Design Highlights
3D Fringe Lion Mane: The most striking feature of this sweater is the hand-looped yarn fringe encircling the intarsia lion face. This creates a tactile, three-dimensional "mane" effect that is impossible to replicate with standard flat printing or embroidery.
Precision Intarsia Knitting: The lion face is not a sewn-on patch but is directly knitted into the fabric using multi-color intarsia technique on our 7GG machines. This ensures the pattern is fully integrated, durable, and will not peel or detach.
Pet-Friendly Ergonomics: Featuring a reinforced ribbed turtleneck and hem for warmth, short sleeves for unrestricted movement, and a belly-open design for easy dressing and bathroom access.
Manufacturing Excellence: From Human Luxury to Pet Couture
20 Years of Knitwear Mastery: WFS Cashmere has spent two decades perfecting fine-gauge and mid-gauge knitwear for leading human fashion brands. We now bring that same level of quality and precision to the pet apparel segment.
Dual Material Strategy: Our standard 50% Viscose / 28% Nylon / 22% Polyester blend offers excellent commercial viability (machine-washable, highly durable, cost-effective). For brands targeting the luxury pet market—where cashmere dog sweaters retail for $200-$325 —our custom 70% Wool / 30% Cashmere upgrade delivers an unmatched hand-feel and premium positioning.
Ethical & Certified: All our materials and processes are OEKO-TEX 100 certified, ensuring the fabric is free from harmful chemicals and 100% safe for direct contact with pet skin and fur.

B2B Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can we create a matching owner-and-pet set?
A: Absolutely! This is a massive trend in the pet fashion market. We can simultaneously manufacture a human-sized intarsia sweater and the matching pet version using the exact same dye-lot and lion pattern, ensuring perfect color and design consistency.
Q2: Is the fringe mane safe for pets? Will they chew it off?
A: The fringe loops are tightly anchored into the knit structure using a reinforced looping technique. While no pet garment is entirely "chew-proof," our construction significantly minimizes the risk of loose threads. For extra-active chewers, we can shorten the fringe length.
Q3: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
A: We support our brand partners with a flexible MOQ of just 100 pieces per style/colorway.
Q4: How long does custom sample production take?
A: Due to the hand-finishing of the fringe mane and multi-color intarsia, custom sample production typically takes 7 to 14 days.
Q5: Can we switch to a 100% organic cotton for a summer version?
A: Yes. We offer extensive yarn options including organic cotton, bamboo blends, and lightweight merino for warm-weather pet apparel.
