Dokuboy

Company Profile

Capacity is the headline here: 40 tons of knitted cotton fabric a day is industrial scale, and the integration is in the name — Dokuboy combines knitting with its own dyeing ('Boya' is Turkish for dyeing), so fabric can be bought at any stage from greige (undyed) through bleached and printed to fully dyed. Cotton, polyester, viscose and acrylic fabrics in mono- or bi-stretch qualities widen the offer beyond plain cotton jersey.

Turkish integrated knitters of this size serve the European apparel industry's core programs — T-shirts, sweatshirts, leggings and casualwear — where a 40-ton plant's economics meet Türkiye's short transit times. Offering both tubular and open-width fabric is a practical detail garment factories care about: tubular suits seamless-body T-shirt production, open width suits printed and cut-panel work, and a mill fluent in both can follow a buyer's existing cutting room practice.

Dokuboy's full Turkish name encodes its business: Dokumacilar (the weavers/knitters) Kumas (fabric) Boya (dyeing) Tekstil. The offer list — greige, ready to dye, bleached, printed and dyed — is a ladder of value the buyer can climb or stop on, and 'either tubular or open width' doubles the flexibility. Forty tons a day of knitted fabric is roughly a full container load every few hours, which is why the record leads with capacity: at that scale the mill's natural customers are program buyers — chains and large garment exporters — rather than spot purchasers, and mono- or bi-stretch versions of cotton, polyester, viscose and acrylic cover their casual ranges.

Sourcing and Working With Dokuboy

State the buying stage first: greige, bleached, printed or dyed — the price, lead time and risk split are different at each stage, and an integrated mill prices them as a ladder. For dyed fabric, the standing agreements are shade standard, fastness levels and shrinkage; for bi-stretch qualities, add elastane content and recovery, and whether the fabric is heat-set for width stability.

Tubular versus open width should be settled before sampling, not after: it changes usable width, cost per garment and which print methods are possible. At 40 tons a day, also discuss how your volume is scheduled — large plants run continuous colours and constructions more willingly than small spot lots, so consolidating shades across a season's program usually buys both price and priority.

Understanding the Range

Knitted fabrics — the family Dokuboy works in — are built from interlocking loops rather than interlaced yarns, which is why they stretch, recover and feel soft against the skin. Buyers comparing knitters should look past the headline fabric name to the machine gauge, the yarn count and the finishing route, because two fabrics both sold as 'Knitted and dyed cotton fabrics' can differ in all three. A well-run knit program also fixes how fabric is measured and paid for — by weight or by length — at the very first order, since knitted cloth relaxes, grows and shrinks in ways woven cloth does not, and most disputes in this trade are measurement disputes wearing a quality costume.
