Yorkshire Fur Fabrics' main strength is its manufacturing capability. The entire process is performed in our plant in Huddersfield, from the blending of the fibre to the packaging of the finished items, which means that there is total control over the quality of the end product.
We are able to manufacture to the customer's individual specifications which means that we are able to make fabrics for industrial applications as well as the more traditional fashion and soft furnishing sectors.
We have a total of three blending lines, each comprising two opening machines and a selection of blending bins. This allows us to blend different fibres with different staple lengths and different shades to create a uniform consistency from sometimes very different component fibres.
We have 17 carding machines capable of carding fibres from 22 to 100mm staple lengths and micro-denier up to 20 denier. We can card wool, polyester, acrylic, modacrylic and any other man-made fibres giving the customer a wide range of choices when specifying a product.
Our knitting department consists of 19 knitting units, 5 plain and 14 jacquard. This gives us a combined knitting capacity of 12,000 metres per day. This allows us to produce fabrics with a wide range of densities from 300g to 2kg per linear metre. The jacquard machines are the very latest technology and can knit a full range of fashion and industrial fabrics with up to 8 colours per design.
The finishing department consists of a shearing machine, stenter, a 5 unit polishing line, slitting facility for paint roller fabrics and 6 tumblers for sherpa and berber fabrics. These machines can be combined in different ways to produce a multitude of effects from highly polished to very clean matt finishes.
