Mutton Cloth & Industrial Polishing Stockinette

Soft cotton mutton cloth rolls for polishing, cleaning and wiping: 400 g, 500 g, 1 kg or bulk by the kilogram. Knitted at our own Faisalabad factory and shipped worldwide at factory-direct prices.

Short answer

Industrial polishing stockinette is the soft, open cotton tube that most workshops know as mutton cloth. It is used for fine polishing, paint prep, parts cleaning and general wiping. It comes off the same circular knitting machines Tahir Collection uses for medical stockinette, run in an industrial cotton grade instead. We have made it at our own Faisalabad factory since 2000 and ship it worldwide, direct from the people who knit it.

Production house, not a reseller

We own the circular-knitting machinery and warehousing shown across this site. Every roll is knitted in-house, not bought in and re-sold.

Factory-direct pricing

Full process control means no middleman margin, so our roll pricing is lower than trader and reseller pricing for the same specification.

Manufacturing since 2000

25+ years of tubular knitting. One specialised product, consistent roll to roll.

Mutton Cloth & Industrial Stockinette — Buyer FAQ

Yes. They are the same seamless circular-knit cotton tubular fabric. "Stockinette" is the general name; "mutton cloth" is the term used in the industrial polishing and cleaning trade. Tahir Collection knits both medical and industrial grades from the same machinery.
Tahir Collection is a production house, not a trading company. We own the knitting machinery and warehousing and manufacture the stockinette ourselves in Faisalabad, Pakistan.
