Key facts

  • In woven fabric, lengthwise warp yarns and crosswise weft yarns interlace at right angles.
  • Poplin is a plain weave (Collins), gabardine and denim are twills, and satin uses satin weave (CottonWorks); in denim the warp is also dyed with indigo.
  • According to Cotton Incorporated, shrinkage-control finishing (compaction) reduces lengthwise shrinkage; in return, yardage falls and the fabric gets heavier and thicker.
  • Compare quotes on composition, width, weight and post-finishing state, ideally on weight per linear meter (GSM × open width).
  • Of the 1,237 firms with a TOBB capacity report for woven fabric (product code 13.20), 580 are in Bursa and 225 in Denizli (October 2026).

Guide to Woven Fabrics

Woven fabric is made by interlacing lengthwise warp yarns and crosswise weft yarns at right angles. This page brings together companies in Turkey that weave, dye and finish woven fabric, and merchants that sell it. For fabrics formed by interlooping yarn, see knitted fabrics; for garments sewn from woven fabric, see woven apparel.

Sub-categories

There is no separate sub-category for muslin and canvas; suppliers of these fabrics are also listed on this page. State the fabric name, composition and weight together in the quote. For technical uses such as tent and tarpaulin fabric, see technical fabrics.

In a woven fabric quote, ask about weave, width, weight and finishing

  • Weaver, dye house or merchant? A firm that weaves on its own looms, a dye house that finishes greige fabric and a fabric merchant (kumaşçı) selling ready fabric do different jobs, and lead time, flexibility and price depend on which one you deal with. For small yardages, stock and lot fabric companies are also an option.
  • Fabric description: Have the weave, composition, yarn count, warp and weft density, weight, open width and finish written on a single line.
  • Mechanical finishing: According to Cotton Incorporated, shrinkage-control finishing (compaction) reduces lengthwise shrinkage; in return, yardage falls and the fabric gets heavier and thicker. Ask for yardage and weight after finishing.
  • Testing: Weight can be tested to EN 12127, washing and dimensional change to EN ISO 6330 and EN ISO 5077, and strip tensile strength to EN ISO 13934-1; write the limit values into the contract.
  • MOQ and lead time: These vary by firm and fabric type. Get a written quote using the questions on each sub-category page; if the fabric is to be dyed, also ask where you stand in the dye house's queue.

In woven fabric, fiber, density and weave complexity drive the price

In woven fabric the price is set by fiber, yarn fineness, weaving density and weave complexity, with dyeing or printing, finishing and order quantity added on top. Cotton Incorporated notes that fabric woven on a jacquard loom costs more because of the loom's complexity and low speed. For the choice between knit and woven, see knit vs woven fabric; for the general framework of fabric names, see the fabric types guide.

Where in Turkey?

Of the 1,237 firms with a valid TOBB capacity report for woven fabrics (product code 13.20), 580 are in Bursa, 225 in Denizli and 129 in Istanbul (October 2026; TOBB). TOBB is the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey, and a capacity report documents a manufacturer's annual production capacity. The count therefore covers only manufacturers with a capacity report; fabric traders and workshops without one are not included.

An older public report gives the historical picture. The specialized commission report that DPT (the State Planning Organization) published for Turkey's Ninth Development Plan names Adana, for cotton weaving and finishing, and Bursa, which has a silk-making past, for synthetic filament yarn and fabric, among the historic, spontaneously developed clusters (DPT, Ankara 2007, pp. 173–174, in Turkish). Bursa's lead matches the current record, in which Adana has 40 firms. Use the province filter for current addresses and ask which facility makes your fabric.

Frequently asked questions

Do woven fabric names describe the weave or the fiber?

It depends on the name. Poplin is woven in plain weave (Collins), gabardine and denim in twill, and satin in satin weave (CottonWorks); in denim the warp is also dyed with indigo. Linen, however, is the name of a fiber and velvet the name of a pile structure. Because the names are not mutually exclusive, ask the quote to state the weave, the fiber and the weight separately.

Is the unit price enough when comparing woven fabric quotes?

No. The same price per meter may be quoted for fabrics with different width, weight, density and finish, and finishing also changes yardage and weight. Compare quotes together with composition, width, weight and the post-finishing state, if possible on weight per linear meter (GSM × open width).

Which weave causes fewer problems in sewing?

According to CottonWorks, plain weave is very stable and has few problems with skewing, seam slippage, picking and snagging. Satin weave, with its long floats, can show these problems. For a satin fabric, tell the sewing workshop in advance and try the fabric on your own style.
