What the finishing mills do
Ruhabat Textile Complex and the other Ministry of Textile Industry plants take loom-state cloth off the Turkmen looms and dye, print and finish it to order. Designers at the complex work up patterns in-house, and customers can supply their own artwork. The dyeing lines run Monforts, Mario Crosta, Benninger and Reggiani equipment, and handle viscose alongside cotton.

Viscose-cotton
The finishing lines also dye viscose and viscose-cotton blends, which are not woven from Turkmen cotton alone and are quoted separately from the cotton range. Ask if you need a blend rather than 100% cotton.
Ordering
Finished cloth is specified by base cloth, weight, shade or design and width. Plain shades are made to a supplied reference; prints are made from the mill’s own library or from customer artwork. Minimum quantities depend on the number of colours in the design.
