  • FOB Karachi
  • Minimum order: One 40ft container

Ne 30/1 combed compact yarn is the workhorse count for single jersey T-shirt and underwear fabric, and one of the most traded cotton yarns in the world. Large export volumes come from India, Pakistan, Uzbekistan and Vietnam, with Türkiye also spinning for its own knitting sector. Buyers are knitting mills and fabric producers in Bangladesh, Türkiye, Egypt, Iran and the CIS. Price per kg follows cotton futures and the Cotlook A Index closely, plus spinning margins, energy costs and local currency moves, and it is usually renegotiated monthly. Certified cotton such as BCI, organic or recycled blends carries a premium. We offer the yarn on an FOB Karachi basis, as spot container lots or monthly contracts, with a mill test report for each lot.
