The fabric library: constructions, finishes, prints and seams.

Drift often starts in the fabric, so this is where a program should start too. Here is every construction we knit, what each one does, and where it usually goes.

Ohzehn Textiles knits jersey, interlock, rib, mesh, tricot, powernet, stable-stretch and seamless fabrics on warp, circular and seamless machines in Fuzhou. Finishes include hand-feel finishing. Decoration covers sublimation, digital and screen print. OHZEHN-TEX™, our bio-based nylon from castor oil, is an option. Every batch is tested in an on-site lab.

03 · Warp or circular

The machine decides what the fabric can do.

Circular knitting forms loops across the width of a tube of fabric, the way hand knitting does. That gives jersey, interlock and rib: soft, stretchy, the workhorse of tees, basics and leggings.

Warp knitting forms loops down the length of the fabric, each yarn running its own path. That gives tricot and powernet: stable, run-resistant and controlled in stretch, which is why bras, shapewear and swim are built on them.

Seamless knitting builds the garment itself as a tube, so there is no side seam to rub or show.

Lace and jacquard, from inside the group.

The LFT (Luen Fung Textiles) group we sit downstream of designs, knits, dyes and finishes its own fabrics, including wide lace, lace fabric and jacquard, used in women's underwear, bras, evening wear and fashion. LFT designs its own lace and jacquard patterns.

08 · Custom development

Change the fabric, not only the pattern.

On full package, we source or knit the fabric, develop the product and run the program. Because knitting, dyeing, finishing and testing run in one chain, the construction, weight, finish and decoration can be set for your garment. That is customization that is not available when fabric and cut-and-sew are bought separately.

Weights and minimums for a custom fabric are quoted against your style on a call. Fabric minimums and cut-and-sew minimums are different things, and we tell you which is which.

12 · FAQ

Questions about fabrics.

What is the difference between warp knit and circular knit?

Circular knitting forms loops across the width of a tube of fabric, which gives jersey, interlock and rib: soft, stretchy fabrics for tees, basics and leggings. Warp knitting forms loops down the length, each yarn on its own path, which gives tricot and powernet: stable, run-resistant fabrics with controlled stretch, used in bras, shapewear and swim.

Can you develop a custom fabric?

Yes, on full package. Because knitting, dyeing, finishing and testing run in one chain, we can change the fabric itself, not only the pattern. That is customization you cannot get when fabric and cut-and-sew are bought separately. Construction, finish and decoration are set against your garment. Minimums for a custom fabric are quoted on a call.

What fabric weights do you offer?

Weights are set against your garment and quoted on a call, because the right weight depends on the construction, the finish and what the piece has to do. OHZEHN-TEX™, our own bio-based fabric, comes in named weights: 180, 220, 260 P and Seamless. Send a tech pack or reference garment and we will tell you what fits.

Is your chemistry PFAS-free?

Yes. PFAS-free chemistry, no fluorinated DWR. PFAS is also on the panel every batch is tested for, alongside BPA, phthalates, heavy metals, formaldehyde and azo dyes, in an on-site lab the group part-owns.

Can you make lace?

Lace comes from inside the group. The LFT group we sit downstream of designs, knits, dyes and finishes its own fabrics, including wide lace, lace fabric and jacquard, used in women's underwear, bras, evening wear and fashion. LFT designs its own lace and jacquard patterns.

What is OHZEHN-TEX™?

OHZEHN-TEX™ is our own bio-based performance fabric platform: bio-based nylon PA6.10 made from castor oil, with a bio-based stretch fibre made from sugarcane. It has four-way stretch and comes in 180, 220, 260 P and Seamless. It leaves out PFAS coatings, BPA, phthalate and formaldehyde finishes, and antimicrobial silver. It is an option, not a requirement.
