knit fabric consumption, Neck

Calculating knit fabric consumption is essential in T-shirt, polo shirt, leggings, hoodie, and other stretch garment production. Here's a standard and practical method used in the industry. ✅ 1. Key Formula (Basic Knit Fabric Consumption) Fabric Consumption (grams) = Length (m) × Width (m) × GSM × ( 1 + Shrinkage + Wastage ) Fabric Consumption (grams)=Length (m)×Width (m)×GSM×(1+Shrinkage+Wastage) 📌 Where: Length = marker length required for one garment (in meters) Width = fabric width in meters (e.g., 72 inches = 1.83 m) GSM = fabric weight (e.g., 160 GSM for single jersey) Shrinkage = typically 3–5% Wastage = typically 7–10% for knit fabrics ✅ 2. Example: Basic Knit T-Shirt Parameter Value Fabric GSM 160 Fabric Width 1.83 m Marker Length 0.85 m Shrinkage Allowance 5% (0.05) Wastage Allowance 8% (0.08) 👉 Insert into formula: = 0.85 × 1.83 × 160 × ( 1 + 0.05 + 0.08 ) =0.85×1.83×160×(1+0.05+0.08) = 0.85 × 1.83 × 160 × 1.13 =0.85×1.83×160×1.13 = 282.4   𝑔 𝑟 𝑎 𝑚 𝑠 =282.4 grams Email address for business inquiries: [email protected] #Textile Solution
