OEM mohair cardigans and jumpers for UK brands — kid mohair-silk blends, brushed halo construction and open-front silhouettes. Produced in Turkey and shipped to UK ports with the hand-finishing that a mohair piece demands.
Mohair is a trending fibre across UK contemporary and luxury knitwear — the halo, the lustre, the tactile quality are hard to replicate in synthetic alternatives. We produce brushed mohair cardigans and kid mohair-silk blend jumpers on flat-knit machines at gauges that allow the fibre to bloom correctly. Hand-finishing, proper brushing technique and in-house QC are what separate a mohair piece that photographs and sells from one that pills and comes back as a return.
Kid mohair-silk blend (72/28 — the luxury standard), brushed adult mohair, mohair-merino blend for structure. European-spun yarns with origin documentation.
2gg to 10gg depending on fibre blend and desired halo density. Our team advises on the right gauge for your silhouette — halo density changes significantly between 3gg and 5gg.
In-house brushing for consistent halo. Multiple passes for deeper bloom, single-pass for a lighter hand. Steaming and garment finishing to set the shape before packing.
Open-front cardigan, button cardigan, oversized drop-shoulder, belted wrap. Long-length and cropped proportions both well-suited to mohair's drape characteristics.
The 72/28 kid mohair-silk blend is the yarn behind most of the high-halo cardigans appearing in UK contemporary and luxury knitwear. The kid mohair provides the soft, fine halo; the silk adds structure, luminosity and prevents excessive stretch. We source from European spinners — predominantly Italian and Portuguese mills — with full fibre origin records, which also supports your UK REACH due diligence on materials.
At 5–7gg in a kid mohair-silk, the finished cardigan reads premium at a price point that works for independent UK brands selling at £180–£320 retail. The FOB price is higher than a merino or cotton piece, but the retail multiple justifies it — mohair-silk cardigans typically carry the highest margin per unit in a knitwear collection.
Most knitwear moving from Turkey to Great Britain can be imported at a 0% preferential tariff under the UK-Turkey Free Trade Agreement — but the preference is conditional, not automatic. To claim it you must meet the agreement's rules of origin and hold valid proof of origin: an EUR.1 movement certificate or an origin declaration on the commercial invoice. We prepare that documentation as standard. Have your customs broker confirm the commodity code and origin position before a bulk order, so the 0% rate is locked in rather than assumed.
On compliance, mohair cardigans sold in the UK fall under UK REACH for chemical and material substances, and as an importer you carry obligations under the Modern Slavery Act for supply-chain transparency. We support both: material origin records, fibre-content and care labelling to UK requirements, and visibility into our in-house flat-knit production in Gaziantep. For sea freight, a typical routing is Mersin to Felixstowe in roughly 10–14 days transit, plus customs clearance — budget that into your critical path alongside ocean freight and brokerage when you cost a landed price.

Indicative FOB Mersin at 250–500 pcs MOQ. Add ocean freight, UK import duty (0% if FTA origin is met) and customs brokerage for landed cost. We won't undercut China on price — the case for Turkish production is the FTA-eligible duty position, the quality of in-house flat-knit and finishing, and proximity to the UK on lead time.
