Choosing where to start
Which service should I start with?
Start with material development when the yarn, hand feel or function is still open. Start with knitwear sampling and production when you have a design, reference sample or tech pack to make. For a first run or a capsule collection, see how low-MOQ knitwear production works; for washing, milling or embroidery, browse the 22 finishing and embellishment techniques.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Generally 100–300 pieces per colour per style, depending on order quantity, garment complexity and whether stock yarn is available. Sizes can be split within each colour as you need, though more sizes can raise the unit price. See how small orders work.
How long does sampling take, and what does it cost?
With stock yarn, about 1–1.5 weeks from your brief to sample dispatch; yarn development takes longer. Sample development costs USD 100 per style, and the fee is waived if the style proceeds to bulk.
How long does bulk production take?
45–60 days after pre-production sample approval, depending on style, order quantity, size specification and yarn choice. Knitting runs on 120+ in-house computerized flat-knitting machines covering 1.5G–18G; see garment knitting.
Can I commission only one stage?
Yes. Development and sampling do not require a bulk commitment, and material development, knitting and finishing are available as separate services. For most orders, knitting and finishing take place in our own factory; some linking work is outsourced.
Which certificates and audit records does the factory hold?
Our main production factory, WUXI WELLERY TEXTILE TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD, holds OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100, Responsible Wool Standard, Global Recycled Standard and Organic Content Standard certificates, as well as an amfori BSCI social-compliance audit report. Other certifications can be applied for when a brand needs them. See sustainability and certificate scope.
What should I include in an inquiry?
Styles, colours, quantities and size split, target price, delivery window, and any yarn, finishing or certificate requirements. A design idea or reference sample is enough to start: send a development brief.
