SGS Interknits

Company Profile

The range is built around loop-pile constructions: single and double side plain terry, terry on one side with velour on the other, and a Lamberty shearing machine to finish velour surfaces. Weights run from 125 to 650 GSM, machine diameters are 26 and 30 inches, and finished widths run 28 to 36 inches tubular for plain terry and 52 to 64 inches open width for velour. Fibres span cotton, polyester, wool, rayon, acrylic, lurex, viscose, nylon and blends, and the classification also lists corduroy, French terry, pile, velvet, yarn-dyed, blanket and fleece fabrics.

Knitted fabrics — the family SGS Interknits 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 terry and velour fabrics — plain, striped, sherpa and' 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.

Sourcing and Working With SGS Interknits

Terry sourcing turns on pile specification: state the construction (plain, striped, sherpa or jacquard), the weight within the 125 to 650 GSM range, and whether the fabric is wanted tubular or open width. For velour, confirm the shearing finish expected, since that step creates the surface. The contact in the record is S.N. Myilswamy at the Mudalipalayam, Tirupur address; confirm current machine availability for jacquard terry when you write.

Before placing volume, agree the inspection basis in writing: who inspects SGS Interknits's cloth, against which defect standard, and what happens to a rejected lot. Then lock the commercial basics that cause most disputes in this trade — the unit of measure, the tolerance on weight and width, the shade band accepted between lots, and the packing form. A buyer who settles those five points at sampling stage rarely has a quality argument later, because both sides are measuring the same fabric against the same paper.

Understanding the Range

Reading a knitted range like this one starts with construction families. Jersey-family cloths are the volume basics — light, draping and quick to knit — while interlock and double knits trade some drape for opacity and stability, rib brings crosswise stretch for cuffs, bands and fitted styles, and fleece and terry add a raised or looped back that changes warmth and hand feel completely. When a mill lists several families together, as SGS Interknits does, the practical question is which of them run on the same yarn and gauge platform, because those are the qualities that can share shades, minimums and delivery slots most easily in a combined order.
