Knit Structures and Stitches for Development
Knit structures and stitches should be selected against the intended silhouette, surface, yarn direction, and sample result. Woolmark fibre information offers fibre context, while specialist confirmation is required for a particular structure and finished garment.
Use the brief to identify the visual reference, placement, texture, stretch expectation, edge treatment, and target garment category. A construction name alone does not complete the technical specification.
Decision Guide
| Topic | Review action |
|---|---|
| Stitch structure | Compare the requested surface against a sample. |
| Placement | Mark the reference and approval points. |
| Gauge | Review the project gauge direction for the project. |
Sampling and Quality Checks
Approve the construction appearance, measurements, colour, and agreed care process on the sample. Record specialist feedback, limitations, and buyer decisions before bulk planning.
Use gauge planning and colour and finishing to complete the review.
FAQ
Can any stitch be used with any yarn?
No. The combination requires project-specific specialist review and sampling.
What is the approval record?
The project file should capture the sample, construction notes, measurements, and acceptance criteria.
