Frequently asked questions

What MOQs apply to fine-gauge knitwear from Turkey?

Of the 17 listed suppliers with a published MOQ, 3 accept 50 units or fewer, 8 accept 51–200, 4 accept 201–500, 1 sets 501–1,000 and 1 requires over 1,000. Fine-gauge minimums typically depend on yarn, as specialty yarns often carry their own mill minimums.

Which certifications are common among Turkish fine-gauge knit suppliers?

GOTS (17 suppliers), Sedex (SMETA) (16), GRS (14), RCS (13), amfori BSCI (10) and OCS (10) are the most common. For wool programs, ask whether the factory can supply RWS or Woolmark documentation for your yarn.

How do I confirm a factory can knit true fine gauge?

Ask which machine gauges the factory runs in-house and request knitted swatches or samples in your yarn. 63% of the 54 listed suppliers have independent evidence on file, and 45 are based in Istanbul.
