Short Definition

Composition means the fiber content of a fabric.

Definition

In textile production and sourcing, Composition is an important concept because it helps buyers and factories describe fabric more accurately. It may relate to fiber material, yarn, weaving structure, finishing, specification, or production communication.

Why It Matters

Composition matters because small differences in textile specifications can change fabric appearance, handfeel, drape, cost, durability, and production stability. Understanding it helps buyers compare samples more accurately and reduce misunderstandings before bulk production.

How It Is Used

This term may appear in fabric inquiry, quotation, material selection, jacquard or plain fabric development, sample confirmation, bulk production specification, quality inspection, and repeat-order communication.

Example

When developing a sofa fabric collection, the buyer may need to confirm composition together with composition, GSM, width, handfeel, color, pattern, and whether the fabric is plain, textured, or jacquard.
