TR Ponte Knit Fabric from Shaoxing Keqiao Maozan Textile
Shaoxing Keqiao Maozan Textile Co., Ltd. is a knitted fabric manufacturer in Keqiao, Shaoxing, China, working across production, processing and raw material supply for apparel, home textiles and garment accessories. As a TR Ponte Knit Fabric Supplier, we build polyester-viscose Roma-stitch cloth for programmes that need body, a clean face and a hand that repeats from one delivery to the next.
- Core production: TR Ponte Roma knitted in a dense Roma stitch for trousers, skirts and tailoring.
- Companion quality: NR Ponte Roma Fabric where a softer, more fluid hand is preferred.
- Supporting knits: double-knit interlock, rib for trims, single jersey and air-layer qualities that complete a garment range.
How TR Ponte Roma Behaves
TR Ponte is knitted in a Roma structure on double-knit machinery: a face and a back joined by a middle yarn, which produces a dense, stable cloth with a smooth surface and a neat reverse. Polyester carries wrinkle resistance and shape retention, while viscose softens the hand and lets the fabric fall along a natural line instead of hanging stiff and flat.
The construction sits in the moderate-weight band with enough support for tailored silhouettes, yet stays comfortable through a full working day. It holds a sharp line at the knee and seat, so finished trousers do not read as light jersey, and the smooth face takes a clean seam and press.
Typical end use: suit trousers, commuter pants, straight-leg and wide-leg trousers, skirts, structured dresses and tailored tops, uniforms and business-casual ranges.

Critical Specifications We Fix Before Knitting
Every TR Ponte programme is locked to a written specification before yarn is issued, because weight, stitch density and finishing interact on a Roma structure more than on a simple jersey.
- Composition ratio between polyester and viscose, and any elastane addition
- Weight in GSM and usable width, measured after relaxation
- Stitch density and Roma variant, from a finer tailored face to a heavier body
- Stretch direction and elastic recovery, including growth after wear
- Dimensional stability after the agreed wash and drying route
- Colour under the agreed light source, against an approved lab dip
- Surface appearance: cleanliness, barre, needle lines and marks
- Hand feel reference, roll length, packing and labelling format
Colour, Hand and Finishing
We dye to the customer's colour standard and submit lab dips for approval before bulk, so the difference between the reference and the production lot is settled early rather than at shipment. Finishing is set to the hand the garment needs: a firmer, crisper face for tailored trousers, or a softer touch for skirts and dresses.
OEKO-TEX certified options are available within the knitted fabric range for programmes that carry a restricted-substance requirement. Roll format, shade continuity and lot identification are agreed per order.
Quality Control and Acceptance
We run full-process quality management: inspection after each production stage, then final inspection of the finished fabric against customer requirements and international standards. Our laboratory holds the testing equipment needed to verify the properties agreed for the order.
- Incoming yarn and greige checks before knitting
- In-line inspection of stitch density, width and surface appearance
- Dyeing and finishing checks against the approved lab dip and hand standard
- Final roll-by-roll inspection with defect classification
- Pre-shipment sample retained for the customer's acceptance reference
Sampling, Customization and OEM/ODM Support
Development usually starts from a sample garment, a counter sample, a buyer's swatch or a written specification sheet. We work in ODM and OEM mode, adjusting composition, weight, width, stitch density, colour and hand to match the finished piece, and we do not move to bulk until the counter sample is approved.
Small-batch sampling and repeat orders are part of our normal production planning, which keeps a seasonal programme moving when a colour or size is added later. Trial yardage, approval swatches and bulk are produced on the same specification so the hand does not shift between development and delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is TR Ponte Roma fabric made from?
TR Ponte Roma is knitted from a polyester and viscose blend in a Roma stitch. Polyester provides wrinkle resistance and shape retention, viscose gives the softer hand and natural drape, and the middle yarn of the Roma structure holds the two faces together for a dense, stable cloth. We confirm the exact ratio for each programme.
Can TR Ponte be used for trousers?
Yes. It is one of the most suitable knitted qualities for suit trousers, commuter pants, straight-leg and wide-leg trousers, because the dense structure keeps a sharp line and the fabric stays comfortable rather than tight. It also works for skirts, structured dresses, jumpsuits and tailored tops.
What is the difference between TR and NR Ponte Roma?
TR Ponte pairs polyester with viscose for a crisp face, stronger shape retention and wrinkle resistance. NR Ponte pairs nylon with rayon for a softer hand, deeper depth of shade and a more fluid drape, which suits dresses and softer trouser shapes.
Can weight, width, colour and hand be customized?
We work in ODM and OEM mode, so weight, usable width, composition, stitch density, colour and finishing hand can be adjusted to the garment. Lab dips are submitted against your colour standard, and small-batch sampling plus repeat orders are supported.
How is quality controlled before shipment?
Inspection runs after each production stage, followed by final inspection of the finished fabric against your requirements and international standards, using our in-house laboratory equipment. A pre-shipment sample is retained as the acceptance reference for the order.
