Knitted Elastic with Sandblasted Finish for Scarves
This knitted elastic is supplied to a written specification so that reorders match the approved sample. The product spec is fixed at quotation stage — base material, the sandblasted finish surface, the 3# Gauge and the packing — and held on file, which is what keeps scarves consistent across seasons instead of drifting with whatever the mill happens to have in stock.
The usual reason buyers come to us is not price. It is elastic that lost recovery after three washes, or elastic that lost recovery after three washes. Both are preventable once the specification is written down before bulk starts.
