How Linknit Manufactures Custom Knitwear — 8-Step Production Process

Linknit manufactures custom knitwear through 8 standardized stages — from design review to packaging and export. The full process covers yarn selection, computer programming, sample approval, bulk scheduling, production and processing, quality inspection, and export delivery. Eight standardized stages with full traceability — brand clients can clearly see how orders move forward, how approvals work, and how stable delivery is guaranteed. Sampling confirms the design before bulk production, reducing trial-and-error risk.

8-Stage Process

Standardized Production Chain from Sampling to Export

We break down every knitwear custom order into 8 key stages. At each milestone, clients can clearly confirm style, materials, samples, quality, and delivery progress.

01

Requirement Briefing

Discuss product type, quantity, target market, price point, and delivery timeline. Clarify design and technical requirements to build a clear requirements checklist.

Yarn Selection

Match the optimal yarn solution based on hand feel, fiber composition, yarn count (Nm), and cost. Provide yarn samples and shade cards for client confirmation.

Computer Programming

Our professional pattern-making team converts measurement specs into stitch and course counts. Develop flat-knitting machine programs for precise fit, stitch density, structure, and shrinkage compensation.

Sample Approval

Rapid sampling with multiple revision rounds. Bulk production begins only after the client confirms the production sample (PP sample), minimizing bulk production risk.
