How Knotwidth Textiles Delivers Custom Solutions

At Knotwidth Textiles, we understand that every manufacturer has unique requirements when it comes to yarn. With decades of experience, we provide not only high-quality yarns but also tailored solutions to help our clients achieve the best results in their production processes. We specialize in High Bulk (HB) Acrylic Yarns and pride ourselves on a hands-on, client-centered approach that delivers exceptional value and quality.

Supplying High Bulk Acrylic Yarns with Expertise

Recently, a new client approached us with a need for a steady supply of High Bulk Acrylic Yarns for their knitting production. We were excited about the opportunity to support them, given our extensive experience and wide range of yarn blends, counts, and colors. With over a decade of supplying HB acrylic yarns to the U.S. market, we’ve become known for having one of the most comprehensive inventories on the continent.

To give the client a sense of our capabilities, we prepared a mixed carton of yarn cones that includes a variety of HB qualities from our Montreal warehouse. These samples allow the client to experiment with different yarns to find the perfect fit for their production needs.

Why Yarn Counts Matter

One of the key topics we addressed with the client was the importance of yarn counts and how industry practices can sometimes lead to confusion. Yarn counts, such as 2/24 or 2/28, are meant to represent the number of yards per pound of yarn. However, some mills in the U.S. have been known to mislabel their yarns, resulting in heavier yarns than advertised. For instance, a yarn labeled as 2/24 could actually be closer to 2/19, leading to inconsistencies in the final product.

At Knotwidth Textiles, we take a different approach. We use the Metric Count (Nm) system, which is the international standard for measuring yarn thickness. Metric Count measures how many meters of yarn are produced per kilogram, providing a much more accurate and reliable measurement. Our 2/28Nm yarn, for example, offers finer yarn with a higher yield, delivering around 7,000 yards per pound. This precision ensures that the yarn you order will be exactly what you expect in terms of weight, texture, and performance.

Custom Shade Matching and Personal Support

Our goal is to be more than just a supplier; we aim to be a trusted partner for every client. For this particular client, we didn’t just send samples of our High Bulk Acrylic Yarns; we also included custom shade matching services to ensure their specific needs were met. Whether it’s matching shades, adjusting yarn counts, or finding the perfect blend, we are committed to providing personalized solutions.

In the sample carton, the client received cones in several key colors, including:

  • 2/22DMM and 2/28DMM in Black
  • White
  • Mickey Red
  • Navy
  • Various shades of gray

The 2/28DMM yarn offers 21% more yield and a finer count than some of the standard yarns available in the U.S. market, which means a noticeable improvement in both quality and value. Many of our clients prefer this finer count because it leads to a better final product and can be used across a range of knitting machines, from 4 cut to 12 cut.

A Commitment to Long-Term Partnerships

At Knotwidth Textiles, we believe in building lasting relationships with our clients. We work closely with every manufacturer to understand their specific requirements, whether it's custom shades, specific yarn counts, or adjusting orders to accommodate their production timelines. We know that communication is key to ensuring the success of any project, and we are always available to address questions, provide updates, and offer support.

For this client, we ensured that their order was processed quickly and efficiently, with all necessary details confirmed before shipment. We also sent along standard shade cards to help streamline future orders and give them a clearer picture of the options available.
