Fersan Tekstil is a vertically integrated polyester knitted fabric manufacturer in Çorlu, Türkiye, running a separate warp-knitting park of 9 Raschel machines alongside its circular-knit line — ~750 tonnes a month in total since 1982.

Let us start with an honest distinction: Raschel is not a variant of weft (circular) knitting but a separate technology. In warp knitting the yarns loop vertically along the fabric length, and the result is a structure that does not ladder, does not unravel when cut and does not curl at the edge. That stability is what makes open-pore fabrics — tulle, mesh, eyelet, jacquard and elastane power net — safe to manufacture. Our Raschel park runs this work at roughly 6 tonnes a day.
We produce for a buyer range stretching from curtain and tulle confectioners to sports and shapewear makers, across Western Europe, Russia and the CIS, and routinely produce to the test standards of European sports and apparel brands. The ordering terms below are the same figures we quote.
Structures we knit on our Raschel machines
01
Athletic Mesh (Raschel)
Athletic mesh (warp knit)
110–170 g/m²
In this application
Warp-knit athletic mesh: pairs high airflow with a ladder-free, curl-free structure.
Composition
100% polyester (PES); elastane-free mechanical give. A ~88–92% PES / 8–12% elastane variant can be knitted for light recovery when needed.
Weight windows come from catalogue data; final specs are confirmed on a sample.

Your fabric development partner
In warp knitting, development starts with the machine set-up: the pore layout, the jacquard pattern and the elastane share that sets a power net’s support level are built around your project; colours are approved via lab-dip, and dimensional stability and stretch-recovery are test-reported per order. Quotation requests are answered within 2 business days.

Frequently asked questions
What is your minimum order (MOQ) for Raschel fabric?
We work with 500–1,000 kg per colour; for jacquard patterns the exact figure is confirmed per design with your quotation, since a machine set-up is required.
What are your lead time and delivery terms?
For standard structures, typical lead time is 3–4 weeks from order confirmation to dispatch; for a new jacquard design the set-up is stated with the lead time in the quotation. We ship EXW, FOB or DAP; quotation requests are answered within 2 business days.
What is the difference between warp and circular (weft) knitting?
In weft knitting a single yarn travels across the width forming loops; in warp knitting hundreds of warp yarns are fed from a beam and each knits its own loop vertically. That is why warp knits do not ladder, do not unravel at cut edges and stay more dimensionally stable — the right technology for open structures like mesh and tulle.
Can we run our own jacquard design?
Yes — the jacquard mechanism knits the pattern straight into the ground; it is not a print. Your motif is set up on the machine and approved on a sample. Because a pattern set-up is involved, jacquard work is planned with a minimum production run.
Do Raschel mesh and tulle unravel in cutting or use?
No — since warp-knit loops interlock vertically, the structure does not ladder, holes do not grow and edges do not curl. In garment making that means easier cut-and-sew than weft-knit mesh, and pores that keep their shape in use.
