Your Color, Your Yarn — Precisely Engineered for Knit Production

Custom yarn colors matched to Pantone or physical references, controlled from lab dip to bulk knitting.

  • Pantone / TPX / TCX / physical swatch matching

  • Stock-dyed & custom-dyed yarn options

  • Lab dip approval before bulk production

  • Color consistency across sizes & batches

Why Color Customization Matters in Knitwear

Color Control Is Not Just Dyeing — It’s a Production System

  • Yarn absorbs dye differently by fiber type (cotton, wool, viscose, nylon, blends)

  • Knit structures affect visual color depth

  • Bulk dyeing vs garment dyeing differences

  • Color deviation risk across lots

  • Same Pantone ≠ same result on different yarns

  • Lab dips prevent bulk-production color risk

  • Yarn dyeing ensures better repeatability than piece dyeing for most knitwear

What We Can Customize

Customizable Color & Yarn Options

  • Pantone TPX / TCX matching

  • Buyer-provided physical swatch

  • Seasonal color development

  • Multi-color programs for collections

  • Cotton, wool, merino, viscose, acrylic, nylon, blends

  • Different yarn counts & ply

  • Stock yarn re-dye or fresh dye lot

  • Melange / marl / heather effects (where feasible)

MOQ & Cost Considerations

Minimums, Lead Time & Cost Factors

  • MOQ depends on yarn type & color method

  • Custom-dyed yarn has higher MOQ than stock colors

  • Lab dips add time but reduce production risk

  • Lead time typically increases by 7–14 days for custom colors

Can you match colors exactly to Pantone?

We match colors based on Pantone references (TPX / TCX), but final appearance depends on yarn fiber, yarn count, and knit structure. A lab dip is always recommended to confirm the visual result before bulk production.

Can the same color be used across different yarn types?

The same Pantone code can be applied to different yarns, but color depth and tone may vary due to fiber absorption differences. Each yarn type requires separate color development and approval.

What is a lab dip, and is it necessary?

A lab dip is a small yarn sample dyed to match your color reference. It allows visual approval and reduces bulk production risk. For custom colors or new yarns, lab dips are strongly recommended.

Will bulk production color match the approved lab dip?

Bulk dyeing is controlled to match the approved lab dip as closely as possible. Minor variations are considered normal in yarn-dyed knitwear, but we manage dye lots and QC to keep color within agreed tolerance.

What is the minimum order for custom colors?

Minimum order quantity depends on yarn type, dye method, and color complexity. Custom-dyed yarn generally requires a higher MOQ than stock colors. Please contact us with your yarn and quantity requirements for confirmation.
