Jersey, Footer and Rib Knits by the Roll for Apparel Manufacturers

This catalog section serves sewing factories that buy knitted cloth in rolls: 415 positions from 31 Russian circular-knitting mills. The assortment maps to a complete cut-and-sew program - single jersey (63 articles) and interlock for t-shirts and underwear, footer and sweatshirt fleece (53 plus 20 articles) for hoodies and joggers, ribana and kashkorse rib knits for cuffs and collars, printed knits, and faux fur for outerwear trim.

The practical advantage of sourcing knits from Russia is the cotton-rich composition at a moderate price point: mills here built their programs around childrenswear and basic apparel, segments where buyers in Central Asia, the Caucasus and the Middle East demand natural fiber content. Because the same mill typically knits the body fabric and the matching rib, a factory can buy a complete, color-matched kit for a garment in one order instead of reconciling shades across two suppliers.

  • Body fabrics: single jersey, interlock and footer in standard apparel weights
  • Trim knits: ribana and kashkorse supplied color-matched to the body cloth
  • Warm group: fleece and brushed footer for cold-season programs
  • Prints: 37 printed articles, with custom printing on stock greige possible
  • Terms: EXW or FCA mill; rolls consolidate easily for truck delivery to CIS markets or sea freight beyond

List the fabric types, weights and monthly meterage you consume in a sourcing request, and mills will quote with shade cards.

FAQ

What are typical roll parameters and how do I calculate shipping volume?
Knitted fabric usually ships in rolls of 15-25 kg, with open width around 180 cm or tubular widths of 90-100 cm depending on the article. Mills state weight per linear meter, so tonnage converts directly to meters. A 20-foot container carries roughly 9-12 tons of rolled knits; your supplier will provide exact packing data for the loading plan.
Can the mill dye fabric to my Pantone shades?
Yes, dye-to-order is standard. You send a Pantone reference or physical swatch, the mill produces a lab dip for approval, then dyes the batch. Minimums per shade typically run 200-500 kg. Approve lab dips under the light source your market uses, and keep an approved swatch on file for repeat orders.
How do you handle shrinkage - my garments must hold their size after washing?
Ask whether the article is compacted or otherwise pre-shrunk, and request the declared residual shrinkage figures, which mills measure under GOST methods. Cotton knits without compacting can shrink noticeably, so factories either order compacted fabric or build shrinkage allowance into patterns. Test a sample roll through your own wash protocol before committing to volume.
What is the minimum order for a first trial?
Stock-service mills sell trial quantities from one roll per article and color, around 20-25 kg. Production-to-order typically starts at 200-300 kg per color. A practical first step is a mixed trial order of several articles in stock shades to test sewing behavior, followed by a dyed-to-order program once specifications are settled.
Are these knits suitable for childrenswear regulations in my country?
Cotton-rich knits in this section are produced largely for the children's segment and carry EAC conformity documentation under EAEU technical regulations covering products for children where applicable. For your own market, request the fiber composition and dye information from the mill and run any locally required tests on production samples - mills are accustomed to such requests.
