KNITWEAR SOURCING GUIDE · FIBER COMPARISON SERIES Which is better — cashmere or wool? Neither fiber wins outright — each wins in a different product role. Cashmere is roughly up to 3× warmer per gram than standard wool, featherlight, and virtually itch-free thanks...
Build your capsule around five core silhouettes — the classic V-neck, shawl-collar, longline coatigan, fine-gauge knitted jacket and cable knit — then add one trend piece (cropped or oversized brushed) for freshness. Stock each style in 2–4 core colors (camel, oatmeal, grey, navy), order 100 pcs per style/color from a custom manufacturer, and refresh silhouettes seasonally rather than colors.
Send your design (a sketch, reference photos or a tech pack) to a cashmere manufacturer, confirm yarn, gauge and color, approve a sample, then place a production order. At Ewsca, custom cashmere sweaters start from 100 pieces per style/color, sampling takes 7–14 days, and bulk production runs ~2 weeks — with everything from yarn to packaging customizable.
