Questions buyers ask
What is the minimum order for custom knitwear?
25 pieces per style and color, with sizes mixed. Ugly Christmas sweaters start at 25 pieces per design.
Which gauges do you knit?
7 gauge for a classic sweater weight, 12 gauge for a fine knit, and 14 gauge or finer for a very fine knit. We confirm the gauge on your quote and you feel it on your sample.
Which yarns can we choose?
Acrylic, cotton, wool blends or recycled polyester. With recycled polyester, the label gives the recycled share, as the yarn supplier's certificate states it.
How many colors can a knitted design have?
Up to 4 yarn colors per design. Logos can also be embroidered, or sewn on as a chenille or embroidered patch.
Can you knit our logo into a sweater?
Yes. A logo can be knitted in, or embroidered on after knitting. Bold shapes knit best. Very small text can lose detail, so we may suggest a bigger size.
Can the pieces carry our own labels?
Yes. We sew your woven neck label and care label, and add your hang tags. We sew the fiber content, care and Made in Pakistan labels from label artwork you approve.
How long does an order take?
The sample takes about 2 weeks to make. After you approve it, bulk takes about 3 to 4 weeks. Shipping takes about 1 to 2 weeks by air, or about 6 to 8 weeks by sea.
How much does a sample cost?
One physical sample costs $150 to $500, depending on the design, plus shipping. It takes about 2 weeks to make.
