Dew-Retted Heilongjiang Flax against Imported Water-Retted Bales
Dew-retted Heilongjiang flax provides cost savings for medium counts, while imported water-retted bales deliver the fineness needed for yarn counts above Nm 50.
Fabric Cost per Linear Metre
Transactional Basis
Financial valuation of woven material based on the length of the roll regardless of its width acts as the standard unit for trade between weaving mills and garment factories. Transactional agreements for fabric cost per linear metre require the inclusion of yarn inputs, loom electricity and labor overheads. Buyer contracts use this figure to set seasonal pricing for standard widths.
Variable Component
Fluctuations in raw flax prices and spinning efficiency ripple through the production chain to alter the final price. While yarn weight might stay constant, the fabric cost per linear metre changes if the density of the weave or the complexity of the finishing increases. Heavyweight canvases carry higher costs than lightweight sheers due to the volume of material used.
Finishing processes such as bleaching or softening add further layers of expense that are calculated at this stage. These additions ensure the buyer pays for the specific functional properties of the textile.
Procurement Limit
Shipping and waste management calculations rely on this specific metric to ensure budget adherence across large orders. If the fabric cost per linear metre exceeds the target price, the mill might adjust the yarn count or the reed density to maintain margins. This figure stays fixed for the duration of a purchase order.
