If you're searching for a women's clothing manufacturer, here's our honest scope before you read further: we are a knitwear specialist, not a do-everything apparel factory. Every piece we make is knitted — jumpers, knitted tops, cardigans, jumper dresses, knitted skirts — on our own 22 Stoll and Shima Seiki flat-knit machines in Gaziantep. We don't do woven shirting, denim or tailoring, and we won't pretend to. That focus is precisely why UK brands come to us: knitwear is a different discipline from cut-and-sew, and a factory that lives in it every day gets the gauge, shaping and handle right. The import mechanics — duty, documents, freight — are covered in our guide to importing knitwear from Turkey.

Why UK Brands Choose a Knit Specialist

01

Knit-Only Focus

Flat-knit is all we do — the machine programming, yarn knowledge and finishing skill that generalist clothing factories subcontract out, we keep in-house.

02

MOQ 250 / Colour-Size

250 pieces per colour, per size — sized for UK independents and contemporary womenswear brands rather than mass programmes.

03

Full Knit Wardrobe

Tops, jumpers, cardigans, dresses and skirts from one factory — a coherent knit capsule with matched yarns and colourways across categories.

04

Duty-Free FTA Lane

0% UK duty with valid EUR.1 origin proof under the UK–Türkiye FTA, and 10–14 days by sea to Felixstowe. Founder-direct since 2010.

The Women's Knitwear Range

Everything below runs on our own machines, under your label:

01

Knitted Tops & Jumpers

Crew necks, V-necks, roll necks, mock necks and fine-gauge knitted tops — 3gg chunky to 14gg lightweight. Rib, pointelle, cable and jacquard options for tops that don't read as basics.

02

Cardigans

Cropped, longline, button-through and open-front cardigans with knitted button bands attached by linking. See our merino cardigan and mohair cardigan programmes.

03

Knitted Dresses & Skirts

Jumper dresses, rib knit dresses, midi-maxi silhouettes and matching knitted skirts — knitted to shape, not cut from panels. Full detail on our knitted dress manufacturer page.

04

WHOLEGARMENT Seamless

One-piece seamless knitwear on Shima Seiki WHOLEGARMENT machines — no side seams, the drape and comfort premium womenswear customers notice immediately. Available 5gg upward.

One Factory, One Knit Capsule

The practical advantage of a knitted tops supplier that also makes cardigans, dresses and skirts: your capsule matches. The same merino lot runs across the knitted top, the cardigan and the midi skirt, so colours match in daylight and the handle is consistent rail-wide. One tech pack review, one sampling round, one QC standard, one shipment — instead of coordinating three factories that each interpret your colourway differently. For a UK brand building a knit-led collection, that coherence is worth more than a few pence off any single style.

Women's Knitwear Manufacturing FAQ

Are you a full women's clothing manufacturer?

No — we are knitwear specialists, and we say so up front. Everything we make is knitted: jumpers, knitted tops, cardigans, knitted dresses and skirts on our own flat-knit machines. We do not produce woven clothing — no shirting, denim, tailoring or cut-and-sew woven dresses. If your line is knit-led, that focus is exactly why our quality holds; if you need a woven programme, we're honestly not your factory.

What women's knitwear can you manufacture?

Women's jumpers and pullovers (crew neck, V-neck, roll neck, mock neck), knitted tops and tank tops, cardigans in every construction from cropped to longline, jumper dresses, knitted dresses and skirts, and WHOLEGARMENT seamless pieces — in merino, lambswool, cashmere-blend, alpaca-blend, cotton and acrylic, gauges 3gg to 14gg.

What is your MOQ for women's knitwear?

250 pieces per colour, per size — each size is its own 250-piece minimum, graded to your UK block. Multi-style collections are welcome — a typical first programme is 2–4 styles in 2–3 colourways each.

Is women's knitwear from Turkey duty-free in the UK?

Most knitwear under HS Chapter 61 enters the UK at 0% under the UK–Türkiye FTA — but only with valid rules-of-origin proof (EUR.1 movement certificate or origin declaration). Without it, the UK Global Tariff applies (commonly around 12% on knitwear). We provide the origin documentation; your broker confirms the rate against the commodity code.

How long do sampling and production take?

First samples ship in 10–14 days (£60–140 per sample style) to your UK office. Bulk production runs 45–60 days from approved pre-production sample, and sea freight from Mersin to Felixstowe is roughly 10–14 days — road is faster if the calendar is tight.

What certifications do your yarns carry?

We source yarns from accredited suppliers with OEKO-TEX, GOTS and GRS certifications, and pass the supplier certificates to you on request. Fibre composition and care data to UK textile labelling rules, plus supplier traceability to support your due diligence, come standard on UK-bound orders.
