Manufacturing Programme
Fersan Tekstil is a vertically integrated polyester knitted fabric manufacturer in Çorlu, Türkiye, running a separate Raschel warp-knitting park alongside its circular-knit line — ~1,350 tonnes a month in total since 1982.
Let us start with an honest distinction: Raschel is not a variant of weft (circular) knitting but a separate technology. In warp knitting the yarns loop vertically along the fabric length, and the result is a structure that does not ladder, does not unravel when cut and does not curl at the edge. That stability is what makes open-pore fabrics — tulle, mesh, eyelet, jacquard and elastane power net — safe to manufacture. Our Raschel park is dedicated to this work alone, running as a production line independent of our circular-knit hall.
We produce for a buyer range stretching from curtain and tulle confectioners to sports and shapewear makers, across Western Europe, Russia and the CIS, and routinely produce to the test standards of European sports and apparel brands. The ordering terms below are the same figures we quote.
160–230 g/m²
60–110 g/m²
180–280 g/m²
280–500 g/m²
200–320 g/m²
Weight windows come from catalogue data; final specs are confirmed on a sample.

Figures are typical ranges; exact terms are confirmed with your quotation.
Finds a fabric’s actual weight from the mass and size of the swatch you cut — valid for every fabric type, including woven, weft knit and warp knit.
| Sample mass (g) | Fabric weight (g/m²) | Imperial equivalent (oz/yd²) | Sample area (cm²) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.4 | 140 | 4.13 | 100 |
| 1.8 | 180 | 5.31 | 100 |
| 3.2 | 320 | 9.44 | 100 |
Estimating weight from construction is technology-specific: weaving needs thread density and crimp, weft knitting needs loop length, and warp knitting (raschel, tricot) needs the run-in per guide bar. Some of those are MACHINE parameters — a buyer holding the fabric cannot know them. Weighing makes no construction assumption at all: it works the same way for every fabric type, even nonwovens, and the result is a measurement rather than an estimate.
A larger sample is more precise, because cutting tolerance and balance error stay small relative to the total. A 100 cm² circular cutter is common for ISO 3801; measuring by hand, 10 × 10 cm is a practical baseline. Cut clean edges, flatten creases, and take the sample from the body of the fabric rather than the selvedge; sampling several points and averaging also reveals within-lot variation.
For a figure you intend to declare, yes. Textile fibres take up moisture from the air and the balance weighs that moisture too; the standard atmosphere is 20 °C and 65% relative humidity. Polyester has very low regain (0.4%), so the deviation is small, but it becomes significant in cotton blends. To convert to commercial (conditioned) weight, use the conditioned weight calculator.
Three usual causes: whether the fabric is greige or finished (finishing, compacting and heat-setting all raise weight), whether the sample was damp or dry, and within-lot tolerance. Catalogue weights are given as typical bands; the acceptance tolerance is stated per order in your quotation. If you have measured a difference, share your sample size and weighing conditions and we will verify it together.
In warp knitting, development starts with the machine set-up: the pore layout, the jacquard pattern and the elastane share that sets a power net’s support level are built around your project; colours are approved via lab-dip, and dimensional stability and stretch-recovery are test-reported per order. Quotation requests are answered within 2 business days.

We work with 500–1,000 kg per colour; for jacquard patterns the exact figure is confirmed per design with your quotation, since a machine set-up is required.
For standard structures, typical lead time is 3–4 weeks from order confirmation to dispatch; for a new jacquard design the set-up is stated with the lead time in the quotation. We ship EXW, FOB or DAP; quotation requests are answered within 2 business days.
In weft knitting a single yarn travels across the width forming loops; in warp knitting hundreds of warp yarns are fed from a beam and each knits its own loop vertically. That is why warp knits do not ladder, do not unravel at cut edges and stay more dimensionally stable — the right technology for open structures like mesh and tulle.
Yes — the jacquard mechanism knits the pattern straight into the ground; it is not a print. Your motif is set up on the machine and approved on a sample. Because a pattern set-up is involved, jacquard work is planned with a minimum production run.
No — since warp-knit loops interlock vertically, the structure does not ladder, holes do not grow and edges do not curl. In garment making that means easier cut-and-sew than weft-knit mesh, and pores that keep their shape in use.
