UK-base Corah Textiles has started commission knitting. The company currently employs seven people (four full-time and three part-time) and is looking to expand its operations. Corah also has a part time knitter and a Shima Seiki flat knitting machine programmer on a freelance basis. The company finishes or part-finishes garments and accessories and makes small production runs of accessories, lambswool and cashmere garments.
Corah offers all kinds of services, including hand-sewing operations such as pulling and tying-in of ends, stitching V-necks and crew necks. Machine operations include over locking, cup seaming, lock-stitching, buttonhole/button-sew, sewing back neck labels and care labels, inspection to bagging, and point to point body and collar linking. Corah offers linking in gauges of 4,5,6,8,10,12,14,16 and 20. From body linking to collar linking it’s comfortable in linking all products from various style shoulders and garments, pockets and trims and linking accessories. The link is for the middle market right up to high-end French fashion house products. Corah Textiles also has a few Shima Seiki flat knitting machines in 8 and 12 gauge along with warp scarf knitting machines and a pom-pom machine, where it makes small orders. It is in the process of installing washing/drying and pressing facilities, which hopefully will be done in the next few months.
