High-Volume Handknitting Done Right
Getting Started: Materials
-
Fibers
Peru is home to some of the highest quality fibers, including pima cotton, alpaca and highland wool. Others such as cashmere and merino wool are regularly imported and then expertly spun and finished in Peru, qualifying them for duty-free status to the US and other countries.
-
Yarns
An endless combination of thickness, twist and fibers can be spun at Peru’s exceptional mills. We’re here to guide you through the technical aspects such as lead times, minimums, care instructions, as well as aesthetics, such as drape, volume and hand feel. And of course, price point.
-
Dyes
Yarns can be dyed custom colors at reasonable minimums. There’s a wide variety of options, from industrial dyes, semi-industrial, hand dyes, and natural dyes, as well as a wide range of garment dyes which can add a tremendous value and innovation to products.
-
Stock Service
A wide variety of stock service yarns are offered for all seasons in beautiful colors, which help avoid yarn lead times and minimums. If you also have a set yarn, we can also hold this for you in greige at our own warehouse and dye as needed to help reduce lead times.
Communication is at the heart of everything we do. From technical minutia to dates to production matters, we will always be in constant contact.
Design & Development
Before any production begins, we need to understand your designs, target pricing and timelines, so we can help you determine yarns and techniques. From there we make swatches, if necessary, and later prototypes. Once we receive your comments, we can make corrections and send an updated sample. Once the style is approved, sales samples are produced. and we are officially production ready.
Production & Export
Production can only start once styles are approved. We order all materials, carefully review them and distribute to the knitting groups we'll be working with.
There is continuous follow up until all goods are audited, and then brought into the office for final review and packaging.
Final Touches
Our team will take care of all packaging requirements for the items’ final destination, as well as any special shipping instructions. Stickers, barcodes, replacement button kits, folding styles — we can make it happen.
We work with FOB terms, meaning we include costs up to delivery to the airport and we prepare all shipping documents. If you’re not yet set up to import, we’re happy to walk you through the process.
