Knitwear Gauge Guide for Project Review
Gauge is a project decision that affects construction, yarn direction, handfeel, and garment appearance. Woolmark fibre information provides fibre context, but a specific gauge recommendation requires specialist confirmation and an approved sample.
YIDI can discuss a project gauge capability direction with the qualified partner production network. That range is not a promise that every yarn, structure, or style is suitable; feasibility is confirmed by project.
Decision Guide
| Input | Review question |
|---|---|
| Yarn direction | Does the selected yarn support the requested look? |
| Garment target | What weight impression and silhouette are required? |
| Sample | Do measurements and construction meet approval criteria? |
Sampling and Quality Checks
Confirm gauge, stitch appearance, measurements, colour, and agreed care process on the sample. Any specialist conclusion must be recorded in the project review, not inferred from a general guide.
Pair this review with structures and stitches and sample development.
FAQ
Which gauge should I choose?
Choose it after the yarn, design, construction, and sample are reviewed together.
Is project gauge a fixed production promise?
No. It is a project capability direction that needs confirmation by project.
