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 — sweaters, knit tops, cardigans, knit dresses, knit 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 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 hand-feel right.

Why US 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 independent and contemporary US womenswear brands rather than mass programs.

03

Full Knit Wardrobe

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

04

Outside-China Supply

Turkish origin: no Section 301 surcharge, UFLPA-clean traceability, ~14 days ocean to the US East Coast. Founder-direct since 2010.

The Women's Knitwear Range

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

01

Knit Tops & Sweaters

Crewnecks, V-necks, turtlenecks, mock-necks and fine-gauge knit 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. Full detail on our cardigan manufacturer page.

03

Knit Dresses & Skirts

Sweater dresses, rib knit dresses, midi-maxi silhouettes and matching knit skirts — knitted to shape, not cut from panels. Full detail on our knit 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 knit top, the cardigan and the midi skirt, so colors match in daylight and the hand-feel 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 colorway differently. For a US brand building a knit-led collection, that coherence is worth more than a few cents 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: sweaters, knit tops, cardigans, knit dresses and knit 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 program, we're honestly not your factory.

What women's knitwear can you manufacture?

Women's sweaters and pullovers (crewneck, V-neck, turtleneck, mock-neck), knit tops and knitted vests, cardigans in every construction from cropped to longline, knit dresses and knit 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 US fit block. Multi-style collections are welcome — a typical first program is 2–4 styles in 2–3 colorways each.

Can you produce fine-gauge knit tops?

Yes — our machines run from 3gg chunky up to 14gg fine gauge, which covers lightweight knit tops, layering pieces and trans-seasonal styles as well as winter-weight sweaters. Rib, pointelle and textured stitch options are programmed into the machine, not hand-finished.

How long do sampling and production take?

First samples ship in 10–14 days ($80–180 per sample style). Bulk production runs 45–60 days from approved pre-production sample, and ocean transit from Mersin to the US East Coast is roughly 14 days.

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. FTC-compliant fiber content and care labeling, plus UFLPA traceability documentation, come standard on US-bound orders.
