Prepare a Shade Sample for Custom Yarn
A short buyer checklist for shade samples, shade codes, quantity, application, and custom dyed yarn development.
Short Answer
A strong shade brief includes a physical sample, approved shade code, yarn type, quantity, application, and timing. Screen images are context only.
Buyer Notes
Use this guide before a WhatsApp message or written requirement.
Best Reference
Physical references reduce ambiguity in a way screen images cannot.
- Send a physical yarn or shade sample wherever possible.
- Use an approved shade code or shade-card reference when a physical standard is not ready yet.
- Treat photos and screen images as context only because lighting, camera processing, and monitor calibration can shift perceived shade.
Add Lot Plans
Shade development is easier when sample, trial, and production expectations are clear.
- Kanwer can discuss 15 kg trial or sample lots and 30 kg+ production lots with qualifiers.
- Sample or lab dip timing is typically 3-7 days, subject to yarn, shade complexity, treatment, and sample clarity.
- Repeat shade-number programs should be tied to an approved standard and compatible lot planning.
