Import Tips
• Document yarn number and ends/picks per cm to meet poplin definition and avoid cheesecloth misclassification
• Ensure no napping if claiming poplin; napped versions may require additional notes
• Label clearly as yarn-dyed multi-color to prevent confusion with piece-dyed single-color fabrics
