6. Warehouse arrangement & yarn
inspection
 As per buyer requirement we will purchase the yarn from yarn supplier. It can
be local or foreign yarn. Before purchase the yarn we must need clear idea
regarding the wastage percentage of the each types yarn.
Wastage consider in case of types of gauge and material quality:
In case of normal gauge/ regular gauge (3G, 5G, 7G); 4% production wastage is
considered except chenille yarn.
In case of fine gauge (10G, 12G) add 1% more wastage for any fine yarn except
chenille yarn. So production wastage is 4%+1%=5%.
In case of chenille yarn add 1% more wastage to the normal gauge and fine gauge.
So for normal gauge of chenille yarn wastage is 4%+1%=5% and fine gauge of
chenille yarn 5%+1%=6%.
 After in-house the yarn we should store yarn by their types & count. And check
or inspect the yarn:
 Color with swatch card,
 Quantity with order sheet.

7. Winding Section
 Winding section the yarn should be formed Hanks to
Cone / hard cone to soft cone.
 After receive the yarn from supplier we need to wind
these yarn by coning machine for knitting production.

8. Yarn cone distribution section
 After winding the yarn it goes to yarn distribution
section for distribution the yarn to the knitting
floor. Here we must ensure that, the correct yarn is
being distributed for correct gauge knitting machine.
 The distributor must distribute the yarn by weight
basis and also the knitted panel should be returned
accordingly to the distributor.

9. Knitting section
 In knitting section we should knit the body, sleeve etc of
the sweater by knitting machine. The operators of knitting
machine are called as knitting man. If the sweater is with
placket then we will make the placket by auto placket
machine.
 The decision to make by computer or hand machine is
depended on the complexity of the design.
 Sometimes, intarsia design will be done.

10. Knitted panel inspection
 After knitting the body parts, it will be inspected by the Q.C
team in the inspection section.

11. Linking section

the Linking section. In this section we join the front
part, back part, sleeve etc with the Linking machine.
 Loop to loop connection is done manually for high
quality garment.

12. Linking inspection section
Trimming section/ Linking continue
 After linking the body parts, it will be inspected by the
Q.C team in the inspection section.
 In this section the body will be trimmed.

13. Light check inspection
 After linking the body parts, it will be inspected by the
tubular light check machine..
 And also marked the mending hole.

14. Mending section
 From trimming section it will go to mending section
for mending on which hole has been marked in
trimming section.

15. Washing & drying section
 In this section we wash & dry the sweater. Then we
send it to the Iron section.

16. Pressing / Ironing section
 Here iron the body to fit the measurement and shape.

17. Finishing section
 After ironing the body we inspect the iron quality.
 After iron check we attached the label with the body
by sewing machine also button and zipper can be join
with body if those require.
 After attached the label with sweater, quality team
check all over quality. It’s called final quality.
 After the final check we sent the sweater to packing
section for poly & carton.

18. Conclusion
From above presentation we understand that every step
of manufacturing sweater is so important. Because if
we don’t give strong follow up on every stage then
bottle neck can be risen. So we should keep potential
follow up on all stage.
