Texfab Knit Wear

If you come down to Karuvampalayam, you will find us at No. 17a/16 Erukadu 4th Street. Texfab Knit Wear has been operating out of this spot near Mangalam Road for a while. The street is a bit narrow, so when the delivery vans come, it gets a little cramped out front. Inside, it is mostly the sound of the knitting machines clicking away. We have stacks of different colored yarns in the corners and the smell of industrial oil in the air. It isn't a glamorous job, but it’s what we know how to do. Some of the neighbors stop by to chat in the mornings before things get too hectic. We try to keep things organized, but when we have a large batch to finish, there are bags of garments everywhere you look. Most of us have been working in this trade since we were young. We don’t bother with big meetings or corporate talk. We just check the specs, set the machines, and make sure the knit is right. By the end of the day, our hands are usually tired and the floor is covered in fluff. It’s just honest work on 4th street. We keep the doors open when it’s breezy to get some fresh air inside. It’s a tight-knit group here, literally and figuratively, just trying to get the day's work finished before the sun goes down over Mangalam Road.
