Knitwear
Knit garments coordinated through qualified Asian knit manufacturing partners for brands and programs that need gauge control, clean finishing, and seasonal reliability. Canadian buyers benefit from structured sampling, clear yarn and stitch specifications, and delivery into Canada aligned to collection calendars and wholesale windows.
Knitwear into Canada requires careful attention to gauge, yarn quality, and finishing so garments arrive with the intended drape and recovery. We coordinate labelling, folding, and packing that protect knit structure during transit, and we retain approved references for reorders—yarn lot discipline, stitch density, and measurement standards—so subsequent deliveries continue the same commercial story. Buyers should expect development time for gauge and yarn decisions before bulk commitments.
Common use cases
- Private-label sweaters and knit layers for retail collections
- Corporate and promotional knit pieces with refined branding
- Seasonal Canadian assortment drops requiring gauge consistency
- Uniform-adjacent knit layers for polished staff presentation
- Capsule knit programs where finishing quality is brand-critical
Customization options
- Gauge, stitch, and silhouette development against the brief
- Neckline, cuff, and hem finishing options
- Yarn selection for hand-feel, recovery, and seasonality

- Label and packing presentation for Canadian market delivery
Decoration
- Tone-on-tone or contrast embroidery suited to knit grounds
- Intarsia and patterned knit identity when technically appropriate
- Woven labels and heat seals for private-label branding
- Subtle print methods only when fabric stability allows
- Decoration trials at sampling to confirm stitch behaviour
Materials
- Cotton and cotton-blend yarns for everyday knit programs
- Wool and wool-blend options when season and brief require them
- Acrylic and mixed yarns for specific hand or care targets
- Specialty yarns discussed when mill access supports the brief
- Rib and trim yarns selected for colour and recovery match
MOQ notes
Knitwear MOQs often reflect yarn dyeing lots, gauge setup, and colourways. We clarify realistic minimums with manufacturing partners before sampling—without presenting a fixed knit MOQ that ignores yarn and machine constraints.
Sampling
Yarn and gauge development usually precede full garment approval. Proto and pre-production samples should confirm measurements, finishing, and any decoration before bulk knitting proceeds.
Lead times
Lead times depend on yarn booking, colour development, knitting capacity, finishing, and Canada shipping mode. Indicative schedules are shared at quotation and refined after approvals—they remain estimates, not fixed in-store dates.
FAQ
Common questions
We can work from physical references and measurements to approach a target gauge and hand. Exact matches depend on yarn and machine availability, which we validate during development.
Finishing methods and yarn choices are specified and checked at sampling. Care instructions should reflect the approved construction so Canadian end users maintain intended fit.
Wool and wool-blend programs can be discussed when yarn supply and factory capability align. Composition, care, and hand-feel expectations should be defined early.
Fold methods, tissue, and carton density can be specified to reduce crushing and distortion. Final packing standards are confirmed against your quality preferences.
Reorder continuity improves when yarn shade standards and approved references are retained. Yarn lot availability still needs confirmation for each new production run.
