Sweaters & knitwear

Knitwear developed through yarn, gauge and shape.

Category overview

Sweaters and fully fashioned knitwear follow a different production route from cut-and-sew jersey. Tivelin coordinates yarn selection, knit structure, gauge, linking, wash, measurement and finishing with specialist knitwear partners.

Tivelin reviews the intended product and builds a category-specific route before a manufacturing partner is nominated.
