Yarn Development & Supply Chain Integration
Powering the Backbone of Apparel Manufacturing
At Rafrin, yarn isn't just the beginning — it's the backbone of every great garment. Whether it’s for a technical performance piece, sustainable fashion line, or mass production, we help you select, develop, and source the perfect yarns based on your design, functionality, and budget.
Our core belief:
The right yarn makes the right fabric — and the right product.
Bangladesh: Our Core Strength

Bangladesh: Our Core Strength *
As part of our "Proudly Made in Bangladesh" foundation, we work with some of the country’s most advanced, certified spinning mills.
Bangladesh is now one of the top global players in cotton yarn, with an expanding industry that exports to over 40 countries.
500+ spinning mills, producing both local and export-quality yarns.
8 million+ spindles, with new capacity being added every year.
Over $1.2 billion yarn exported in a year
Exporting to major apparel-producing countries like Turkey, China, Vietnam, Egypt, Pakistan, and more.
100% local yarn support for knitwear (like T-shirts, polos, fleece).
Increasing capacity for open-end yarn, ring-spun, slub, core-spun, CVC, PC, and combed compact yarn.
Global Yarn Sourcing, Client-Centric Approach
While Bangladesh is our core, we also understand specific yarns are region-specialized. That’s why Rafrin can also source:
Turkey – specialty dyed yarn, organic cotton blends
India – viscose, modal, and value-priced cottons
China – polyester filament, nylon, recycled synthetics
Uzbek long-staple cotton yarn (upon request)
Whether your fabric requires high-twist cotton for premium shirting, or recycled polyester for activewear, we ensure access to the right spinning partner — wherever they are.
