1. Products

1.1 Categories

1.1.1 Five-Finger Knit Gloves

Each finger is individually encased, offering better flexibility and operability, allowing you to easily perform various tasks such as using your phone or picking up items without removing the gloves. Suitable for a variety of everyday activities, including walking, running, shopping, and working. They provide warmth and protection while maintaining the normal function of the hands.

1.1.2 Mittens

Fingers are connected, forming a common sleeve which reduces heat loss between fingers and provides more effective warmth. Typically thicker, made from warmer materials such as wool or fleece, they are ideal for extremely cold winter activities like skiing, mountain climbing, and playing in the snow.

1.2 Weight

The choice of yarn weight depends on the intended use of the gloves, the season, and the climatic conditions.

1.2.1 Lightweight

Usually refers to gloves made from yarn weighing less than 100 grams per square meter. These gloves are suitable for spring and fall, providing moderate warmth and comfort. They are light and soft, ideal for everyday activities.

1.2.2 Mediumweight

Gloves made from yarn weighing between 100 to 200 grams per square meter fall into the mediumweight category. These gloves are suitable for wearing in the fall and winter, offering better warmth. They are ideal for outdoor activities and walking in slightly cold weather.

1.2.3 Heavyweight

Gloves made from yarn weighing over 200 grams per square meter are considered heavyweight. These gloves are designed for severe winter conditions, providing superior warmth. They are usually thicker, capable of resisting extremely low temperatures and cold winds.

1.3 Materials

1.3.1 Wool

Wool is a commonly used high-quality material for knitting gloves. It provides excellent warmth and a soft touch, suitable for cold seasons. Wool gloves generally keep hands dry and warm effectively.

1.3.2 Wool Blend

Wool blended yarn is usually mixed with other fibers like silk, acrylic, or nylon. This blend increases the durability, comfort, and elasticity of the gloves, making them more suitable for everyday wear.

1.3.3 Cashmere

Cashmere is a premium fiber known for its outstanding warmth and softness. Cashmere gloves are ideal for harsh winters, effectively keeping hands warm and comfortable.

1.3.4 Cotton

Cotton gloves are suitable for mild weather conditions, offering breathability and comfort. They are typically worn in spring and fall, providing a light feel and good moisture absorption.

1.3.5 Acrylic

Acrylic yarn is known for its elasticity and durability, suitable for making sports gloves or everyday wear. They generally offer good warmth and comfort.

1.4 Gauge

Generally, the higher the gauge of the glove, the more detailed and soft it is, but it also becomes thinner.

1.4.1 40 to 60 Gauge

These gloves are usually used in spring or fall, being lighter and suitable for slightly cool weather. They are more breathable and not too thick due to their lower gauge.

1.4.2 60 to 80 Gauge

These gloves are suitable for the transition from autumn to winter. They are warmer but not too thick, appropriate for slightly cold weather.

1.4.3 80 to 100 Gauge

These gloves are usually used in winter as they provide more warmth. Despite being finer, they still offer sufficient warmth for cold weather wear.

1.4.4 100+ Gauge

These gloves are very detailed, suitable for cold winters or when high flexibility is required. They might not be very thick but provide excellent warmth and comfort.

2. Manufacturing

2.1 Sampling

Initially, based on customer needs and design specifications, samples are created. This typically involves collaborating with the design team to select appropriate yarns, colors, and styles, and producing a sample for customer approval.

2.2 Knitting

Once the sample is approved, production begins. Knitting is the process of interlooping yarns to form fabric. Depending on the glove style and design, flat knitting machines, circular knitting machines, or computer-controlled knitting machines may be used.

2.2.1 Flat Knitting Machines

Flat knitting machines are one of the most commonly used machines for manufacturing gloves. They produce flat knit fabrics, including various styles of gloves, using horizontal needle beds and carriages. Flat knitting machines are typically used for producing common styles such as five-finger gloves and mittens.

2.2.2 Circular Knitting Machines

Circular knitting machines are another common type of knitting machine, creating tubular knit fabrics, such as mittens. They are suitable for producing mittens as they can complete the entire glove in one go, enhancing production efficiency.

2.3 Cutting

The knitted fabric is sent to the cutting room where it is cut into glove shapes and sizes using templates. Attention is needed to maintain accuracy in size and efficient use of material.

2.4 Stitching

The cut pieces are sent to the sewing room, where they are stitched together to form the basic structure of the glove. This includes sewing the hand and finger parts, as well as adding any decorative stitching or labels.

2.5 Washing

After stitching, the gloves are sent to the washing area to be cleaned and remove any dirt and residues from the manufacturing process. This can be done using washing machines and specialized detergents.

2.6 Shaping

After washing, the gloves are sent to the drying area and are dried in dryers to ensure they are completely dry. This prevents bacterial growth and glove deformation. After drying, the gloves are sent to the shaping area, where they are shaped using a shaping machine. This helps the gloves maintain their shape and size and ensures their comfort and quality.

2.7 Inspection

After shaping, the gloves undergo a rigorous quality inspection. Inspectors use inspection equipment to check the quality and integrity of the gloves, ensuring the products meet standards and requirements. This can include visual inspections, manual checks, or using specialized inspection devices.

2.7.1 Visual Inspection

Inspect the appearance of the gloves, including color, pattern, stitching, labels, etc., to ensure they are consistent with the samples or customer requirements and are free from obvious defects.

2.7.2 Size Inspection

Measure the dimensions of the gloves, including length, width, and the size of the hands and fingers, to ensure they meet customer specifications and standard sizing.

2.7.3 Knit Density

Check the knit density of the gloves to ensure the fabric’s density is uniform and there are no areas that are too loose or tight.

2.7.4 Stitch Quality

Inspect the stitch quality of the gloves, including the firmness, straightness, and neatness of the seams, ensuring there are no loose threads or stitch marks.

2.7.5 Feel and Comfort

By actually wearing the gloves, check the feel and comfort, ensuring the gloves’ softness, fit, and comfort meet the requirements.

2.7.6 Elasticity and Resilience

Stretch the gloves and observe their elasticity and resilience, ensuring the gloves can return to their original shape and maintain good elasticity.

2.7.7 Durability

Test the durability of the gloves, including resistance to stretching, abrasion, and deformation, ensuring the gloves maintain good quality even after prolonged use.

2.7.8 Wash Test

Perform wash tests to check if the gloves experience color fading, shrinkage, or deformation during cleaning.

2.7.9 Temperature Test

Conduct temperature tests to check the gloves’ thermal performance at different temperatures, ensuring they provide good warmth in varying climatic conditions.

2.8 Packaging

Qualified gloves are finally packaged using packaging equipment. This can include adding labels, sealing bags, boxing, and eventually packaging the gloves into their final sale packaging.

3. Problem and Solution

3.1 Inaccurate Sizing

3.1.1 Problem

The dimensions of the gloves do not conform to specified sizes, and they may be too large or too small.

3.1.2 Solution

Regularly check and replace cutting machine blades to ensure accuracy. Additionally, enhance the quality inspection process to detect sizing issues early and adjust production as needed.

3.2 Loose Threads

3.2.1 Problem

Loose threads or falling threads are observed on the gloves.

3.2.2 Solution

Adjust the tension settings on sewing machines to ensure tight stitching. Further, increase the frequency of quality checks and apply additional securing measures to the threads.

3.3 Color Variation

3.3.1 Problem

The color of the gloves does not match the color of the samples or customer requirements.

3.3.2 Solution

Regularly calibrate dyeing machines to ensure color accuracy during the dyeing process. Also, maintain strict control over the quality of the yarn to prevent color variation between batches.
