If you are sourcing premium fine-gauge knitwear in China, WFS Cashmere welcomes you to meet our team at the 140th Canton Fair 2026, from October 31 to November 4, 2026, at Booth 5.1M04 in the China Import and Export Fair Complex, Guangzhou.
At this year’s fair, we will present our latest developments in 16GG and 18GG knitwear, with a focus on cashmere, worsted wool, wool-cashmere programs, and velvet-feel blend knitwear for brands, retailers, importers, and sourcing teams looking for refined OEM and ODM manufacturing solutions.
For buyers developing premium collections, this is not only an opportunity to review samples. It is also a practical chance to discuss yarn direction, gauge selection, sampling, MOQ, production planning, quality control, and long-term OEM cooperation with a manufacturer that works across 3GG to 18GG natural-fiber knitwear.
Exhibition: The 140th Canton Fair 2026
Dates: October 31 – November 4, 2026
Booth: 5.1M04
Venue: China Import and Export Fair Complex, Guangzhou
Company: WFS Cashmere
Guangzhou Office: Room 1907B, Sanyuanli Center, No. 31 Jichang Road, Baiyun District, Guangzhou
If you plan to attend Canton Fair and are reviewing knitwear suppliers for upcoming seasonal collections, we invite you to visit our booth and discuss your sourcing needs in person.
You can also learn more about our company on the WFS Cashmere homepage and our About Us page.
For buyers who would like a more detailed sourcing discussion before or after the exhibition, WFS Cashmere can also arrange meetings at our Guangzhou office:
Room 1907B, Sanyuanli Center, No. 31 Jichang Road, Baiyun District, Guangzhou
This is especially useful for buyers who want to continue conversations about:
OEM or ODM development plans
16GG and 18GG gauge selection
cashmere, worsted wool, and silk-blend yarn direction
velvet-feel blend development
sampling timelines and MOQ planning
seasonal production schedules
long-term cooperation after the fair
For many sourcing teams, trade fairs are the starting point. A follow-up meeting in Guangzhou can help move the conversation from general product interest to a more practical development plan.
At Booth 5.1M04, WFS Cashmere will highlight product directions that are increasingly relevant to premium fashion brands and sourcing teams:
16GG fine-gauge cashmere knitwear
18GG fine-gauge worsted wool and cashmere-blend knitwear
Velvet-feel blend knitwear with refined handfeel and drape
Worsted wool-cashmere developments for premium essentials
Lightweight pullovers, cardigans, knit tops, dresses, and coordinated knit sets
OEM and ODM developments for private label and collection-based programs
These categories are particularly suitable for brands looking to balance luxury appearance, commercial wearability, and broader seasonal use.
For buyers reviewing comparable styles, our custom cashmere pullovers page provides an overview of our knitwear scope, including classic and contemporary silhouettes in cashmere, merino wool, silk blends, and other natural fibers.
In premium knitwear sourcing, gauge selection directly affects the way a garment looks, feels, fits, and performs in production.
16GG knitwear offers a fine and elegant appearance while still maintaining enough body for everyday premium knitwear. It is widely used for:
crewneck sweaters
V-neck pullovers
lightweight turtlenecks
cardigans
knit polos
fitted women’s knitwear
elevated basics for autumn, winter, and transitional seasons
For many brands, 16GG provides a practical balance between softness, shape, wearability, and price positioning.
18GG knitwear is often selected when a collection requires a lighter, smoother, and more sophisticated result. It is particularly suitable for:
refined lightweight sweaters
fine-gauge worsted wool styles
luxury layering pieces
elegant minimalist knitwear
business-casual knitwear
premium spring and trans-seasonal programs
Compared with lower gauges, 18GG usually requires more precise control over:
yarn quality and evenness
machine setting and knitting tension
garment measurements
recovery at neckline, cuff, and hem
wash performance and size consistency
overall bulk stability
This is why buyers sourcing 18GG styles often look beyond appearance alone and focus on whether a factory can deliver repeatable quality in bulk production, not just a good-looking sample.
This year, one of our main exhibition priorities is showing how fine-gauge natural-fiber knitwear can support more versatile and commercially relevant collections.
We continue to support brands developing premium cashmere knitwear with a focus on:
lightweight luxury
clean silhouettes
soft but stable handfeel
refined everyday styles
core programs for private label and brand collections
For premium buyers, fine-gauge cashmere is especially useful for building collections that go beyond heavy winter sweaters and move into layering, travel, and elevated essentials.
Worsted wool remains one of the most important directions for modern fine-gauge knitwear because it creates a smoother, cleaner, and more tailored look. In 16GG and 18GG constructions, worsted wool and wool-cashmere blends are well suited for:
contemporary menswear and womenswear
officewear and smart-casual assortments
polished luxury basics
longer-selling seasonal programs
premium uniform or retail capsule developments
For sourcing teams, this category is especially attractive when they need a balance of refinement, structure, and broader market applicability.
We are also highlighting velvet-feel blends and soft-touch luxury knitwear directions for brands looking for something more distinctive in handfeel and visual texture.
Depending on the yarn structure, finishing direction, and target product positioning, velvet-feel developments can offer:
softer surface touch
more fluid drape
richer visual depth
elevated luxury perception
a differentiated product story for fashion collections
For brands targeting quiet luxury, premium everyday dressing, or modern feminine knitwear, these developments can be especially valuable.
Luxury and premium knitwear are no longer limited to winter-only products. Buyers today are looking for materials and constructions that support:
longer selling seasons
lighter layering programs
travel-ready wardrobes
versatile premium essentials
more balanced material strategies
better collection depth without unnecessary complexity
This is exactly why 16GG and 18GG fine-gauge knitwear, worsted wool-cashmere, and velvet-feel blends are receiving more attention. They allow brands to create knitwear with a more refined appearance, wider wearing occasions, and stronger commercial relevance across different markets.

discuss target pricing and material options more efficiently
review OEM feasibility before starting sampling
