Warp knitting plants in Changshu did not see much change of business but players' mindset improved. Inquiries for water-jet fabrics for home textiles slightly rose from overseas customers in Changxing. Circular knitting plants in Xiaoshan and Shaoxing witnessed weaker business and orders fell, especially those from Europe. Some orders for warp knitting fabrics were placed in Haining. Most fabric traders did not have orders but prepared some for autumn and winter for speculation, expecting feedstock price to increase
