How does the 4-point fabric inspection system work?

Update Time:2026/7/8

The 4-Point System is the global standard for grading greige and finished fabric before cutting. Each defect is scored by severity:

  • 1 point – minor (e.g., a tiny slub);
  • 2 points – noticeable;
  • 3 points – significant;
  • 4 points – severe (holes, missing yarns), with a single defect capped at 4 points regardless of length.

Points accumulate per roll, and any roll exceeding 40 points per 100 m² (or per 100 yd²) is rejected. This prevents weak, uneven knit from becoming pilling-prone leggings or see-through tops.
