Estimate, not a quote

What a run roughly costs

A planning range before you ask a factory. The price you pay is the one the factory quotes, and you pay the factory directly.

Quoted from your brief

Yarn, gauge and knitting time decide the price of a jumper, and our cost calculator has no knitwear line yet. Send the brief and the factory quotes you directly from your yarn and quantity.

Where it gets made

Where UK knitwear is made

Knitwear sits with jersey in and around Leicester and Nottingham, the historic centre of UK garment making. We place your brief with whichever knitwear factory in our group fits your yarn, gauge and quantity.

Before you send

What to put in a knitwear brief

None of this is required to send a brief: send what you have and we ask for the rest. The more you tick, the faster a factory can quote.

Knitwear questions

Straight answers on UK knitwear

What brands ask before they send a knitwear brief.

From 100 pieces per style. We confirm the exact minimum for your yarn and gauge before you commit to anything.

Sampling takes 2–4 weeks. Bulk takes 6–8 weeks from the approved sample. Send the brief at least 14 weeks before your ship date.

Yarn, gauge and knitting time decide the price, so the factory quotes from your brief. Our cost calculator has no knitwear line yet. Sending the brief is free, and the factory quotes and bills you directly.

Yes. If you need GOTS, OEKO-TEX or GRS, say so in the brief and we only place it with factories that can show a current certificate for that product.

Not to send a brief. The factory needs one before it can quote accurately and knit a sample. Our tech pack service turns sketches, references or a sample into a factory-ready pack for £79 per style in 3–5 working days.
