Fine-Gauge
Fine-gauge knitting runs 12-18G needles for dense, smooth, lightweight fabrics - the knits that layer under jackets and read as retail-ready rather than craft. Fine gauge punishes cheap machines: loop irregularity and thin patches show immediately. Ours run dense and even, from merino and cotton programs to dressy retail knits.
How It Is Made
- 1
Gauge selection. 12G through 18G selected for the fabric weight and drape your program needs.
- 2
Fine yarn prep. Fine-gauge runs demand even, high-quality yarn - uneven yarn shows as bars across the panel.
- 3
Dense knitting. Knitted with loop density monitored so the fabric reads smooth under retail lighting.
- 4
Weight & hand-feel QC. Fabric weight and hand-feel verified against your approved sample before bulk.
