Fabric is tested before cutting, the line is checked from the first bundles, and a final AQL inspection happens before packing is sealed. You get the report with photos before you approve shipment.
Sweaters and knitwear: common questions.
What does gauge mean in sweater knitting?
Gauge describes how many needles a knitting machine has per inch, and it decides how fine or chunky the knit looks. Low gauges, such as 3 to 5, produce thick, textured knits with visible stitches, ideal for cable and fisherman sweaters and cold-weather styles. Mid gauges around 7 to 10 give a versatile, medium-weight knit used for many everyday sweaters and cardigans. Fine gauges of 12 to 14 create smooth, lightweight knitwear that sits close to the body, often used for merino basics, knitted polos and layering pieces. Gauge works together with yarn thickness, because a fine gauge needs a finer yarn. It also affects cost and speed: chunky knits use more yarn, while fine knits take longer to knit. Share a reference sweater or photos, and we will recommend the gauge and yarn that match the look.
Can you produce jacquard, intarsia and cable knit designs?
Yes. Computerised flat-knitting machines create a wide range of patterns directly in the knit. Jacquard knits two or more colours into a repeating pattern across the garment, often used for Fair Isle and graphic designs, with the unused yarn on the reverse either secured or knitted in. Intarsia places blocks of colour, such as a logo or motif, in specific areas without loose yarn behind them, which gives a cleaner result but takes longer to knit. Cable knits twist groups of stitches to create raised rope patterns and suit lower gauges. Pointelle, rib variations and knitted-in logos are also possible. Each technique affects yarn use, knitting time and price, so we recommend discussing your artwork early. We program the pattern and knit a swatch or sample for approval before bulk production starts.
