has a direct impact on the commercial value of your finished garments:
■ Yarn origin and quality is the single biggest differentiator between premium-grade and commodity knit fabric. Insisting on long-staple combed cotton is a direct investment in your brand reputation.
Quality is enforced at three distinct stages:
Independent third-party lab testing is available on completed lots for buyers who require formal certification (at client’s cost).
Yes. Once production is complete, RoundKnit can facilitate independent lab testing on the finished lot. Standard test parameters include:
Testing is coordinated at the client’s request and expense. Lab reports provide formal, third-party-certified evidence of compliance — especially useful for buyers supplying regulated retail chains, hospitality groups, or government uniform contracts.
■ Inform RoundKnit at order placement if lab testing is required, so dispatch scheduling can account for testing turnaround time.
Pilling is caused by loose, short fibers migrating to the fabric surface under friction. RoundKnit addresses this at the source through yarn selection:
The commercial impact: fabric that resists pilling, maintains a smooth surface appearance, and does not shed lint onto other garments — all of which are key quality signals for retail buyers and end consumers.
RoundKnit operates exclusively on a made-to-order basis, meaning every parameter is open to specification:
Share your full specification sheet or simply describe your end product category and target market. RoundKnit’s technical team will engineer the right fabric construction for your needs.
GSM is fully customizable. Common production ranges are:
| Jersey Fabric | 140–260 GSM (lightweight t-shirt to heavy base layer) |
| Fleece Fabric | Custom GSM as specified, mid-layer to heavy outerwear |
| Pique Fabric | Custom GSM, standard polo weight to structured heavy pique |
| Cotton Knit | Custom GSM as per specification |
If you are unsure of the correct GSM for your garment type, provide the end product category (t-shirt, hoodie, polo, etc.) and target market (retail, sportswear, uniform), and RoundKnit will recommend the appropriate weight range.
Yes. Provide your Pantone TCX or TPX code, a physical fabric swatch, or a color-matched reference sample. RoundKnit will develop a lab dip for your approval before bulk dyeing proceeds.
Color consistency is maintained through:
This is especially critical for multi-color uniform programs where shade consistency between rolls must be exact, and for re-orders that need to match previous production lots precisely.
Sustainable and eco-conscious fabric compositions are available on request. Options can include:
Contact RoundKnit with your sustainability specification and required certifications. Feasibility and pricing will be confirmed based on your exact requirements.
Jersey fabric is a plain-knit construction with a smooth face and slightly textured reverse. It stretches in all directions (four-way stretch in cotton-Lycra blends), has excellent drape, and is the standard fabric for t-shirts, casual dresses, and base layers. GSM range: 140–260.
Pique fabric features a textured, raised surface pattern (typically a honeycomb or waffle structure). It is more structured than jersey, holds its shape under wear, resists creasing, and is highly breathable. Pique is the industry standard for polo shirts, corporate uniforms, and sportswear.
Fleece fabric is a loop-pile knit with a brushed interior that traps warm air for insulation. It is significantly thicker and warmer than jersey or pique. Used for hoodies, jackets, pullovers, blankets, and cold-weather workwear.
■ If you are unsure which fabric construction suits your end product, share the garment type and end-use environment. RoundKnit’s team will recommend the right fabric family and specifications.
| 100% Cotton | Soft, breathable, natural. Preferred for skin-contact garments and casual wear. |
| 100% Polyester | Durable, moisture-wicking, colorfast. Common in sportswear and workwear. |
| Poly-Cotton Blend | Balances softness with durability and improved shape retention. |
| Cotton + Lycra (Spandex) | Custom GSM as per specification |
| Custom Blends | Any composition available on specification — discuss requirements with the team. |
Cotton knit fabric is a 100% cotton construction knitted (rather than woven) to produce a fabric with inherent stretch and drape. It combines the natural breathability and softness of cotton with the flexibility and comfort of a knit structure.
Common applications:
Yes. In addition to 100% cotton constructions, RoundKnit produces performance fabrics in polyester, cotton-Lycra, and poly-cotton blends. These are designed for:
Specify your target performance parameters — stretch percentage, moisture management, or weight requirements — and RoundKnit will confirm the correct composition.
Standard production lead time is 3–4 weeks from order confirmation (from receipt of advance payment and all approved specifications). Factors that affect timeline:
Transit time is additional: 5–10 days by air freight to most destinations; 3–6 weeks by sea freight depending on destination port. Exact production and delivery timelines are confirmed at the time of order.
Yes — RoundKnit ships worldwide by air and sea freight. Trade terms:

Pakistan is among the world’s top five textile-manufacturing nations, with a fully integrated supply chain from cotton farming through yarn spinning to finished fabric. Buying factory-direct from Pakistan provides:
Because all RoundKnit fabrics are manufactured exclusively to client specifications, bulk orders are final once produced and dispatched as per approved parameters. This is standard practice in custom textile manufacturing globally — the fabric cannot be resold to another buyer.
Buyer protection mechanisms built into the process:
Claims for major defects — where fabric clearly does not conform to approved, documented specifications — are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Documentation (photos, lab reports) is required.
No. RoundKnit operates exclusively as a made-to-order manufacturer. Every roll of fabric is produced specifically against your order — your GSM, your color, your fiber blend, your finish. There is no warehouse of pre-made fabric available for immediate dispatch.
This model ensures that every client receives fabric engineered precisely to their requirements, rather than selecting from a limited range of pre-existing options. It is the foundation of RoundKnit’s customization commitment.
In the event of a suspected major defect or specification non-compliance, contact RoundKnit immediately upon receipt with:
Contact: contact@roundknit.com or WhatsApp +92 313 3483 484. RoundKnit’s strict in-line QC process is specifically designed to prevent specification deviations. Each lot is inspected against the approved sample before packing and dispatch.
Yes. Pakistan is a well-established textile exporter to the United States, with a robust freight infrastructure for both air and sea shipments. Key points for US-based buyers:
■ Many US garment brands and uniform suppliers already source knit fabric from Pakistan due to the quality-to-cost advantage over domestic or East Asian alternatives.
Pakistan and the UAE have strong trade links and well-established freight routes, making RoundKnit a natural supplier for UAE-based importers, garment manufacturers, and uniform companies.
Yes. Pakistan currently holds GSP+ (Generalized Scheme of Preferences Plus) status with the European Union, which provides significantly reduced or zero import duties on textile and apparel imports into EU member states for qualifying products.
This makes Pakistan-sourced knit fabric a commercially attractive option for European garment brands and importers, compared to sourcing from countries without preferential trade status.
Verify current GSP+ product eligibility with your customs broker, as tariff codes and rates are subject to periodic review.
