Women's Knitwear Manufacturer
Women's knitwear manufacturer for contemporary fashion brands
lpknit specialises in women's sweaters, cardigans and knit tops — designed with clean, contemporary European proportions and produced in our Dongguan factory for boutiques and fashion labels in the US, UK and Europe.
Overview
A factory focused on women's knitwear
Most of our catalogue and development work is women's knitwear. That focus shows in the details buyers check first: neckline shape, shoulder fit, sleeve length, rib depth and how a sweater drapes on the body rather than on a hanger.
We develop full seasonal ranges — from fine-gauge layering tops to textured winter cardigans — and produce them in the same factory, so fit and quality stay consistent across a collection. Brands can start with our existing women's styles or develop their own designs with our team.
Buyer Guide
Building a women's knitwear range
A balanced women's knitwear range usually covers three needs: a core sweater worn every week, a cardigan for layering, and a lighter knit top that works in transitional seasons. Building around these three keeps the collection easy to merchandise and easy to reorder.
Vary weight and texture across the range rather than within one style. Pair a fine-gauge merino or cashmere layering piece with a medium-gauge everyday sweater and one textured statement knit, such as cable, pointelle or openwork. This gives customers clear reasons to buy more than one piece.
Keep fit consistent. Customers who like the fit of one sweater expect the next one to fit the same way. Using one base measurement chart and grading rule across styles, and approving fit on the same size each time, keeps the collection coherent.
Plan colour as a story across categories. A shared palette between sweaters, cardigans and tops allows customers to coordinate pieces and lets you consolidate yarn orders, which helps with minimums and lead times.
