In the contact with so many customers, sweater suppliers found a very interesting phenomenon.
Frankly speaking, customers that are not very experienced in design will come to ask sweater suppliers sourcing some of the ready-to-wear styles.
And customers have no idea about gauges and pattern, for example, rib pattern, 1×1 rib, 3×3 rib, 6×2 rib, the effect made by 12gg and 7gg is of course very different.
And relatively experienced designers or more professional designers usually ask sweater suppliers sourcing some new yarns or patterns.
For us, sweater suppliers with more than 20 years of professional sweater production experience. For a new season collection, when we get the teck pack, we will divide the design according to the size and craftsmanship.
Generally speaking, a sweater can be split from style / shoulder / sleeve / collar / body construction / pattern / others.
1. Style
For example, a sweater can be subdivided into a pullover / cardigan / dress / vest.
2. Shoulder
According to the size of shoulder and chest width, we can subdivide the shoulder into regular shoulder / drop shoulder / raglan sleeve.
3. Sleeve Type
Sleeves can be subdivided into regular sleeves / horn sleeves / lantern sleeves / puff sleeves / round shoulder sleeves.
4. Neck
Neck can be subdivided into round neck / V neck / boat neck / polo / turtle neck / mock neck, etc.
5. Guage
1.5GG / 3GG / 5GG / 9GG / 12GG / 14GG / 16GG.
6. Body Construction
The body construction is also the pattern. Some conventional patterns have jersey stitch / half cardigan stitch / moss stitch / rib and so on. In addition, whether the neck and armhole need to fully-fashioned and so on.
After the split of the style, the next step is to do the process combination.
See, it’s simple now, right?
