Knitwear manufacturer in China

A sweater factory that works like your development team.

Knitwear World is the brand of Jiaxing DingSheng Fashion Co., Ltd., a knitwear manufacturer in Honghe Town, Jiaxing, one of China’s best-known sweater production centres. Since 2006 we have made custom sweaters, cardigans, knit sets and knit coats for fashion brands, retailers and online labels in Europe, North America, Australia, Asia, South America and the Middle East.

As an OEM and ODM sweater manufacturer, we work from your tech pack, a sketch or a single reference photo. You can also start from one of our styles and change the yarn, colour, fit and details. Private label programmes cover neck labels, hangtags, barcodes and retail-ready packing.

Everything is made in our own knitwear factory: 200 computerized flat knitting machines from 3GG to 16GG, with linking, washing, pressing, inspection and packing under one roof and a capacity of 2 million pieces a year. Minimums suit growing brands as well as established ones: 300 pcs per style, from 50 pcs per colour, with first samples normally in 3–5 days.

Our knitwear range

Built for real collections.

First samples are normally ready 3–5 days after the details are confirmed. Bulk production normally takes 30–40 days from approval of the pre-production sample and colours.

Can you make sweaters under our own brand?

Yes. We make private label knitwear with your neck labels, care and size labels, hangtags, barcodes and packaging.

How can we check your factory before ordering?

Book a live video tour one to two days ahead, or visit us by appointment. Our factory has an amfori BSCI audit conducted by TÜV Rheinland (2026), and third-party inspection by SGS, QIMA or your own agency is welcome.
