Jacquard design areas
Start with how metallic yarn appears in the woven pattern.
Identify the part of the pattern carrying the metallic effect, then discuss construction and specification against the intended jacquard textile.
Repeating Patterns
Metallic elements repeated across jacquard fabric designs.
Borders / Edge Details
Decorative metallic effects used in woven edge or border patterns.
Highlight Elements
Selected portions of a pattern using metallic visual emphasis.
Geometric Designs
Metallic elements incorporated into structured geometric jacquard patterns.
Floral / Ornamental Designs
Metallic visual details incorporated into ornamental woven artwork.
All-over Pattern
Metallic effects distributed through a broader jacquard design.
Visual direction
What metallic effect should the jacquard pattern create?
Use a colour or design reference to communicate the intended direction. Final colour and finish remain part of the requirement discussion.
Bright Gold
A more prominent gold visual direction within the pattern.
Antique Gold
A muted, traditional gold appearance.
Silver
A clean silver-toned direction within the woven design.
Copper
A warm copper-toned metallic direction.
Rose Gold
A warm rose-toned metallic direction.
Subtle Metallic
A softer metallic accent within the woven design.
High-Contrast Metallic
A more visible metallic element against the surrounding textile.
Custom Shade / Reference
Begin from a fabric, yarn, colour or design reference.
Start from the design
Have the jacquard design, but not the yarn specification?
You can begin with the fabric design, metallic effect, colour direction and available reference. If construction, denier, twist or TPM is already known, include those details. If not, provide the information you currently have for technical discussion.

Jacquard application FAQ
Questions for preparing a jacquard yarn enquiry.
Do I need to know the exact yarn type before contacting Suvarnatantu?
No. You can begin with the jacquard design, colour direction, metallic area and available fabric or yarn reference.
What information is useful for a jacquard metallic-yarn enquiry?
Share the fabric or end product, pattern type, metallic area, colour direction, visual effect, known yarn details, reference material and approximate quantity.
Can I start from an existing jacquard fabric or yarn sample?
Yes. An existing fabric, yarn, pattern image, shade or technical reference can be used to begin the requirement discussion.
What if I do not know denier or TPM?
Provide the information you already have. Technical variables can be discussed after the application and reference requirement are clearer.
Can I request a sample before a bulk order discussion?
Use the Sample Request route to begin the sample discussion, then continue toward RFQ once the requirement is better defined.
