One step beforethe fabric.
100% cotton carded yarn — counts 16's to 32's, single or double, hank or cone — spun in Theni and supplied to textile manufacturers across six Indian states.
Five counts, drawn attheir real thickness.
Count is an inverse measure — 32’s is finer than 16’s, not coarser. It is the single thing buyers outside the trade most often read backwards.
Strand thickness drawn in proportion to 1 / count — a higher count is a finer yarn
Hank or coneis the first question.
It decides which machine the yarn can go onto without an extra rewinding step, so it’s settled before count and quantity are worth discussing. The mill produces both, in every count.
Hank
Loose coiled bundles, tied rather than wound tight. Preferred where the yarn still has to take dye, and by handloom weavers who work off a skein.

Raw cotton tofinished cone.
Four stages on one floor in Theni. Each one takes the fibre thinner and more even than the last — which is the entire craft.
Stage 01Carding
Raw cotton is combed through fine wire rollers into a soft rope called a sliver, taking impurities out with it.
Stage 02Drawing & roving
Several passes thin the sliver and add a small amount of twist, preparing it to be spun without breaking.
Stage 03Spinning
Fibre becomes yarn at the ordered count — finer counts drawn thinner and twisted tighter, coarser counts left fuller.
Stage 04Winding
Into hanks for dyeing and handloom, or cross-wound onto cones for power looms and knitting machines. The mill produces both.
What buyers areactually paying for.
Cotton yarn is a commodity, and a distant buyer always has a local supplier to choose instead. Keeping them means the yarn — and the reliability behind it — has to be worth the distance.
- 01Count consistency, batch to batch
- Bulk buyers aren't buying yarn so much as predictability on the loom. Dedicated production management is what holds a count steady across orders.
- 02Maintenance ahead of faults
- Dedicated maintenance cover on the factory floor, which is the difference between planned downtime and a batch that quietly drifts off-spec.
- 03One accountable team
- Accounts and commercial functions run from the same factory, under the same directors who oversee the group's automobile businesses.
