Computerized Knitwear Manufacturing

Computerized Flat-Knit Sweater Production for Fashion Brands

TYKNIT uses 60 computerized flat knitting machines to manufacture custom sweaters and knitwear from fine to chunky gauges. We manufacture knitwear and do not sell knitting machines. Drawing on family-workshop production experience dating to 2013, we support fashion brands, private labels, wholesalers and e-commerce sellers with OEM, ODM, sample development and bulk production.

Core computerized flat-knitting range: 3GG–14GG.

Repeat orders of confirmed styles can reach 1,000 pieces per day under a matched production plan. Actual output depends on style, yarn, gauge, craftsmanship, color and size breakdown, and schedule.

A practical development choice

Choosing gauge for jacquard and intarsia

Both coarse and fine gauges can produce patterned knitwear. Gauge describes machine needles per inch: a higher gauge offers more needles across the same working width. Finished stitch density also depends on yarn and knitting settings.

Coarse gauge · texture and bold motifs

In our everyday development work, coarser gauges tend to give more visible stitches and a fuller texture. Bold, simplified motifs can work well; small details may need enlarging or simplifying. Gauge alone does not determine garment thickness.

Fine gauge · smaller pattern details

For comparable motif sizes, finer gauges often give us more scope to resolve small jacquard details and intarsia edges. The result still depends on compatible yarn, stitch structure, color layout and finishing. Finer is not automatically better for every design.

Start with the intended motif size, handfeel and season. We review yarn, gauge and construction together, then confirm the direction with a physical sample.

Custom flat-knit production process

For custom jacquard or intarsia sweaters, TYKNIT reviews the artwork, motif placement, color count, yarn and gauge before sampling. A knitted-in pattern is developed with the garment construction; it is not the same as printing on a finished sweater. Suitability and the final effect require physical sample approval.

Production responsibility

One TYKNIT-managed workflow, with clear production boundaries.

Core factory operations

Computerized flat knitting is carried out on our own 3GG–14GG machines. Linking, finishing, final quality inspection and packing are managed through the TYKNIT factory workflow.

Approved local resources

Hand crochet, selected embroidery or decorative work, and approved capacity support may be coordinated through vetted local production resources when a project requires it.

TYKNIT remains accountable

We retain responsibility for technical requirements, scheduling, in-process checks, final QC and shipment coordination, whether a step is completed in-house or through an approved resource.
