Mergeable Lots in Dyed Yarn Supply

Use this guide before a WhatsApp message or written requirement.
Repeat Planning
Mergeable lots are planned around approved shade standards and repeat-order needs.
- The approved shade standard should be clear before repeat-lot planning begins.
- Yarn type, shade, treatment, quantity, and timing can all affect repeat compatibility.
- The strongest brief includes the planned lot ladder, such as 30 kg, 60 kg, 120 kg, 240 kg, and above.
Improve Repeatability
Repeat programs work cleanly when procurement and production teams brief the manufacturer consistently.
- Use the same shade-number reference and physical standard where possible.
- Share application/end use so treatment and shade route are reviewed in context.
- Flag urgent timelines early so production planning can be reviewed before a promise is made.
