Manufacturing Excellence: The Worsted Open-Neck Advantage
Knitting a lightweight open-neck garment presents unique challenges that we have mastered:
Flawless Neckline Tension: A wide open-neck is prone to stretching and gaping over the shoulders. We meticulously calibrate the tension of the neckline trim and utilize stitch-by-stitch hand linking, ensuring the collar lies perfectly flat against the skin and retains its exact shape wash after wash.
The Power of Worsted 2/48Nm Yarn: Unlike "woolen" yarns that are fluffy, this "worsted" yarn is combed to remove short fibers and tightly twisted. This results in a fabric that is incredibly smooth, feels cool to the touch, and drastically resists surface pilling.
16-Gauge Precision: Our advanced Shima Seiki machines create a tightly interlocked 16-gauge stitch that is feather-light yet structurally opaque, providing a sleek, second-skin fit without unwanted transparency.
Advanced OEM Customization
Neckline Adjustments: The "Open Neck" can be graded to your exact specifications—from a subtle boat neck to a deep, dramatic ballet scoop neck.
Seamless Finishes: Elevate the minimalist aesthetic by replacing ribbed cuffs with seamless tubular hems.
Easy Care: The high merino content combined with worsted spinning makes this garment exceptionally durable and easy to care for compared to standard cashmere.
