Design scheme

In the process of planning and preparing sweater sample development, the first thing to consider is the choice of style. The style should be in line with the needs and trends of the target market. You can consider designing a variety of different styles, such as simple fashion, retro classics, personality trends, etc., to meet the preferences of different consumers. The choice of yarn is also crucial, and high-quality yarn should be selected to ensure the texture and comfort of the sweater. In terms of color, you can choose the appropriate color according to the season, trend and the preferences of the target market, and you can also consider introducing some classic colors and fashion elements. Jewelry is one of the key factors to enhance the sweater design, you can consider adding some characteristic jewelry, such as beads, beads, embroidery, etc., to increase the visual appeal and uniqueness of the sweater.

In the development of sweater samples, pattern design is a crucial part. You can design a variety of different patterns, such as plaid, stripes, prints, etc., and you can also try some innovative pattern designs, such as three-dimensional flowers, geometric patterns, etc., to attract consumers’ attention. In terms of craftsmanship, attention should be paid to details and quality to ensure that the sweater is fine and comfortable to wear. At the same time, price is also one of the important factors to consider. The price should be reasonably priced according to the sweater style, yarn quality, technology level, market demand and other factors, which can ensure the quality and profit margin of the product, and can attract the purchase desire of target consumers.

Confirm the design drawing

Designers in the sweater series development process, the first to start making design drawings. This process is the first and crucial step in the overall product development. Drawing is not only a blueprint for design, but also a guide for subsequent production. Designers need to translate their ideas into designs that can actually be made, so the accuracy and completeness of the design drawings are crucial.

In the production of design drawings, designers need to fully consider the sweater style, size, yarn selection, jewelry collocation and other factors. First, the designer will draw an initial sketch or artwork based on their design concept and style. These sketches may contain preliminary ideas of the overall outline of the design, graphic details, color matching, and so on. The designer then discusses the feasibility and practicality of these new designs with the team. During the discussion, there may be some areas that need to be modified or adjusted, such as slight changes in style, choice of yarn, etc. The designer will modify the design accordingly based on the team’s suggestions and feedback to ensure that the final design solution can meet the market needs and brand positioning.

In addition to style and design details, the design drawings also contain detailed information about yarn, knitting, stitch count, workmanship, and more. These technical details are crucial to the production of the product. The choice of yarn directly affects the texture and feel of the sweater, while the number of knitting and stitches determines the thickness and density of the sweater. Designers need to carefully consider these factors and clearly record them in the design drawings so that the subsequent production and production process can be orderly.

Eventually, the designer will organize all the design details and technical requirements into a technical package. The technical package is an important document in the production process, containing detailed descriptions of style, size, yarn, knitting, stitch count, process and other information. The creation of a technical package requires the designer to know every detail of the product and be able to clearly communicate it to the production team to ensure that the final product is a perfect representation of the designer’s creativity and ideas.

Make samples

Making samples is a crucial step in the development of high-end cashmere products. In the process of making samples, the designer needs to work closely with the factory to ensure that the final product will meet the design concept and meet the expected quality standards.

First, all technical packages and relevant information are provided to the factory and samples are prepared for production. This step involves handing over detailed information such as design drawings, material selection and process requirements to the factory to ensure that the design requirements and technical specifications of the product are clearly understood by the factory. The designer needs to communicate with the factory and ensure that both parties have a clear understanding of the design concept of the product.

Secondly, the factory needs to make knitting samples to check the tension, knitting and feel to ensure that the actual effect is in line with the design concept. At this stage, the factory will make a sample based on the design drawings and technical packages, and then the designer will evaluate and adjust the sample. Designers need to carefully examine every detail of the sample, including the density of the knitting, the comfort of the hand, and the color and pattern that matches the design. If any place is found that does not meet the design concept, the designer needs to strengthen communication with the factory to solve the problem together to ensure that the final product can achieve the desired effect.

In the process of communication with the factory, any problems need to be raised and resolved. The concept of design theory must be referred to in the actual processing. Communicate with sales and technical staff and adjust details to achieve desired results. This step requires close cooperation between the designer and the factory to solve various problems encountered in the production process and adjust the design scheme according to the actual situation. At the same time, designers also need to communicate with sales and technical personnel to understand the market demand and technical requirements to ensure that the product can meet the needs of the market.

Finally, the factory always records all the information of the sample, such as size, weight, time of each process, cost, and problems during the processing of the knitted sample. This information is very important for subsequent production and quality control. Designers and factories need to jointly record a variety of data in the process of sample production, and conduct a comprehensive evaluation and analysis of the sample in order to continuously improve the design and production process of the product, and improve the quality and competitiveness of the product.

To sum up, making samples is an indispensable step in the development process of high-end cashmere products. Designers need to work closely with the factory to ensure that the product can achieve the desired effect, and constantly improve and optimize the design and production process of the product to meet the needs of the market and consumer expectations.
