When enquiring with DALANG SMART KNITTING, plan custom production of at least 60 pieces per style in total. Colour allocation is reviewed separately. Different styles cannot be combined to meet this floor; yarn, construction or size requirements may require a higher quantity.

Finding a supplier website is easy. Working out whether that supplier can develop your sweater, accept your order structure and reproduce the approved garment takes more work.
This shortlist covers five businesses whose own websites describe sweater or knitwear production in China. It gives fashion buyers a starting point for enquiries, with a different question to resolve for each supplier.
Publisher disclosure: This guide is published by DALANG SMART KNITTING and includes our business. Our entry appears first for clarity; the order is not an independent quality ranking. The profiles are based on public supplier websites checked on 22 October 2026, rather than factory audits or comparative sample testing.
The shortlist at a glance
| Supplier | Publicly described focus | What to establish in your enquiry |
|---|---|---|
| DALANG SMART KNITTING | Women's knitwear development and small-batch project planning | Whether the proposed yarn, construction and colour-size split form a workable first order |
| CN Sweaters / Dongguan Cainan Clothing | OEM and ODM knitwear, including sweaters, cardigans and knit dresses | Relevant style experience and the exact sample-to-bulk specification |
| SY Knitwear | Sweater manufacturing and a small-order response model | Whether its proposed minimum and production plan fit your particular design |
| Xinda Wool Wear | OEM and ODM knitwear with several product categories | Which production route is suitable for your sweater rather than the wider catalogue |
| Dongguan Xinhe Apparel | Knitwear design, development and manufacturing | The technical review, sample scope and delivery assumptions for your brief |
These are enquiry questions, not reported weaknesses. A public profile cannot establish a supplier's current capacity or your project's commercial terms.
1. DALANG SMART KNITTING
Our published development route covers sweaters, cardigans, knit tops and knit dresses. A project can start with reference images, a sample garment or a tech pack, followed by a review of yarn, construction, colours and sizes. The small-batch guide explains that final quantity, quotation and timing depend on the brief. See our development guide.
When to enquire: You have a women's knitwear concept and need to establish a practical development route before placing a first production order.
What to confirm: Ask for the proposed material, development deliverables and minimum quantity for your exact colour-size split. A low total quantity is useful only when it works for the intended garment.
2. CN Sweaters / Dongguan Cainan Clothing
CN Sweaters identifies its business as Dongguan Cainan Clothing Co., Ltd., based in Dalang, Dongguan. Its website presents OEM and ODM knitwear services alongside sweaters, cardigans, knit dresses and sleeveless styles. These categories make it a relevant business to investigate for a sweater-led collection. Read the supplier's own profile.
When to enquire: You want to discuss a collection containing several knitted garment categories.
What to confirm: Request examples with comparable construction, and ask what the sample fee includes. Establish how the approved yarn, measurements, garment weight and finishing will be recorded for bulk production. A broad product catalogue does not by itself confirm suitability for a specific design.
3. SY Knitwear
SY Knitwear's company page describes a sweater manufacturing business with experience in yarn application, knitting techniques and production management. It also promotes a small-order response model. Those are the supplier's statements about its offer, rather than an independently verified service commitment. Read SY Knitwear's company page.
When to enquire: A supplier's willingness to discuss a smaller production run is an important part of your search.
What to confirm: Provide the style, quantity per colour and sizes before asking for the minimum. Request a written plan covering material availability, sampling and bulk production. The phrase “small order” needs a project-specific number and scope before you can compare it with another quote.
4. Xinda Wool Wear
Xinda's website places its factory in Shantou, Guangdong, and describes OEM and ODM knitwear work. Its product categories span women's, men's, children's and pet knitwear, while its production presentation includes knitting, linking and finishing. View Xinda's official website.
When to enquire: You want to explore a sweater supplier whose advertised product range extends beyond women's styles.
What to confirm: Ask which comparable products it can show for your project and how it proposes to make them. Discuss the actual fibre blend, stitch structure, fit and finish. A category name such as “wool wear” should not replace a written material specification for the item you intend to buy.
5. Dongguan Xinhe Apparel
Xinhe's English website identifies a business in Dalang, Dongguan, offering knitwear design, development and manufacturing. Its listed categories include sweaters, cardigans, knit dresses, vests, polos and knitted sets. The site invites buyers to send drawings, quantities, target markets and material requirements for assessment. View Xinhe's English website.
When to enquire: You have a defined product direction and want a supplier to assess the development work involved.
What to confirm: Send the same brief you send to other candidates. Ask which details remain unresolved, what will be delivered at the sample stage and which approvals the production schedule depends on. Compare the resulting proposals on aligned assumptions.
How to turn five names into a useful supplier comparison
Choose two or three candidates whose advertised offer matches your project, then send an identical brief. Include front and back references, the intended fibre or handfeel, key measurements, quantity by colour and size, and the desired shipment window.
Record four things from each reply:
- Technical proposal: What material and construction is the supplier actually quoting?
- Development scope: Are swatches, garment samples, revisions and delivery included or separate?
- Commercial basis: What quantity split and delivery scope does the quoted price cover?
- Approval route: What must you approve before yarn purchasing, bulk production and shipment?
Keep unanswered points visible. Do not treat a blank field as an included service, or a website claim as evidence that your own sample will meet its requirements.
