Overview
Use a substitute-yarn sample to review shape, construction and selected workmanship details. Review feel, weight, drape, colour and washing response again in the final yarn.
What to check in the substitute yarn
- Overall silhouette
- Construction method
- Placement and proportion
- Selected workmanship details
What to check in the final yarn
- Final touch and weight
- Drape and recovery
- Color and surface
- Wash response and dimensions
- Material performance
Agree what each sample will help you decide. This makes it easier to track construction changes separately from changes in the final yarn.
Start with your material and product brief. If the yarn change affects purchasing or dye lots, check the minimum quantity.
