Product Overview
A sheer knit turtleneck is a high-margin, sophisticated alternative to basic summer tops. It allows the wearer to achieve an elevated, tailored look during the spring and summer without overheating. Its ultra-thin profile makes it the perfect foundational piece to layer under light linen blazers, silk slip dresses, or crisp cotton shirting.

Manufacturing Excellence: Mastering the Summer Knit
Many brands struggle to source true summer knitwear because most factories lack the machinery and skill to knit at 16-gauge tension without yarn breakage.
Flawless 16GG Execution: Our advanced Shima Seiki machines are rigorously calibrated to handle hyper-fine 2/60Nm yarns. This ensures a tightly interlocked, uniform stitch that is incredibly thin but structurally resilient.
Zero-Itch Necklines: Because the collar sits snugly against the neck in warmer weather, absolute softness is mandatory. We strictly use low-micron fibers (like Silk or Super Fine Merino) and expertly link the collar seams to prevent any chafing or irritation.
Seamless Finish Options: To maintain the sleek, "invisible" aesthetic of a second-skin top, we offer precision tubular casting at the hem and cuffs, eliminating the bulk of traditional ribbed trims.
Advanced OEM Customization
Custom Opacity: We can adjust the knitting tension to meet your exact opacity requirements—from a daring, highly sheer editorial look to a more conservative, opaque drape for office wear.
Color Fastness: Summer garments require frequent washing. We utilize OEKO-TEX certified reactive dyes that penetrate deeply into the fine fibers, ensuring the colors remain vibrant and do not degrade under UV light.
Frequently Asked Questions (OEM/B2B FAQ)
Q1: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for this 16GG sheer turtleneck?
A: Our standard MOQ is 100 pieces per style/color.
Q2: Isn't a turtleneck too hot for Spring/Summer?
A: Not when engineered correctly. By using highly breathable, thermo-regulating fibers like Silk-Cashmere or Super Fine Merino knitted at an ultra-thin 16-gauge, the garment acts as a cooling second skin. It is extremely popular for office environments with heavy air conditioning.
Q3: Can we add short sleeves to this turtleneck design?
A: Absolutely. A short-sleeve or sleeveless mock neck is a classic summer silhouette. We can easily adjust your tech pack to accommodate different sleeve lengths.
Q4: How long does fine-gauge sample production take?
A: Utilizing our extensive stock of fine 2/48Nm or 2/60Nm yarns, custom sampling typically takes just 7-10 days.
