Fabrication
The fabric you choose defines your product — its look, feel, and performance. But with so many options available, it’s important to understand how each choice affects your timeline, costs, and results.
At Studio Loom, we help you make confident, informed decisions about materials — from selecting between stock and non-stock fabrics to managing dye processes, shrinkage, and performan`ce testing.
Stock vs. Non-Stock
Stock fabrics are ready to go, perfect for shorter lead times or smaller runs. Non-stock fabrics are made or dyed to order, offering more control over colour, weight, and composition — but they come with longer lead times and higher minimums.
Colour & Dyeing
We support you through colour development, from lab dips to bulk dyeing, ensuring consistency across every batch and advising on the best dyeing process for your product.
Shrinkage & Fabric Performance
Fabric behaviour can change after washing or finishing. We assess shrinkage and stability early, so your garments fit and perform exactly as intended.
Fabric Weight & Handfeel
We help you select the right weight, drape, and texture for your design and market, balancing creativity with practicality.
Our fabrication services include:
Guidance on stock vs. non-stock fabric sourcing

Choosing the right fabric isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about creating a product that’s beautiful, functional, and ready for production.
