Pure Virgin Wool

$12–18/pc · Classic warmth · Fall/winter staple

Cotton/Acrylic Blend

$6–10/pc · Pilling-resistant · Best value option

Combed Cotton

$7–13/pc · Dry & breathable · Spring/summer lightweight

Cashmere (Inner Mongolia)

$28–45/pc · Ultra-soft lightweight warmth · Premium brand line

Collar Craft — Same Sweater, Different Collar, Different Price

The craftsmanship challenge of knit sweaters lies mainly in the collar and shoulder treatment. The same basic style with a different collar type changes labor hours and material usage.

Crewneck/Polo Collar

Rib recovery is key. Compression ratio 1:0.7–0.8 ideal — too tight or too loose won't work.
→ Collar Techniques

V-Neck

Depth: women 16–20cm / men 18–22cm. V-point reinforcement essential.
→ Construction Details

Turtleneck/Mock Neck

Height: women 15–22cm / men 18–25cm. Heat-setting required to prevent sagging after washing.
