Knitwear Program
Our Knitwear Program features a range of fully fashioned flat-knit garments from knit sweaters to knit beanies.
When creating knitwear via LabwearOS, you have a wide range of customization modules to create your fully custom piece of clothing.
This guide explains all customization modules.
Fit
Pre-engineered Fits
Our pre-engineered fits are based on the most commonly requested silhouettes from brands worldwide. Developed through extensive community feedback, these fits provide a strong foundation.
Custom Fit
If you need adjustments or a fully unique fit, our custom fit tool lets you input specific measurements, and we’ll develop a knit pattern. This may include the creation of custom panels, pockets, and cuts.
Yarn
Standard Yarns
We offer a selection of 3 high-quality yarns.
- 100% Cotton
- 30% Alpaca, 30% Nylon and 40% Acrylic
- 100% Merino
Other Compositions
At higher MOQs, we can source specific yarn compositions like wool and hemp from a large range of yarn providers.
Yarn Colour
For all yarns, please select colours from the colour cards:
Special note for Cotton:
When selecting a cotton yarn, you have two options: choose a color from the colorcard or opt for garment dyeing (vegetable dye). If you prefer vegetable dyeing, please provide a specific Pantone TCX code for the desired color.
Knitting Structure
Select from a range a range of knitting structures:
Jersey
single-knit with a smooth front and slightly textured back
Rib
alternating knit and purl stitches, highly elastic
Jacquard Interlock
double knit with smooth front and back (reversible), heavier weight
Vanisé Rib
two different yarns are used in plating, creating a contrast effect
Gauge
Gauge is the term used to describe the needle spacing and yarn dimensions.
It can be defined as the number of needles per unit inch. It is the major factor in determining the knit's density and appearance.
The larger the gauge, the finer the knit you will get.
Endings
The endings include the knit of the collar, cuffs, and hems. You can select from a range of pre-engineered styles.
Or you can request our development services to develop custom specifications for endings and knit patterns.
Embellishments
Jacquard
is a knitting method that creates textured patterns directly into the knit structure rather than being printed or embroidered. This technique allows for intricate, multi-dimensional designs with varying textures, colors, and raised or recessed areas.
Embroidery
is a stitching technique that decorates fabric by sewing thread directly onto the garment, creating textured, durable designs.
Patches
are made from laser cut pieces of fabric or pre-made embroideries that are sewn onto garments.
Labels
We offers 3 different label materials:
- Polyester
- Raw cotton canvas
- Woven label
You can choose how the labels should be applied:
- Inseam Loop (under neck-tape)
- On the back (stitched left and right)
You can also provide your own trims and send them us.
