Availability — read this before you plan an order
Turkmenistan knits at scale: the Gypjak complex alone is built for about 4,050 tonnes of knitted cloth a year, and knitwear — T-shirts, vests, boxers, pyjama sets — is quoted on the state commodity exchange every trading day. The cloth itself is a different matter. It has been offered for export only once, on 9 August 2023, when a trader cleared 30 tonnes of 2019 and 2020 production in the two loom-state constructions above. There has been no offer since. Knitted cloth is largely consumed inside the country and sold on as finished garments.
That does not mean it cannot be bought — it means it is a mill order rather than an off-the-shelf purchase, and the answer depends on the producer’s own capacity at the time. Ask early.
Applications
T-shirts, polo shirts and vests, sweatshirts and tracksuits, underwear and pyjamas, babywear and homewear. Footer is the fleece-backed sweatshirt cloth; lacoste and piqué are the textured polo-shirt cloths; jersey is the plain single-knit for tees.
