Keep the right details.
Share the yarn label, supplier article or physical sample. If you want the same yarn, its availability is checked; a proposed match is reviewed before approval.

Yarn Matching
for Your Knitwear.
Bring the composition, colour or physical reference you want to match. Our own yarn company and stocked warehouse support the search, then we review the proposed yarn and knit structure with you.

The blend you want.
A reference we can work from.
Start with a market yarn you want to match, a target fibre percentage or a special composition for your brand. We review sourcing and matching options around the composition, count, colour, surface and hand feel.
Special composition
Build a clear specification.
Tell us the required fibre percentages and how the garment should feel and behave. Custom blends, yarn-specific minimums and timing are discussed for your project.
Regular fibres
Cotton. Polyester. Nylon.
These are among the regular fibre types we work with. Confirm the article, quantity, colour and stock position for your actual order.
Yarn preparation
From thread to a material direction.
Stock & selection
A palette of yarn possibilities.
Material study
Compare texture, colour and hand feel.
An own yarn company
A stronger material
starting point.
Our yarn company and stock support help us explore the composition you have in mind, from familiar fibres to a specific blend direction.
Review the material and colour through a physical swatch. Composition is one part of the match; count, structure and finishing also shape the final garment.

Stock / sourcing support
A stocked warehouse.
More options to review.
We have a well-stocked yarn warehouse supporting material preparation. Cotton, polyester and nylon are regular starting points; other compositions can be discussed against your brief.
Share planned garment quantities early so yarn availability and any sourcing conditions can be reviewed together.
Structure / agree the behaviour
Surface and shape
work together.
Compare a plain, rib, cable or openwork direction against the intended garment. Review stretch, recovery, coverage, texture scale and how the structure affects the silhouette.
Confirm the knitting gauge and yarn combination through development rather than assigning a gauge from an image.
Swatch review / practical checklist
Ask what the swatch
needs to tell you.
| Material direction | Fibre specification, yarn reference, colour standard and required documents. |
|---|---|
| Construction | Stitch direction, texture scale, gauge to review and planned garment use. |
| Appearance | Colour under an agreed light, coverage, pattern placement and edge character. |
| Behaviour | Hand feel, weight, stretch, recovery and any agreed care or testing requirements. |
Review a physical swatch and the garment sample together. A pleasing texture can behave differently once it becomes a full garment.
From panel / to product
Keep a reference
for the next decision.
Identify the chosen material and structure in the sample brief. Record what was approved so a revision does not quietly change the fabric direction.
Describe the
material direction.
Send the yarn or fabric reference and explain the feel, coverage and garment use you have in mind.
