  • Inspection & shipping

    Measured against your size chart, then DDP or FOB.

Quality

Quality you can check.

Tested yarn, agreed tolerances and a measured check on every piece.

  • Tested yarn

    Our cashmere yarn is tested by SGS for fibre content, colourfastness and pilling.

  • Size chart with tolerances

    Every style gets a size chart with 14 points of measure. Tolerances are ±1–2 cm (⅜–¾ in) at 12gg and 16gg, ±2–3 cm (¾–1¼ in) at 7gg and 3gg.

  • Official testing

    Our finished cashmere sweaters passed a 2025 official spot check by the Suzhou Fibre Inspection Institute (GB 18401, FZ/T 73009).

  • Final inspection

    Every piece is measured before packing. Anything outside tolerance is reworked or remade.

Audits & reports

BSCI and Sedex audited. SGS yarn reports and finished-garment test reports are available to brands on request.

FAQ

What brands ask before sampling.

What is your minimum order for my own design?

One piece, even for your own design, as long as it uses our stock yarns and colours. There's no development or pattern fee: each design is priced on its own construction, even for a single piece. Custom-dyed yarn isn't possible at that quantity because spinners need much larger minimums.

How does sampling work?

A sample is a 1-piece order that follows the same process as bulk, with the same 2–3 week lead time. It's quoted like any other order.

What is the bulk lead time?

2–3 weeks once the order is confirmed. Our capacity is 100 pieces a day; larger runs are scheduled with you by email. Allow extra time around Chinese public holidays such as Chinese New Year and Golden Week in early October.

Can you source a yarn I specify?

Not at the moment. A specified yarn has to be dyed to order, which adds weeks to the lead time and brings large minimums. We work from our 4 yarns and 194 stock colours instead. Our stock cashmere is a single yarn count, 2/26, knitted in more plies for heavier gauges.

What cashmere do you use?

Grade A 100% cashmere, with fibres 14.5–15 microns fine and 34–38 mm long. Yarn test reports are available on request.

Do you knit cotton?

No. Made-to-order costs on an inexpensive fibre like cotton push the unit price too high for buyers. We knit cashmere, cashmere-wool, extra-fine merino and Tencel-silk.

What are your payment terms?

PayPal, or bank transfer (T/T) to our company account. Production starts once payment is received.

Do you ship FOB or DDP?

Both. Orders to the US ship DDP by FedEx or UPS, with duties included. Larger orders can go by air or sea freight. We also ship DDP to the UK, EU, Canada, Australia and Mexico, or FOB with your own forwarder.

Can you do jacquard, intarsia or embroidery?

Yes, all three. We don't print on knitwear.

What if something is wrong with an order?

Before dispatch we can send photos of each finished piece laid flat beside a tape measure for your approval. If the yarn, pattern or knitting is wrong, or a measurement falls outside the agreed tolerance, we remake the piece free of charge or refund it in full.
