The unique aspect of this paper is that the accuracy is achieved by integrating seasonality, ARIMA and KNN models (i.e. values predicted using Seasonality and ARIMA are future used to predict yarn price using KNN Algorithm). Using the integrated model stated above, finally we are able to achieve the accuracy of 97% in yarn price prediction. Also the results are tabled in [TABLE XII.] and [TABLE XIV.] for the period of 3 months from Oct 2015 to Dec 2015. By knowing the future trends of the yarn price, the industry will decide to stock or sell the products to gain profits.
