What is the minimum order for a knitwear manufacturer in Italy?
+
50 pieces per model, split across sizes and colours. Every model is evaluated on its own: jacquard, intarsia, or special yarns may need more because of the machine setup.
How much does it cost to manufacture knitwear in Italy?
+
At 50 pieces per model, knit tops start from €40, sweaters, knit hoodies, and knit trousers from €50, knit skirts and jumpsuits from €60, knit dresses from €80, and knit coats and jackets from €100. Yarn, gauge, technique, and quantity set the final price. A prototype costs about 3× and a sample about 2×.
How long does knitwear production take?
+
Yarn, first prototype, and the pre-production sample take 3–5 weeks. Production takes another 3–5 weeks, depending on volume, gauge, and finishing. Yarns not in stock at the spinner and jacquard programmes can add time.
What knitwear can an Italian manufacturer produce?
+
Sweaters, turtlenecks and mock necks, cardigans, polos, knit tops, knit jackets, beanies, and knit sets, for women, men, and children, from fine-gauge cashmere to chunky cable knits. Each model goes to the Italian workshop that knits it every day, from 50 pieces per model.
Are you a sweater manufacturer too?
+
Yes. Sweaters are most of what we make: crewnecks, turtlenecks, cable and chunky knits, in cashmere, merino, cotton, and blends, fully fashioned or cut and sewn, from 50 pieces per model.
Do I need a tech pack to start?
+
A workshop needs one before it can knit: measurements, gauge, stitch, yarn, and trims. If you don't have one, our design team builds it from your sketches or references, with a yarn and stitch plan.
What is a private label knitwear manufacturer?
+
A private label knitwear manufacturer produces knitwear that you sell under your own brand. With us, every model is developed from your design and made in Italy, from 50 pieces per model; if you don't have a tech pack, our design team builds it with you, with a yarn and stitch plan.
Which yarns can you source?
+
Almost any: cashmere, merino and fine wools, cotton and linen, silk and silk blends, alpaca and mohair, mostly from Italian spinners. As a cashmere manufacturer and knitwear supplier, we choose the yarn with you first, because it sets most of the price and the hand.
What is the difference between fully fashioned and cut and sewn knitwear?
+
Fully fashioned panels are knitted to shape and linked by hand: clean edges, precise fit, higher cost. Cut and sewn knitwear is cut from knitted fabric and sewn: more freedom in shape, lower cost on larger runs.
Do you ship worldwide and handle customs?
+
Yes. We ship worldwide and manage customs, duties, and the fibre composition, care, and origin labelling your market requires.
