Wholesale Knit ManufacturingQuestions About Bulk Orders & Our Ordering Process
If I have a pattern can you make me a sweater?
No, the time involved and cost of programming, sampling, and prototyping does not allow for cost effective one-off production.
Do you do crochet?
No, we do not do any crochet work.
Are you able to produce intimate apparel items?
No, we do not produce intimate apparel items.
Are you able to make blankets?
Yes, some. We do produce a baby blanket but our machine is limited by width of the needle bed so we are not able to make full sized blankets.
Do you knit sweaters or cardigans?
No, we do not offer sweater production.
Do you work with designers?
Yes, on a very limited basis due to the limited availability of machine time for sampling.
Can you create new patterns?
Moving a piece from a concept to a production ready piece takes time to program, prototype, sample and get to a production ready pattern. In most cases we find this does not make financial sense for small batch production and encourage our clients to work within our stock patterns.
Do you do fully fashioned pieces?
No, our WHOLEGARMENT equipment is designed to knit seamlessly and comes off the machine in one piece.
Are you able to sew in zippers, buttons or liners?
No, we are not set up to provide sewing services.

Do you have a mill you recommend or work with where I can have yarn made?
We do not have specific mill that we work with although we have a short list of mills that our customers have had their yarn spun to an appropriate quality standard.
What size yarn do I need to work on your machines?
We use either a 2/15 or a 2/16 yarn in our stock portfolio of products.
What gauge is your equipment?
We run both 8gg and 10gg equipment.

Can I buy your products wholesale with either no label or my label sewn on?
Yes, we can provide product either unlabeled or sew your label on depending on your label.
What is your production time?

I do not see a phone number listed, what is the best way to contact you?
Email is by far the best way to contact us so we can efficiently follow up with you. We spend most of our time on the production floor, so it is very difficult for us to stop and take unscheduled calls.
