Here is some fabric that local sale mans are now using for present the Kongkiat products. This concept is showing that our products can be knitted or weaved together the get the most effect for the striped fabric pattern as well. Moreover, you can adjust the price of the final fabric related to the market and design at the same time.

All the designed fabrics shown here are knitting fabric and do use the Kongkiat’s most recent innovative yarn such as EEL YARN,ZERO YARN,SLUBX.

The brief description for each product

EEL YARN is one of the most recently-developed yarn. The effect of EEL YARN is like the stripe of the color but not long like the COMET YARN. EEL EFFECT can be produced as any colors and can be produced from polyester or cotton. If you decide to use EEL effect that made from polyester ; of course , you can do the overdyed on EEL effect fabric with reactive dye to put the dyestuff onto the cotton part only. However, for the cotton EEL YARN, you have to be careful about the overdyeing due to the fact that if you dye the dark shade, dyestuff with effect the color of the EEL effect as well.

ZERO YARN is the yarn that has the color effect in yarn. The fabric that made from ZERO YARN has to be dyed and the color of the darker stripe will appear after the fabric is dyed with reactive dye. (Reactive dyestuff is recommended for the dyeing process). Normally, you cannot get this kind of effect with normal cotton but not for ZERO YARN. The yarn can be dyed with the reactive dyestuff up to 2% and recommended to be dyed with light or medium shade only to gain the benefit of the ZERO effect. Kongkiat has not dyeing in the package; therefore, the recommendation for now is “dyeing with reactive dyestuff on fabric”. However, the cost of production will force the manufacturers to do as it is suposed. ZERO YARN can be bleached or scoured like normal cotton yarn if you customers will do other process that is not the normal recommend process,please be sure to consult us first or do the testing first for the final prove.

SLUBX YARN is one of the famous effect at the present time. Normally, the slub is not as long as Kongkiat’s slub because those normal SLUB effect can be easily created by the ring spinning process with special device. Therefore, the market for the normal slub is in the red ocean which everyone can produce and of course, dump the price down without selling point at all.  However, for Kongkiat’s SLUBX is made from polyester(65%) and cotton(35%) that can create the longer SLUB effect.

space dyed for fashion Spring 2009

I have found one of Kongkiat products that designer uses in the collection for Spring 2009 in Glemaud. The designer use the randomness to create the pattern with sweater garment. This is the hard way to work on Space dyed yarn with sweater. However, if it’s just one sweater to show on the catwalk, it is definitely worth designing the sweater this way. I could not believe that Kongkiat products now are used in different section of the garment and textile industries. Designers are now utilizing the new concept of fashion which is dig into the uniqueness of yarn such as Kongkiat products , in this case, “space dyed yarn”. If you have found our products that are published on international websites like Nytimes.com in fashion section or in the news. Please email the link to me, I would like the add the link from our blog to them.

In the picture, the pattern will be created randomly due to the fact that the dyed color repeats itself in sweater and it’s unavoidable. Designers or manufacturers should know that every single sweater cannot be duplicated.

However, if designers use our SPACE dyed yarn to create the piece of the art by knitted fabric. The pattern like this will not show.The whole fabric is the same with the color and pattern from start to end of the fabric.

I really have no idea why the categories do not show on the first page when I am trying to use the Revolution Theme. I do not have the experience in codeing the php or html so much ; however, I can read what other people wrote about the wordpress and the configuration in forum so that I can really learn from working thought step by step.

If you do not have the experience in writing blog in wordpress just like me, don ‘t be so scare to work on it for a while. You will be comforted with using wordpress and later on you can move on the the much deeper topic like css.
