Fine Cable Hoodie Description
The Lightweight Cable Knit Hoodie (12G) is crafted for brands seeking a refined, breathable, and visually elegant cable knit option for women’s categories. Using fine-gauge 12G machinery, the cable motifs appear slimmer and more delicate than traditional 7G or 5G constructions. This gauge balance makes the hoodie ideal for spring, pre-fall, resort, and transitional climates where a soft, fluid drape is preferred. The combination of reduced yarn volume and evenly controlled stitch density provides a sophisticated silhouette without compromising durability.
During production, each panel undergoes precise stitch calibration to maintain pattern alignment from body to sleeves. The hood design is stabilized using a narrow rib frame, reducing rolling edges and supporting long-term shape retention. Brands seeking women’s cable knit hoodies benefit from the improved garment flow, lighter weight, and smoother hand feel characteristic of 12G constructions. Yarn options such as modal blends, combed cotton, and merino-silk mixtures further enhance softness and breathability.
To support scalable OEM programs, we integrate yarn conditioning, tension monitoring, and fine-gauge needle inspection into our workflow. This ensures consistent results across large-volume orders, making the hoodie suitable for private label, multi-season assortments, and elevated womenswear knitwear lines requiring detailed, lightweight cable expression.
