Pullovers and Crews, Knitted to Shape

Crew, V-neck, turtleneck, mock-neck and boat-neck pullovers, built by knitting panels to shape rather than cutting them from fabric.

Product Detail

Panels, Not Pattern Pieces

A sweater is not cut and sewn, it is knitted to shape and linked together. That means the specification is a stitch count and a gauge, not a pattern - and a factory that is excellent at jersey may have no business knitting a 7GG crew.

We place sweaters by gauge and by linking capability, approve weight and stitch count on bulk yarn, and control the one thing that ruins the category most often: shrinkage and pilling after wash and softening.

  • Crew, V-neck, turtleneck, mock-neck and boat-neck bodies
  • Gauges from 3GG chunky through to 16GG fine
  • Acrylic, cotton, wool, lambswool, merino and blended yarns
  • Fully fashioned, semi-fashioned and cut-and-sew constructions

Quality Control

What We Control

Early Yarn Booking

Yarn dyeing and delivery is the longest lead item. It is booked ahead of the order, not after.

Stitch-Count Sizing

Measurements controlled by stitch and row count per size, giving consistency a cut pattern cannot.

Anti-Pilling & Handfeel

Pilling performance and softness tested on bulk yarn, because handfeel is what sells this category.

Panel Shade Matching

Body, sleeve and trim panels matched from the same dye lot to avoid visible shade variation on one garment.
