I have a small sweater line I’m looking at doing in china right now but I have a long lasting fascination with the shima seki machines. If you were doing a short fashion run would TI be appropriate? How does one get their preferred yarn over to someone like TI?
replyThey definitely are a powerful option for smaller scale runs. Very much optimized to have the unit economics and turnaround time work for smaller brands.
replyI don't really know the answer around supplying your own yarn. I'd assume that's the abnormal case, but just a guess.
TI says that they offer custom yarn at their "Flagship" level, with a $20k upfront cost. Not sure how that compares to setting up production overseas.
