Custom Women’s Knitwear and Sweaters for Brands

Develop Knitwear from Yarn and Swatch to Garment

Knitwear development starts with the relationship between yarn, stitch structure and garment shape. Tuer Garment holds an equity stake in a specialist knitwear factory in Dongguan. We work with the factory team to review those choices against your brand’s designs, quantities and target budget.

Yarn, Colour and Hand Feel

Specify the required fibre composition, colour references, weight and hand feel. Send a yarn or garment reference where available. We review sourcing options and yarn minimums for the project. Any certified or traceable material claim needs supporting documents for the selected material and supply chain.

Stitch Structure and Knit Samples

Provide the desired texture, pattern, stitch reference and gauge where known. The suitable yarn, gauge and structure are reviewed with the factory team. Agree a swatch or development sample for appearance, density and hand feel before finalising the garment specification.

Shape, Assembly and Finishing

Confirm body and sleeve length, chest width, shoulder shape, ease, neckline, cuffs, hem and any button or zip details. Review the sample’s seams or linking, edge finish and garment balance. Washing, drying, pressing or other finishing requirements are agreed for the selected yarn and construction.

Measurements and Quality Requirements

Agree how finished measurements are taken and the tolerances to be used. Review dimensions, appearance, seams, trims and packing against the approved specification. If your market or collection needs pilling, dimensional-change, colourfastness or other tests, specify the method and required result so feasibility, timing and cost can be confirmed.

Certified Material Options and Supplier Audit Documents

The knitwear factory in which Tuer Garment holds an equity stake holds GRS, RWS and GOTS scope certificates for covered products and activities. Relevant recycled, responsible wool and organic material options can be reviewed for your collection. Before confirming a certified order or product claim, we check the current certificate scope, selected composition, supply-chain requirements and applicable transaction documentation.

The factory can also provide SMETA 4-pillar and amfori BSCI social audit documentation for buyer review, subject to the supplier’s disclosure arrangements. These reports relate to the factory’s audited site and are separate from product certification and garment quality testing. Please include your brand’s sourcing and compliance requirements in the project brief.

MOQ, Sizes and Production Lead Times

• One colour per style: minimum 200 pieces.
• Two or more colours per style: minimum 150 pieces per colour. Two colours require at least 300 pieces in total.
• Sizes: up to four sizes when the MOQ is met, with the quantity per size chosen by your brand. Additional sizes are agreed separately.
• Samples: 10–15 working days after all sample details are confirmed.
• First bulk order: 30–45 working days after order details and styles are confirmed, the deposit is received and fabric is ready.
• Repeat orders: usually 15–30 working days, depending on quantity; the schedule is confirmed for each order.

Different styles cannot be combined to meet one minimum. Custom materials, trims or treatments may have additional minimums. Sampling and shipping time are separate from bulk production.

How Your Knitwear Project Moves Forward

1. Share the brief. Send designs, measurements, yarn and stitch references, colours, quantities and delivery requirements.
2. Review development samples. Agree yarn and structure, then review the garment for fit, hand feel and finish.
3. Approve the specification. Confirm measurements, size breakdown, colours, trims, labels, packing and any tests.
4. Coordinate production. Bulk production and checks follow the approved project requirements.

Knitwear and Sweater Manufacturing FAQs

Where is knitwear production arranged?

Tuer Garment is based in Guangzhou. Knitwear production takes place at a specialist factory in Dongguan, China, in which Tuer Garment is one of the shareholders. Materials, samples and production requirements are reviewed for each project.

Can I choose the yarn and stitch pattern?

Yes. Send the desired composition, colour, texture and stitch references. Available yarns, suitable gauge and construction, and any extra minimums are confirmed with the factory team before approval.

Can I develop lighter or heavier knitwear?

Share the intended season, weight, drape and fit. These requirements guide yarn and structure selection. Samples are used to confirm the result rather than assuming the same yarn or gauge suits every style.

How are care and performance requirements agreed?

Performance depends on the selected yarn, construction, finishing and care method. Specify your intended care instructions and any pilling, dimensional-change or colourfastness requirements. Test methods and acceptance criteria are agreed and verified for the project.

What information is needed for a quotation?

Send your brand website, designs, measurements, yarn and stitch references, colour quantities, size breakdown, labels, packing, target delivery date and destination. Include any testing requirements and target budget.
