Xingyun-Tex is a textile company in Shaoxing, China, developing and producing knitted and woven fabric for apparel brands and retailers worldwide — developed, dyed and finished in one place.
Loops drawn through loops. Soft, stretchy and forgiving — jersey and rib for tees and tops, terry and fleece for sweats, ponte and interlock for structure.
Yarns crossed at right angles. Stable, crisp and hard-wearing — shirting and blouse cloth, twills and chino, and outerwear.
We develop and produce both categories at one stop, which means one relationship, one quality standard and one conversation for a whole range.
Jersey, rib, interlock, French terry and brushed fleece, ponte and double knit, waffle, knit jacquard, mesh and warp knit. Gauges from 18 to 44, so the same floor makes a heavy loopback sweat and a fine summer top.
Shirting and blouse cloth, dress fabrics, twills and bottomweights and lightweight outerwear — across cotton, polyester, viscose, linen and nylon blends.
More than making cloth to a specification. Most of our customers use us from the first idea through to finished fabrics.
Seasonal direction read for fabric, and capsules developed before you ask for them.
From a brief, a photograph or a hanger, we build the quality card and knit or weave to it.
Checked at every stage, tested in house, reported in your own format.
Where quality is decided
Two fabrics can share a fibre, a construction and a weight and feel nothing alike. What separates them happens after the cloth comes off the machine.
How we finishFibre, chemistry and measurement. Every one of these is a document we can provide.
Producing knitted and woven fabrics for brands and retailers across Europe, the United Kingdom, the Americas and Asia Pacific.
Send us a hanger, a photograph or a sketch. We will tell you how to make it, what it will cost and when you can have it.
About us
Xingyun-Tex is a textile company in Shaoxing, Zhejiang — the largest textile district in China — with full capacity in knitted and woven fabric. We were established in 2010, with production operations running since 2006.
We develop and produce cloth and we sell it directly. There is no layer between the person you email and the people who develop and produce the fabric. Our technical and R&D team have spent their careers in knitted and woven fabric, and our customers reach them rather than an account manager reading from a file.
We supply brands and retailers across Europe, the United Kingdom, the Americas and Asia Pacific — some of them for more than a decade.
We supply fabric directly as a nominated supplier, or to our customers' designated garment vendors. Either route carries the same quality card, the same shade standard and the same test report.
Since 2024 we have worked alongside garment factories in China, Bangladesh, Vietnam and India, so we can follow production wherever a customer places it.
Weft and warp knitting, dyeing, finishing and brushing. The beginning of twenty years in fabric.
Woven production begins alongside the knitting floor, on Toyota and Italian looms.
The company takes its present form and name, with its own knitting unit.
Annual yarn capacity booked with the Shandong and Lanxi mills for imported cotton.
A fully compliant, certified dyeing partner in Zhejiang joins our own finishing.
A dedicated production and marketing team, separate from operations, so customers get focused attention.
A new office in Keqiao CBD, with our own export operation.
Cooperation with garment factories in China, Bangladesh, Vietnam and India.
What we are working towards
People, passion and partnership — and by 2030, 85% of our production made in a sustainable and eco-friendly way.
Producing knitted and woven fabrics for brands and retailers worldwide.
Services
You can buy a quality from our range and nothing more. Most customers use us for considerably more than that.
We would rather bring a proposal than wait for a brief.
Each season our design team reads the direction specifically for fabric — constructions, weights, textures and colour rather than silhouettes — and develops capsules aimed at particular customers before they ask. We can send seasonal hanger sets to your studio, and work from your own mood boards and colour cards when you have them.
A brief, a photograph or a hanger. We work it out.
Send us a reference and we reverse-engineer the construction, propose a route to it and build the quality card. You get a first hanger, lab dips for your shades, strike-offs where there is print, and a test report before bulk. If your reference is a woven and a knit would serve you better, or the other way round, we will say so.
Direct to you, or to the factory making your garments.
