Blended Yarn for Knitwear Development
Project gauge direction: 3GG-16GG, subject to selected yarn, construction, and sample approval.
Yarn blends are available to source or develop based on project requirements. Woolmark fibre information can inform a wool blend discussion, while the selected composition and finished garment behaviour must be reviewed through a project sample.
Use a blend brief to identify the priority between handfeel, appearance, shape, care, price position, and documentation. Do not treat a generic blend name as a full production specification.
Decision Guide
| Priority | Project action |
|---|---|
| Handfeel | Compare blend directions with a sample. |
| Composition | Record the confirmed selected yarn. |
| Gauge | Review a project gauge direction for the design. |
Development and Documentation
Review the blend sample for agreed touch, construction, dimensions, colour, and care process. Any material or certification wording must be checked against the selected yarn, supplier, and individual project.
See wool and merino and cotton for starting directions.
FAQ
Which blend is best?
The suitable blend is project-specific and should be confirmed by the approved sample.
