Mills, swatches, lab dips and the wash test that tells the truth.
Knits for babywear live or die on hand-feel and shrinkage. We source against both, not just against a price.
We buy knitted fabric from mills in Henan and the surrounding textile belt, and we hold stock fabric in the four families the range is built on: French terry, pointelle and jacquard, interlock, and bamboo viscose jersey.
For custom orders we source to your specification. For buyers without a specification we propose options by hand-feel, weight and behaviour rather than by price alone.
What we send for approval
- Fabric swatches in the proposed quality, at the proposed weight.
- Lab dips against your colour reference — a Pantone number, a physical swatch, or a colour from a previous order.
- The shrinkage and colour-fastness behaviour of the proposed quality, so the fit you approve is the fit you receive after the first wash.
The four fabric families
- French terry — loop-back and brushed, 220–320 gsm. Sweatshirts, hoodies, joggers, bubble rompers.
- Pointelle and jacquard — fine-gauge eyelet knits, 150–190 gsm. Bodysuits, pants, knot hats, blankets.
- Interlock — two smooth faces, 180–240 gsm. Bodysuits, sleepers, bibs, pants.
- Bamboo viscose jersey — fluid and cool, 170–200 gsm. Dresses, rompers, warm-weather sets.

Fabric Sourcing — what buyers ask
Can you match a colour from a photograph?
We can get close, but a screen is not a colour reference. Send a physical swatch or a Pantone number and we will lab-dip against it. Photograph-based matching always ends in a conversation about whether the bulk is 'the same' as the photo.
Do you offer certified organic or recycled fabric?
We can source GOTS-scoped and recycled-content qualities, and we will show you the mill's own certificate for the quality being quoted, including its expiry date. See the certifications page for how we handle document validity.
