Metallic and Zari Yarn Technical Specifications

A useful B2B specification brings the product requirement, application context and available references into one clear enquiry.

Why a structured specification matters

A structured brief connects the product type, yarn construction, visual requirement, textile application and commercial context. It gives buying, technical and manufacturing teams one reference for the same enquiry.

Complete the fields that are known. Missing specifications can be reviewed during the technical discussion, using the application and any available sample as practical context.

Buyer context

Product, appearance, application, quantity, packing and sample information make those technical inputs easier to review.

Prepare the buyer brief

Buyer Specification Checklist

A complete enquiry does not require every field, but the more relevant information a buyer provides, the faster the requirement can be understood and reviewed.

01Product Type

Metallic Yarn, Zari Yarn, Filament Yarn, Twisted Yarn or a custom requirement.

02Film / Metallic Component

State the film or metallic-strip requirement, finish or appearance reference, and any known width or construction reference supplied with the brief.

03Core / Support Yarn

Identify the core or support yarn type, material or construction reference if that information is available from the requirement or sample.

04Denier

Record the known denier, target denier or “Not sure / needs review.” Review Denier.

05TPM

Record the known TPM, target TPM or “Not sure / needs review.” Review TPM.

07Colour / Finish

Gold, Silver, Copper, Rose Gold, Antique or a Custom reference. Explore Colours.

08Application

Weaving, Saree, Jacquard, Brocade, Embroidery, Knitting, Lace, Home Furnishing, Decorative Textiles or Other. Explore Applications.

09Quantity

Share the estimated quantity and unit so the commercial requirement can be reviewed with the specification.

10Packing Requirement

State spool, cone, standard industrial packing, a custom packing requirement or “Need recommendation” as the requested direction.

11Sample / Reference

Identify an existing yarn sample, image, approved shade, previous product reference or confirm that no sample is available.

Use construction and sample references together

Construction describes how yarn components are combined. A sample or reference can help identify the arrangement, appearance and product context that the buyer already has.

Review the original Yarn Construction diagram, then note which components and relationships are visible or already specified in the requirement.

Specification FAQs

Does every checklist field need to be complete?

No. Complete the information available to the buyer and mark missing denier, TPM or twist details for review.

How should an existing sample be described?

Identify whether it is a yarn sample, image, approved shade or previous product reference, then add the application and known specification details.

What belongs in the commercial brief?

Include the estimated quantity and unit, requested packing direction and the technical or sample information already assembled.
