Quality Control

QC Process

Multi-stage inspection. AQL Level II sampling, major defects judged at AQL 2.5. Zero compromise on what reaches your customers.

Linking on the production floor

Sleeve and collar linking — precision assembly before washing and final inspection.

Linking on the production floor
01

Raw Material Inspection

Yarn fineness, count, and consistency verified at source before entering production.

02

Knitting Monitoring

Continuous oversight during knitting to maintain gauge and tension consistency.

03

Finishing Inspection

Color fastness, shrinkage, and hand-feel tested after washing and finishing.

04

Finished Product Sampling

AQL Level II random sampling; major defects judged at AQL 2.5 across size, color, and style variations.

05

Final Shipment Inspection

Packaging, labeling, and quantity verified before every shipment leaves our facility.

Lot rejected at inspection? Full batch rework — we pay

AQL Level II sampling, major defects at AQL 2.5. If the lot fails inspection, we rework the entire batch at our cost and do not ship until it passes. This is a lot-level rejection — not triggered by a few isolated defective units in an otherwise passing batch.

Verified defective units? 200% replenishment or refund

When a mutually confirmed report identifies specific defective units due to our production or materials: continuing partners receive 200% of those units on the next order; one-time orders receive a refund for the defective quantity only.

Certifications

Internationally recognized standards that underpin every partnership we build.

Tested

Intertek Test Report

Independent chemical-safety test report (Intertek) available on request.

Certified

Responsible Wool Standard (RWS)

Sourced via an RWS-certified yarn partner; transaction certificate (TC) available on request.

Frequently asked

What AQL standard do you apply?

We apply AQL Level II sampling on every production batch, with major defects judged at AQL 2.5. Critical, major, and minor defects are classified separately, and results are available on request.

What happens if a lot fails inspection?

If AQL Level II sampling rejects the lot (major defects exceed AQL 2.5), we rework the entire batch at our cost and do not ship until it passes. This is a batch-level decision — a few defective units in an otherwise passing lot does not trigger a full-batch rework.

What about individual defective units?

When a mutually confirmed report identifies specific defective units due to our production or materials, continuing partners receive 200% of those units on the next order. One-time orders receive a refund for the defective quantity only.

Which certifications can you provide?

We can supply independent third-party test reports (Intertek) and RWS documentation via our certified yarn partner, with additional certifications available on request.
