Frequently asked questions

What MOQ do Turkish sweater factories ask for?

Among listed suppliers publishing an MOQ, 26 sit between 51 and 200 units, 20 at 50 units or fewer and 9 between 201 and 500. Flat-knit MOQs are typically set per style and per color because yarn is dyed to order, so expect 100 to 300 pieces per style and ask about yarn minimums before quoting.

How long do sweater lead times run?

Published lead times on this list reach 60 to 120 days for a knitwear specialist, and typically allow 60 to 90 days after sample approval for autumn and winter programs because yarn must be sourced and dyed before knitting, linking and washing. Book autumn deliveries by spring and confirm the yarn source early.

Which certifications matter for sweaters?

GOTS with 49 holders, Sedex (SMETA) with 43, RCS with 35, OCS and GRS with 34 each and ISO 9001 with 31 are the most common. For wool programs, Responsible Wool Standard appears on one listed profile; for organic or recycled yarn claims, request the transaction certificate for your order.

Method: entries are the top-scoring published profiles for this category and country in SupplySpark's database when the list was last updated; ranking cannot be bought. Facts come from each supplier's public profile and evidence on file; confirm MOQs, lead times and certifications directly with the factory before ordering.
