Manufacturing Excellence: The Science of Air Wool
Water-Soluble Engineering: Knitting an ultra-thin, sheer wool sweater on a 16GG machine is prone to yarn breakage. By blending the delicate wool with strong PVA fibers, we ensure flawless, high-tension machine knitting.
The "Air" Finish: During the final eco-friendly washing stage, the PVA fibers safely dissolve in the water. This leaves the wool fibers perfectly spaced out, creating thousands of microscopic "air pockets." This process guarantees a garment that is significantly lighter and more breathable than any standard wool sweater.
Ethical & Certified: As a BSCI, WRAP, and ISO9001 certified factory, we guarantee that all our washing and dyeing processes, including the PVA dissolution, are strictly environmentally compliant (OEKO-TEX 100) and sustainably managed .
Comprehensive OEM & ODM Services
We empower your brand with end-to-end manufacturing solutions . Whether you need to adjust the transparency level by tweaking the PVA ratio, or require specialized OEKO-certified brand tags and retail-ready packaging, our experienced technicians manage every detail from sketch to final shipment .
B2B Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Since the sweater is half-transparent and very thin, is it fragile?
A: Despite its featherweight appearance, the 16-gauge interlocking knit structure provides excellent tensile strength. The superfine wool fibers are tightly bound, making the garment highly durable for daily wear.
Q2: Can we customize the level of transparency?
A: Yes. By adjusting the ratio of the water-soluble PVA yarn to the wool yarn in your tech-pack, we can control exactly how sheer or opaque the final garment becomes after washing.
Q3: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
A: We support brand innovation with a flexible MOQ of 100 pieces per style/colorway .
Q4: How long does sample production take for this specialized technique?
A: Because the finishing and dissolving process requires precise calibration, custom Air Wool sampling typically takes 1 to 2 weeks .
