Licheng Knitwear supports Canadian buyers with yarn and gauge suggestions, winter-oriented product directions, private label packing discussion and practical sample-to-bulk communication.
Canadian buyers often compare warmth, hand feel, yarn composition, size consistency, private label presentation and carton packing. Clear sample comments and bulk delivery planning are important before winter launch windows.
Confirm target launch month, yarn composition, gauge, color range, packaging and carton requirements before quotation. Heavier yarns and winter delivery windows should be planned earlier than lightweight knitwear.
Wool blend crew neck sweaters, ribbed cardigans, heavy gauge pullovers, knit jackets and private label winter layers.
Warm wool blends, cotton wool blends, acrylic wool blends and 3GG, 5GG or 7GG structures for cold-weather positioning.
Product directions matched to Canada buyer needs.






We focus on men's sweaters, cardigans, knit jackets, jacquard knitwear and private label knitwear. We support B2B buyers with OEM/ODM development, sampling and bulk production planning.
Ready sample styles and selected custom programs can support lower-risk trials before larger seasonal orders.
Yes. Brands, including new labels preparing a first collection, can pay for a sample and see it before placing a production order. Two routes: a ready sample of a published style at USD 60 per piece in about 7 days, or a development sample from your tech pack at USD 150 per style, covering yarn sourcing, knit programming, one prototype and one revision round, in 15-25 days. Cashmere and mohair styles are quoted individually and shipping is charged at cost. Production starts only after you approve the physical sample, at our minimum of 30 pieces per colour with sizes mixed inside the 30. A sample does not commit you to a production run; we do not make garments for personal use.
Our sample fee is not refundable. Yarn sourcing, knit programming, machine setup and hand linking cost about the same whether one piece follows or five hundred, which is why the fee exists at all. It is credited against your first bulk order placed within six months of sample approval: 100% of a development sample fee, 50% of a ready sample fee.
Yes, for brands developing a style. One development piece is fine, with no commitment to bulk: a development sample is USD 150 per style and covers yarn sourcing, knit programming, one prototype and one revision round, in 15-25 days (cashmere and mohair are quoted individually). If you then go to production, the minimum is 30 pieces per colour with sizes mixed inside the 30, and the full USD 150 is credited against a first bulk order placed within six months of approving the sample. We do not make garments for personal wear.
Our published MOQ is 30 pieces per colour, and that number comes from the dye lot rather than from machine time: yarn is dyed in batches, and roughly 30 garments' worth of yarn is the smallest batch that keeps both cost and shade under control. Because the floor sits on the dyed yarn rather than on the style, styles that share one yarn in one colour are counted together against it. Four styles at 25 pieces each, all in the same yarn and the same colour, is 100 pieces on a single dye lot and is accepted. What does not combine is a second colour or a second yarn - each is its own dye lot with its own floor. So the first question to settle is not how many styles you have, it is how many yarn-and-colour combinations they add up to.
