MATERIALS AND YARNS

Knitwear Materials and Yarn Development

LuMiao can develop knitwear in animal fibers, silk, plant fibers, regenerated fibers, synthetics and specialty yarn effects. The material choice is translated into a workable yarn specification, knit structure, gauge direction, color route and sample before production.

Direct answer

LuMiao can develop knitwear in animal fibers, silk, plant fibers, regenerated fibers, synthetics and specialty yarn effects. The material choice is translated into a workable yarn specification, knit structure, gauge direction, color route and sample before production.

Animal fibers

Cashmere, yak down, sheep wool, alpaca and mohair can be developed as pure fibers or blends. Each project defines the composition, yarn count, ply, color, batch documentation and performance direction.

Silk and plant fibers

Mulberry silk, cotton, linen, hemp and ramie support lighter, smoother or drier knitwear directions. Fiber percentage, yarn construction and finishing determine the result more reliably than the fiber name alone.

Regenerated and synthetic fibers

Viscose or rayon, modal, lyocell, nylon, polyester, acrylic and elastane can support drape, strength, recovery, care and price objectives. The corresponding supply record supports each branded fiber name.

Specialty yarn effects

Washi or paper yarn, metallic effects, boucle, chenille, marl and space-dyed yarns create distinctive surface and color effects. The project specification records both the effect and the legal fiber composition.

BUYER QUESTIONS

What material information is needed before sampling?

Confirm the fiber composition, yarn count or system, ply, twist or effect, target color, supplier or batch evidence when relevant, and the intended hand feel, weight and care direction.

How is a material changed from an existing reference?

LuMiao reviews the replacement yarn against gauge, density, drape, shrinkage, surface and cost, then develops and approves the revised garment specification.