We supply as a nominated fabric supplier, shipping directly, or we supply your designated garment vendors while you keep the fabric decision. Both routes carry the same quality card, shade standard and test report, so a style made in two countries comes back the same. On agreed core qualities we hold greige stock so replenishment runs to a shorter cycle.
Checked at every stage, not only at the end.
Our QA team starts at yarn arrival and stays with the fabric through knitting or weaving, dyeing, finishing and final inspection. We test in house to AATCC, ISO and BS methods, or to your own quality manual where you have one, and the report travels with the goods.
Claims you can safely print.
Certificates, transaction documents, chain-of-custody records and lot-level traceability from yarn through to shipment. If you need fibre origin documented, or content claims that will survive an audit, we prepare them alongside the order rather than scrambling for them afterwards.
One person who knows your programme.
Order tracking with updates at each production stage, roll length and packing to your specification, inner protection and anti-yellowing measures for long sea freight, and shipping through Ningbo and Shanghai. You get told when something slips, early, rather than discovering it at the port.
Tell us what you are trying to make. The fabric conversation is easier once we understand the garment.
Technical capability
Knitting, weaving, dyeing, finishing, colour management and testing — with the numbers behind each.
Circular knitting producing jersey, terry, rib, interlock and other constructions in plain fabric, stripes and mini-jacquards.
Karl Mayer warp knitting for high-performance constructions and sportswear.
Italian and Toyota looms producing shirting, dress and blouse cloth, bottomweights and outerwear fabrics.
Air-jet weaving, warp beam and reed
Since 2016 we have booked annual capacity with the Shandong and Lanxi spinning mills, specifically for imported cotton and imported cotton yarn. Yarn is a position we hold, not something we buy on the spot market when an order arrives.
Five routes to shade, and the equipment to hold it across repeat orders.
Shade is managed on a spectrophotometer with an automatic colour dispenser, so a repeat order in season three matches the one you approved in season one.
Hand is built through process. A fabric loaded with softener feels good in a showroom and disappointing after twenty washes.
Singeing, scouring and bioscouring, bleaching, mercerising, heat setting.
Peaching and emerising, brushing and napping, shearing, sueding, calendering, tumbling, hydrophilic silicone softeners, garment wash effects.
Compacting to tolerance, spirality control, relaxation drying, anti-crease and easy care.
Moisture management and wicking, quick dry, cooling finishes, UPF sun protection, odour control, PFAS-free water repellency, anti-static.
Anti-pilling, anti-snag, fixing agents for wash and rub fastness, anti-migration, anti-yellowing for long sea freight.
Cold pad batch and low-liquor dyeing, digital printing over rotary, bio-based softeners, a ZDHC-conformant chemical inventory.
We test to AATCC, ISO and BS methods, and to a customer's own quality manual where one exists. Reports travel with the fabric.
A checkpoint at every stage. Our QA team starts at raw material procurement, not at final inspection.
A certificate is only as good as the record connecting it to the roll you receive. We track material through every transfer point.
| Stage | What is recorded |
|---|---|
| Yarn lot | Supplier, certificate reference and origin documentation on arrival |
| Knitting or weaving | Yarn lot linked to greige roll and machine record |
| Dyeing | Greige lot linked to dye batch and shade approval |
| Finishing | Batch linked to finish route and test report |
| Shipment | Roll-level record connecting finished goods back to the original yarn lot |
Fabrics
Knitted and woven, across cotton, cellulosics, polyester, nylon, linen and their blends.
Knits are made from loops, which is why they stretch, drape and forgive. They make up most of what people actually wear day to day.
The plainest and most useful knit there is. Smooth on the face, soft, and light enough to layer. This is a T-shirt, a vest, a simple dress.
110 – 200 gsmVertical ridges that pull in and spring back. Used for cuffs, collars and waistbands, and on its own for close-fitting tops and ribbed dresses.
