Fabric Status Update

At the moment we have 11 fabrics on order.  Three are new designs.  One is a recolor of an existing design.  Four are reprints of designs and three are solids we are running again.  Of the 11, three are twills and the rest are sateens.

I am told the sateens will ALL be printed by the end of next week.  I am anxiously awaiting production yardage and will let you know once that has been received.  After I approve the fabric, it will begin its long journey from India to South Carolina. 

The twills are another story and we have had a bit of a set back.  The fabric was woven and then testing was done and unfortunately the yarn was faulty and the fabric did not pass strength tests.  Of course it is better to find this out now before the fabric is printed and we are grateful to know that quality control is happening.  However, this means those 3 twills we have on order will be delayed while new yarn is made and fabric is woven.  At this point in time I am hoping they arrive before year end.
