What greige polyester fabric is
Greige fabric—also called grey fabric, gray fabric, loom-state fabric, raw fabric, or PFD (Prepared for Dyeing)—is unfinished polyester straight off the loom, before dyeing, printing, or coating. It is the base layer for most home textile programs. Buyers source greige when they want to control finishing in-house, or when they need a specific width and weave as the starting point for a custom treatment route. Weaverine weaves greige in-house on 600+ waterjet looms at its Anhui facility, with stock specs available at no MOQ.
- 100% polyester, woven on 600+ waterjet looms at 200,000+ meters per day
- Greige widths from 160cm to 330cm; plain weave and twill weave at 55 - 120 g/m²
- No MOQ on in-stock specifications; 5,000m minimum for custom greige specs
When buyers source greige versus finished fabric
Source greige when
Greige is usually the right purchase when you control part of the finishing chain, or when you need a defined base spec before committing to dye, print, or treatment MOQs.
- —You dye, print, or finish at your own facility or with a nominated partner
- —You need a specific loom width or weave as the foundation for a custom program
- —Stock greige specs fit your pipeline and you want flexibility without per-color MOQs
Buy finished fabric when
Finished fabric is simpler when the mill should own the full route from greige through dyeing, printing, embossing, or functional finishing.
- —You want mill-direct solid color, print, or treatment without managing greige logistics
- —Your program is defined around a finished hand feel, such as peachskin or embossed texture
- —Downstream capacity is limited and a single supplier should deliver ready-to-cut goods
Why greige supply capacity matters
Greige is only as reliable as the weaving behind it. A supplier quoting greige without loom depth is effectively brokering capacity. At Weaverine, greige is woven in-house on a 600+ waterjet loom fleet at the Anhui mill, with daily output above 200,000 meters and widths from 160cm to 330cm—so stock programs and custom greige runs draw from the same production base.

Width range that covers bedding and curtains
Greige widths from 160cm to 330cm support standard bedding cuts and wide railroaded curtain constructions. Plan greige width from your finished cutting width plus finishing shrinkage.
- 2
Plain and twill for different end uses
Plain weave is the default for many bedding and curtain bases. Twill weave adds diagonal structure and a slightly different hand feel—useful when durability or drape behavior matters in the finished product.

Stock flexibility versus custom specs
In-stock greige specifications ship with no minimum order. Custom widths, weights, or weave constructions require a 5,000-meter minimum per specification—typical for programs engineered from the loom up.
Specifications and MOQ boundaries
These are the baseline ranges buyers ask about most often for greige programs. Finished widths and weights will differ after dyeing and finishing; greige specs should be planned with that shrinkage in mind.

Stock availability varies by width, weave, and weight. Contact Weaverine for current inventory, or specify your target greige spec for a custom loom setup and lead-time estimate—mill-direct from our Anhui and Zhejiang mills.
How buyers usually evaluate greige supply
- 01
- Confirm true mill weaving, not brokerage
- Ask whether greige is woven on-site or sourced from third parties. In-house loom fleets give more predictable width, GSM consistency, and lead times on custom specs.
- 02
- Match greige width to your finishing plan
- If you will dye or finish elsewhere, confirm your partner can handle the greige width. Finished fabric typically narrows slightly from greige—work backward from your cutting marker.
- 03
- Clarify stock versus custom MOQ
- No minimum applies to in-stock greige specs only. Custom constructions—non-standard width, weight, or weave—typically require 5,000 meters per specification.
- 04
- Review greige quality before finishing
- Defects and tension variation in greige become visible after dyeing. Request greige samples and, where possible, review bulk greige before it enters your finishing line.
When Weaverine can be a fit
You need reliable greige at volume
600+ waterjet looms and 200,000+ meters of daily output at Weaverine mean greige is a core production lane, not an occasional sideline.
You want width flexibility from 160cm to 330cm
Greige widths across the full range support bedding, curtain, and upholstery programs that depend on panel size and seam placement.
You need stock greige without MOQ
In-stock greige specifications ship with no minimum order—useful for sampling, small runs, or buyers who finish in-house at Weaverine's mill-direct greige lane.
You want greige and finishing from one mill
We can take greige through dyeing, printing, embossing, and functional treatments in one chain if you prefer mill-direct finished goods instead of loom-state only.
