Process

Yarn in one end, cartons out the other.

One building, one payroll, one set of records. Nothing in this sequence is subcontracted, which is why a shade that was approved in the dye house is still right in the carton.

Shade matching

How a colour gets approved before anything runs.

Dyeing is stage one, so a shade that is wrong is wrong in every stage after it. This is the sequence that stops that happening, and it is the same one on every order.

Lab dip 1 · On test
Dip 1 matches in daylight.Now switch the light.

Illustration · screen colours are simulated

  1. Step 01

    You send a reference

    A TCX number, a physical swatch, or a piece of previous production. A screen grab is not a reference.

  2. Step 02

    We dye a lab dip

    In our own dye house, on site. 90,000 kg a month of capacity, so your dip is not queued behind a bulk run.

  3. Step 03

    It is assessed under controlled light

    D65 in a lighting cabinet, cross checked under TL84 and incandescent. Metamerism is caught here, not on your floor.

  4. Step 04

    You approve it in writing

    The approved swatch is retained here, so a repeat is matched to the same physical standard, not to a memory.

Capacity

Every figure below is monthly output for the process beside it. Where a line says Pending, the number has not been confirmed and is deliberately not estimated.
