How do I choose the right yarn for knitwear?

Match the fibre to season, price point and hand: cotton/linen for spring-summer, merino and wool for year-round, cashmere blends for luxury, acrylic and recycled for value. Tell us your season and target price and we recommend.

What yarns can you work with?

Wool, merino, cashmere blends, cotton, linen, acrylic, recycled/GRS, mohair and alpaca, across 3GG-18GG gauges.

Does yarn choice affect the price a lot?

Yes. Acrylic and cotton blends are the most economical; merino, alpaca and cashmere raise the unit cost most.

What does Licheng Knitwear manufacture?

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.

Do you support low-risk trial orders?

Ready sample styles and selected custom programs can support lower-risk trials before larger seasonal orders.

Can a brand order a sample before committing to a production run?

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.
