History
Textile industry in Hong Kong started before the war, but with weaving preceded spinning in its development. During the 1930s, knitting and weaving industries in Hong Kong were already quite developed. However, there was no spinning factory at that time. Cotton yarns were imported for the local knitting and weaving factories. These cotton yarns were used to produce greige fabrics, which then became cotton socks, vests, homespun cloth, t-shirts and towels, etc. Products were made for the local market, as well as exported to mainland China, Southeast Asia, Europe and South America, etc.
