How to read a fabric specification sheet | Nantong Huayuan Textile Co., Ltd.

On this page

The fields, in the order buyers ask about them

Field	What it tells you
Composition	Fibre mix by weight, e.g. 98% cotton 2% elastane. Drives care, hand and price.
Construction	Weave or knit structure — poplin, twill, oxford, ripstop. Predicts drape and use.
Yarn count & density	Finesseness of yarn and threads per unit — the “thread count” of a cloth.
Weight (GSM)	See the weight guide.
Width	Usable width excluding selvedge — sets how many panels you cut per metre.
Colour fastness	Graded with the test method named, e.g. ISO 105-C06. Method matters as much as the grade.
Shrinkage	Dimensional change after a stated wash, with the method.
MOQ & lead time	Per colour and per construction; see published terms.

Always read the method with the number. A fastness “4” under ISO is not the same claim as “4” under an unnamed test.
Compare bands, not headlines. A weight with no tolerance is a guess.
End use closes the loop. The right spec is the one your garment actually needs, not the highest number on the sheet.

Every fabric we list has a downloadable CSV / JSON with these fields filled from the same source as the website — no retyping, no drift.

Common questions

What if a field is blank on a spec?

A blank means we have not confirmed it for that article, not that it is zero. Ask and we will fill it from the test or mark it as not claimed.

Why do you name the test method next to every number?

Because the same grade under two methods is not the same promise. Naming the method lets you compare us against another mill honestly.