180 – 280 gsmA denser double knit, smooth on both sides, with more body than jersey and very little curl. Good for structured tops and children's wear.
200 – 280 gsmFlat on the face with soft loops on the back. The classic sweatshirt cloth — warm without weight, and it takes a garment wash beautifully.
240 – 320 gsmTerry with the back loops brushed open into a soft nap. Warmer, heavier, and the standard for winter sweats and hoodies.
280 – 400 gsmFirm, stable and slightly weighty, with enough structure to hold a shape. Used for jersey tailoring, dresses and unlined blazers.
260 – 360 gsmA grid of raised cells that traps air and creates texture. Loungewear, thermal layers and textured tops.
180 – 280 gsmPattern built into the cloth as it is knitted rather than printed on afterwards. It does not wash out and it never cracks.
180 – 320 gsmSmall deliberate openings in the knit for a light, decorative surface. A summer knit that still reads as knitwear.
130 – 180 gsmFancy yarns knitted for surface interest — loops, slubs and nubs that catch the light. An elevated, tactile finish.
260 – 380 gsmOpen, light and breathable. Sports layers, linings, and anywhere a garment needs air to move through it.
90 – 180 gsmMade on a different machine entirely, with yarns running lengthwise. Smooth, dimensionally stable, and the base for most technical and performance pieces.
120 – 260 gsmWovens are made from yarns crossing at right angles, which is why they hold a crease, keep a shape and wear hard. They are what shirting, tailoring and trousers are made of.
Fine, smooth and closely woven, with a crisp hand that presses well. The standard for a good shirt, in plain, stripe or check.
90 – 140 gsmA basketweave with visible texture, or small woven patterns built into the cloth. More casual than poplin and more interesting up close.
110 – 170 gsmThe diagonal line you see on chinos and workwear. Stronger and more drapey than a plain weave, and it hides creasing well.
150 – 300 gsmHeavier, denser cloth built for trousers, overshirts and utility pieces. Substantial in the hand and hard-wearing.
220 – 380 gsmFluid, soft and light, falling close to the body. Dresses, blouses and anything that should move rather than hold.
90 – 160 gsmDry to the touch, cool to wear, with the irregular slub that gives linen its character. Pure, or blended with cotton or viscose.
120 – 230 gsmA weave that floats yarns on the surface for lustre and a smooth, cool hand. Occasion dressing and details.
90 – 180 gsmTightly woven polyester and nylon for lightweight jackets and shells, with water-repellent and windproof finishes available.
70 – 200 gsmColour dyed into the yarn before weaving, so the pattern runs right through the cloth and holds its fastness.
100 – 220 gsmWeight ranges are indicative. Exact specifications are confirmed on the quality card for each development.
Any construction above can be built across these, alone or blended.
Sustainability
Every standard below is a document we can provide, with a number and an expiry date. We would rather give you a claim you can safely print than an adjective.
| Standard | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Better Cotton | Cotton sourced through the Better Cotton system, with mass-balance chain of custody |
| Global Recycled Standard | Verified recycled content with chain of custody, for recycled cotton and polyester qualities |
| OEKO-TEX Standard 100 | Tested for harmful substances against the standard's limit values |
| ZDHC | Chemical management to the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals programme, including MRSL conformance |
| Higg Index | Facility environmental performance measurement, reportable to customers |
| TENCEL™ Lyocell | Lenzing lyocell, produced in a closed-loop solvent process |
| Lenzing Modal | Beech-derived modal, produced with carbon-neutral certification |

| Livaeco | Aditya Birla viscose with fibre-level traceability |
Target
By 2030, 85% of our production made in a sustainable and eco-friendly way — from fibre to finished fabric.
A certificate on its own proves very little. What matters is the record connecting it to the roll in your warehouse. We hold a lot-level record from yarn arrival through to shipment, which is what supports Better Cotton chain of custody, GRS content claims and any origin-verification programme you operate.
