At this moment, you include extra yarn. Why?

India is setting an amazing standard for women-led factories. Namely: tharangini, blank studio, 5P, and 2up2down 💙

[Glass Factory @glassfactory__]

Stepping into our third block printing unit during our India trip - by far the most fascinating.

Tharangini has one of the most extensive collections of blocks in Bengaluru - a city of 30 million people with only 3 block makers left.

@hemangvv @kaidi_wu @oheyandrea Speaking with factory management in India, we are hearing similar reporting - especially in terms of willingness to consider the holistic operation as opposed to interpersonal relationships

[Glass Factory @glassfactory__]

@kaidi_wu These are very interesting findings that partially align with the realities we are seeing on the ground in India, at least in the context of textile manufacturing

@PythonMaps Fascinating - let’s talk maps of manufacturing👀

[Glass Factory @glassfactory__]

In this factory, the fabric is relaxed before being laid flat and cut.

This translates to only a 4-6% shrinkage - a huge difference when you consider the tens of thousands of inches or centimetres at stake.

[Glass Factory @glassfactory__]

Laying out fabric like this makes the shrinking process far more efficient.

Typically, most factories would simply unroll the fabric and send it for shrinking. With natural fibres like cotton, that usually translates to 8% shrinkage.
