Interlock Knit Fabric Sourcing Program for Schools and Universities: Yoga Wear
Interlock Knit Fabric Programme for Schools and Universities: Yoga Wear
This programme covers the full path from a interlock knit fabric requirement to a repeatable bulk supply for schools and universities. Instead of buying whatever a catalogue happens to stock, you specify the base material, the 80 gsm, the finish and the packing, and we hold that specification so every reorder matches the last one. It is built around yoga wear, which is where most of the specification detail sits.
The most common failure in interlock knit fabric sourcing is not price — it is drift. A base material changes mill, the shade moves, a plating bath changes and the item quietly stops matching the approved sample. We prevent that with a written spec, an approved counter sample and a golden sample retained at the factory.
What the programme covers
- Specification build from your tech pack or a physical reference sample
- Base material and finish options with costed alternatives
- Sampling, testing and approval against RoHS
- Bulk production with in-line inspection and photo reporting
- Packing, documentation and shipment under the agreed Incoterm
Recommended specifications
- ABS Resin — chosen when the item has to survive repeated laundering
- Neoprene — best balance of cost, availability and test performance
- POM Plastic — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first
- Wood — used when strength and abrasion resistance come first

FAQ
Do you hold stock for reorders?
Approved specifications are kept on file and, for repeat programmes, base material can be reserved against a rolling forecast.
What are the payment and delivery terms?
Standard terms are a deposit with the order and the balance before shipment, under EXW / FOB / CIF / DDP as agreed.
How long does sampling take?
14 working days for the first sample, with 3 days per revision round. Plated or dyed-to-match items add a few days.
What happens if a bulk lot fails inspection?
The lot is reworked or remade at our cost. Inspection reports are shared before the balance payment is due.
If you are comparing suppliers, send us the spec they quoted against. We will quote the same spec and show you where the difference sits.
