Materials and sourcing
Specifying yarn where fabric is knitted for a project rather than bought from stock.
When fabric is knitted specifically for a programme, the yarn decision comes first. Yarn count, spinning method and fibre quality determine surface appearance, pilling behaviour, print result and how the garment ages.
Yarn led development gives a brand real control over the finished product, and it raises the minimum quantity considerably. It suits repeat programmes rather than a first validation run.
Scope confirmed on technical review
Process
Each stage exists to resolve one question. Skipping a stage moves risk further down the line rather than removing it.
Count, spinning method, fibre and any blend ratio are defined.
Availability and minimum quantity are confirmed with the spinner.
A trial length is knitted and assessed before bulk commitment.
Yarn is released for bulk against the approved trial.
Suitability
Where this capability is the right choice, and the materials it is compatible with.
Limits
Stated plainly, because a capability described without its constraints will be misapplied to a product it does not suit.
Materials
Composition, weight guidance and decoration behaviour for each fabric are on its own page.
Questions
Minimum order quantity depends on material availability, colour count, construction, decoration and packaging. Projects can begin from approximately 50 pieces per style following technical review. Where a fabric has to be knitted or dyed specifically for a project, the practical minimum is set by the mill rather than by us, and we tell you that before you commit.
Yes. Tell us the end use, the target market, the handfeel you are aiming for, any performance requirement and your target price position. We propose fabric options with composition and weight ranges, and confirm the specific quality against a physical swatch before sampling.
Tell us the product, the fabric and the quantity. We will confirm whether this is the right process and what it means for your minimum quantity and schedule.
