What is fashion sweater knit fabric?
Fashion sweater knit fabric is a soft, lofty knit produced on circular or flat knitting machines to mimic hand-knit texture — used for cardigans, pullovers and premium loungewear. Fursone’s runs 220–450 GSM at 148–150 cm wide in acrylic/nylon/viscose/wool blends.
We sell it by the roll for cut-and-sew (faster and more flexible than fully fashioning each piece), and pre-shrink every batch during finishing to hold shrinkage within ≤±3% (ISO 6330).
Every roll passes our 4-stage QC with TDS and test reports; DDP shipping to USA, Europe and Asia. Want chunkier texture? See our cable knit fabric or performance knit fabric.

Loose knits have some shrinkage potential, but Fursone pre-shrinks every batch during finishing to hold dimensional change within ≤±3% (tested per ISO 6330). Each roll ships with a TDS and test report, and re-orders match within 95%+ consistency, so your cut-and-sew patterns stay stable across production.
