How Do Calculate The Fabric & Yarn Consumption Of A Yarn Dyed T-Shirt?

How Do Calculate The Fabric & Yarn Consumption Of A Yarn Dyed T-Shirt?

 

Suppose, you receive a yarn dyed t-shirt order from buyer. Details as below

 

Style:

100% cotton, Single jersey, 160 gsm yarn dyed round neck t-shirt.

Color: 

Beige/Navy (only one combo)

Quantity:

10,000 pcs (in four sizes, S, M, L & XL)

Stripe:

Beige 7 cm & Navy 1.5 cm (Total LR = 8.5 cm)

Considering L Size Body

Body length:

73 cm

Sleeve length:

19.5 cm

½ Chest:

52 cm

     

 

Calculation of Fabric Consumption For Y/D

 

Cutting Body Length Calculation:

Total no of repletion to complete a body= BDY Length/ Total Length of Repetition

   = (73/8.5)

   = 8.58

But here we will count 9 repetitions for cutting & sewing wastage.

 

So, Body Length will be = Total Length of Repetition x No of repletion

        = 8.5 x 9 = 76.5 cm

 

Considering the body length = 76.5 cm we can easily calculate the consumption of a Yarn dyed t-shirt by Normal Consumption Formula.

 

But be careful, during the bulk yarn booking you should booked the yarn based on the consumption you got by using pattern & marker. Some time I saw buyer asked for match the body stripe with sleeve then the cutting wastage become more than 5%.

 

 

Calculation of Yarn Consumption of Bulk Dyeing for Y/D

 

Fabric Consumption: 2.78 Kgs/dozen (considering total wastage 18%) you may use this for pricing.

Normally the wastage of yarn dyed garments depends on styling.  

 

Normal wastage for yarn dyed:

Dyeing (yarn) wastage: 6%

Knitting wastage: 3%

Wash wastage: 5%

So, you should need 114 kgs yarn to produce 100 kgs fabric

 

 

Here,

Beige color stripe length= 7 cm

And Navy color stripe length= 1.5 cm

Total length of one repetition= 8.5 cm

 

Now we just calculate the percentage of each color in a body

 

Beige color stripe length

Beige color stripe Ratio= -------------------------------------- x 100

Total length of one repetition

 

                                    = (7 / 8.5) x 100

      = 82.35 %

 

 

Navy color stripe length

Navy color stripe Ratio= -------------------------------------- x 100

Total length of one repetition

 

                                    = (1.5 / 8.5) x 100

      = 17.65 %

 

So, Now if the consumption is 2.78 kg

 

Then

Beige color will be = 2.28933 kg (2.78 kg X 82.35%)

Navy color will be = 0.49067 kg (2.78 kg X 17.65%)

 

In this above way we can book the yarn for bulk production……….
