South India yarn steady as rising fibre costs pressure spinners
In Mumbai, cotton yarn prices hovered at previous levels as demand showed no signs of improvement. Finer counts of cotton yarn were under greater pressure. A trader from the Mumbai market told Fibre*Fashion, “Spinning mills are feeling more pressure in selling finer counts. The domestic consumer industry has yet to ramp up buying of finer-count cotton yarn for requirements of the upcoming summer season. There was better buying of coarse-count cotton yarn.”
