We don't publish a single price list because knitwear pricing doesn't work that way. A 3-gauge chunky cable jumper and a 12-gauge WHOLEGARMENT seamless base layer require different machines, different machine time, different yarn weights, and different linking labour — their CMT costs are genuinely different. What we can do is give you the cost ranges by construction type, and explain what moves your piece up or down within that range. If you'd rather talk it through, get in touch or read more about how we work.

CMT Cost Ranges by Construction Type

All prices are CMT only (cut, make, trim — labour and overhead). Yarn cost is separate and depends entirely on fibre, count, and market price at time of order. These are 2025–2026 ranges in US dollars (the trade currency for yarn and CMT); actual quotes depend on your specific brief.

01

Basic Jumper / Crew Neck

$8–14 CMT
Fully-fashioned flat-knit, 7–12gg, single stitch structure (jersey, 1×1 rib). Standard linking. Low complexity. Typical for cotton basics and entry-price merino programmes.

02

Textured / Patterned Knitwear

$14–22 CMT
Cable, jacquard, intarsia or structural texture. More machine programming, slower throughput, tighter QC. Mid-range merino, premium cotton, and wool-blend programmes.

03

WHOLEGARMENT / Seamless

$18–30 CMT
Single-piece 3D knit on Shima Seiki. Slower per-unit throughput than panel construction. No linking cost. Best for premium, next-to-skin, and sustainability-positioned programmes.

04

Chunky / Low-Gauge (3–5gg)

$12–20 CMT
Heavier yarn, larger loop structures. Slower machine throughput at low gauge despite visual simplicity. Typical for outerwear-weight jumpers, cardigans, and chunky accessories.

What Moves Your Price Up or Down

Increases CMT cost

  • More stitch structures in one garment (cable + jacquard + rib)
  • Lower gauge (3–5gg) — slower machine throughput
  • Intarsia colour work (hand-placement at machine)
  • Small order volume (fewer units = less amortisation)
  • More panels (set-in sleeves vs raglan vs WHOLEGARMENT)
  • Hand-finishing: fulling, brushing, garment wash
  • Special sizes outside standard S–XL range

Decreases CMT cost

  • Single stitch structure (jersey, rib) — faster throughput
  • Mid-gauge 7–10gg — optimal machine speed
  • Standard construction (drop shoulder, raglan)
  • Higher volume (500+ units per style) — better amortisation
  • Standard colourways (no intarsia, max 2–3 yarn colours)
  • Repeat order of same or similar style (no reprogram)
  • Standard size range (XS–XL, 5 sizes)

Sample Fees

A

Proto Sample

£60–140 including shipping to the UK. One colourway, one size. Yarn may be substituted (closest available) if your specified yarn is not in stock. Turnaround: 10–14 days from tech pack approval.

B

Salesman Sample

£90–200 depending on construction. Production-spec yarn, production-spec construction. For wholesale showroom or buyer meetings. Turnaround: 14–21 days from proto sign-off.

C

Size Set

£45–80 per additional size from the first approved sample. For fit approval across your size run before bulk production. Recommended for fitted constructions and washed garments.

D

Bulk Pre-Production Sample

Included in bulk orders. One unit produced at the start of bulk to confirm the production line matches approved samples. Standard practice; no additional charge.

Minimum Order Quantities

1
250 units per colour per style — minimum per production run. This applies to all constructions including WHOLEGARMENT. The 250-unit MOQ covers machine setup, programming amortisation, and material efficiency.
2
No minimum for sampling — proto and salesman samples are single units. We produce samples at the fees above regardless of whether bulk follows. If bulk doesn't follow, we still produce the sample.
3
Volume discounts above 1,000 units — larger programmes at 1,000+ units per colour unlock better CMT pricing. We'll quote this explicitly when your programme reaches that scale.

Duty, Shipping & Landed Cost

CMT and yarn are only part of your landed cost. From Gaziantep, knitwear typically ships to the UK by road-sea through ports such as Felixstowe, or by air for urgent samples. Most knitwear qualifies for 0% duty under the UK–Turkey Free Trade Agreement — but this is conditional, not automatic: goods must meet the agreement's rules of origin and travel with a valid EUR.1 movement certificate or origin declaration. Always confirm the commodity code and origin status with your customs broker before you fix landed-cost figures. We supply OEKO-TEX yarn documentation that satisfies UK REACH, and we can provide the supply-chain transparency UK brands need for Modern Slavery Act reporting.

Payment Terms

Samples are paid in full before production. Bulk orders are typically 30% deposit on order confirmation, 70% balance before shipment (T/T bank transfer). We work with established clients on net terms once a track record is in place. We accept USD and EUR. Payments are made to a Turkish bank account (Garanti BBVA). We provide a pro forma invoice before any payment.
