<title>currency adjustment</title>
<link>http://www.textiles4print.co.uk/news/2010/march/currency-adjustment.html</link>
<description>The sudden weakness of stering versus the dollar has had a sudden serious impact.
Our cloth suppliers from the East will no longer accept payments in sterling.
We buy tea towel fabric from two sources who now suggest converting _s into $dollars and this means an extra commission to pay.
Prices may well have to rise accordingly.

<title>textile industry wage rise</title>
<link>http://www.textiles4print.co.uk/news/2010/february/textile-industry-wage-rise.html</link>
<description>Generally speaking textile industry toook a voluntary wage freeze last year but that is unlikely to be the case again.
More complex products such as baby bedding, aprons and oven gloves will be particularly prone to price rises due to the time taken to sew an dpack such items.</description>

<title>plan well ahead</title>
<link>http://www.textiles4print.co.uk/news/2009/february/plan-well-ahead.html</link>
<description>Its time to order your tea towels, shoppers and aprons before _ sterling goes down further against
 virtually every other currency.
The weakness of sterling has brought the new problem of higher fabric costs.
A high proportion of the cost of tea towels, canvas shoppers, aprons and yellow polishers is in
the fabric which is mostly imported from countries whose currency has been rising steeply against
sterling.
But not all the cost for example labour &amp; overheads and that is good news for our customers because we use our own
 English sewing machinists and their wages are paid in _pounds not euros, dollars, yuan and rupees, 
all of which have gone up against the _pound. 
If you want to sleep at night and not worry if your costs are going to increase again decide what you might need over the
 next 6 months and put a contract down at a FIXED PRICE, then you know what your raw material costs are going to be.
