Product Overview
Transitioning wool into a summer-appropriate garment requires exceptional technical skill. The pointelle polo combines the classic, preppy aesthetic of a collared shirt with the romantic, breathable nature of open-knit lacework. When executed in featherweight 18GG worsted wool, it creates a sophisticated, semi-sheer top that is highly sought after by luxury resort and contemporary ready-to-wear labels.

Manufacturing Excellence: Mastering 18GG Pointelle
Precision Open-Knitting: Creating "holes" (pointelle) in an 18-gauge fabric using highly slippery 2/60 worsted yarn is a significant technical challenge. Ordinary machines will drop stitches and cause the fabric to ladder. Our advanced Japanese programming ensures absolute structural integrity, meaning the delicate lacework will never run or fray during commercial wear.
Silky & Pilling-Resistant: The 2/60Nm worsted spinning process removes all short, itchy fibers. The resulting yarn feels incredibly smooth against bare skin and is highly resistant to pilling, maintaining its premium look wash after wash.
Ethical & Traceable: We operate under strict sustainable guidelines. Our factory is fully audited by BSCI and WRAP, ensuring ethical labor practices. All our yarns are OEKO-TEX 100 certified, guaranteeing a chemical-free finish .

B2B Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Since the fabric has pointelle (holes), is it too see-through?
A: The level of transparency is entirely up to you. We can program the pointelle pattern to be placed only on the sleeves and hem for modesty, or all over for a daring, sheer resort-wear look meant to be layered over a bralette.
Q2: Can we change the collar to a standard crewneck?
A: Absolutely. While the polo collar is trending, the 18GG pointelle fabric works beautifully as a classic crewneck or V-neck t-shirt. We customize the silhouette entirely based on your tech-pack.
Q3: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
A: Despite the high technical requirement of 18GG pointelle, we support our brand partners with a highly accessible MOQ of just 100 pieces per style/colorway .
Q4: How long does custom pointelle programming take?
A: Because intricate lace patterns require specialized machine programming and tension testing, sample production typically takes 7 to 14 days after your design is confirmed .
