What Yarn for Cardigans

Cardigan yarn selection matters more than pullovers — the placket and pockets require certain firmness. Too-soft yarn can cause the placket to warp. We recommend suitable yarns from the sampling stage.

Virgin Wool
$12–18/pc · Classic warmth · High placket stiffness
Cashmere
$28–45/pc · Ultra-soft & light · Recommend reinforced placket
Cotton/Acrylic Blend
$6–10/pc · Low pilling · Best value
Fancy Yarn
$8–20/pc · Boucle/Slub · Designer styles
Combed Cotton
$7–13/pc · Dry & breathable · Spring/summer lightweight
Merino Wool
$18–26/pc · Soft & skin-friendly · Four-season wear

Placket Craftsmanship — The Core of Cardigan Quality

Common cardigan rework issues: placket warping, uneven button placement, pocket thread breakage. Different placket treatments for the same cardigan can vary labor and cost by 15–25%.

Placket Flatness
Use interfacing reinforcement + 24 hr flat lay before stitching to prevent wavy edges.
→ Cardigan Guide
Button Positioning
A 2–3 mm button offset is noticeable. Confirm each button position at PP sample stage.
→ Sampling Issues
Pocket Reinforcement
Side and chest pockets without reinforcement at bottom corners can tear. Recommend flat-knit binding.
