Turkey and India, the largest suppliers of the country, saw volumes decline as Italian importers took more yarns from China and Syria. Imports of cotton yarns into Italy during the first quarter of 2006 have only slid 4.5 percent showing its knitwear industry has not been affected as greatly as that in other European countries.
