Trusted Knitwear Manufacturing for Growing Brands
MakeMine is a knitwear manufacturer and supplier for growing, founder-led brands. We manage production of sweaters, cardigans, knit polos, dresses, and accessories through personally vetted factories in China, Peru, and Vietnam, with minimums starting at 100 units per color and sample lead times of 14 to 20 days. Last year we managed over $3.3M in production across roughly 40 brands. One point of contact runs your program from yarn sourcing through delivery. No sourcing agents, no markups, no midnight WhatsApp threads.
A Knitwear Production Partner, Not a Directory
Marketplaces hand you a factory list and wish you luck. MakeMine runs your production: we source yarn, manage sampling, negotiate pricing, schedule inspections, and track freight through delivery. Because we represent multiple brands at each factory, we negotiate minimums and hold priority slots on the production line. Those are terms a single brand can’t get alone.
If your current factory or sourcing agent can’t keep up with your growth, this is the model that replaces them.
A Personally Vetted Network of Knitwear Suppliers
Sourcing quality knitwear shouldn’t involve guesswork. Every factory in our network is personally visited, vetted, and proven across repeat production runs. Many of our partners have passed independent inspections by third parties like QIMA, so your knitwear meets professional standards season after season.
What We Make
Our knitwear factories produce fully fashioned and cut-and-sew knits across gauges from chunky 3gg statement pieces to fine 12gg layering knits. Common programs include:
- Crewneck, V-neck, and quarter-zip sweaters
- Cardigans and sweater vests
- Knit polos
- Knit dresses and matching sets
- Beanies, scarves, and knit accessories
Intarsia, jacquard, cable, and pointelle work are all available. If it starts as yarn, we can build it.
Premium Yarns & Custom Development
We offer a broad selection of stock and custom yarns to bring your designs to life:
- Luxury fibers: Merino wool, Peruvian alpaca, pima cotton, cashmere blends
- Sustainable yarns: Organic cotton, recycled poly, eco-viscose
- Performance knits: Stretch, moisture-wicking, wrinkle-resistant
- Custom-dyed yarns matched to your color palette
Need something specific? We source and develop custom yarns and stitch techniques as part of your program. This is custom knitwear manufacturing built around your tech pack, not a template library.
One Managed Program Across Three Countries
Our knitwear factories are located in China, Peru, and Vietnam, and we run all three under one program with one point of contact.
China offers the broadest capability set, fastest sampling, and our lowest minimums at 100 units per color. Peru produces Peruvian alpaca and pima cotton knits from 300 units per color, for brands building a premium natural-fiber story. Vietnam handles larger-volume programs with competitive duty exposure for scaling styles.
No other managed production partner offers multi-country knitwear programs under a single manager. You get factory-level pricing with portfolio-level flexibility.
Minimums Built for Testing and Scaling
Our minimum order quantities start at 100 units per style per color in China. That’s not just a starter perk. Established brands use low minimums to test new silhouettes, run seasonal colorways, and add knitwear as a category without tying up cash in inventory, then scale winning styles into full production at the same factory. No supplier switching as you grow.
Clear Communication & Managed Production
We take the chaos out of international manufacturing. Our platform centralizes communication, tracks production timelines, and flags issues before they become problems. Whether you’re developing a capsule collection or managing a dozen styles across two factories, you have full visibility from development through delivery, and one person accountable for all of it.
Consistent Quality, Every Run
We don’t leave quality to chance. Every program includes fit sampling, pre-production approvals, and inspections against your approved samples. Production is matched to golden samples so run three looks like run one.
