FROM MATERIAL TO APPLICATION

Explore what the material could become

Soft knitwear

For cardigans, pullovers and layering pieces, review hand feel, weight, stitch definition and care through sampling.

Textured surfaces

A brushed or raised finish needs its own yarn and finishing trials. Check the surface alongside pilling, shedding and dimensions.

Knit outerwear

Consider body, drape, recovery and edge stability together. A garment sample connects the material choice to the finished silhouette.

COMPARE WITH CARE

A grade name is only the beginning

Royal, Baby and Superfine labels vary between suppliers. Compare the actual fibre diameter, composition and test information, then assess the relevant yarn or sample.
