From yarn to knitwear

An understanding of yarn, woven into every collaboration.

Founded in 1990, Xinglin has developed from yarn into spinning, dyeing, trading and knitwear. We work with brands, designers and sourcing teams to move product development forward through material detail.

Begin a conversation with materials and samples.

A focus on yarn. A world of possibilities.

Material choices shape the colour, structure and expression of a knitted piece. Xinglin brings yarns, shade cards, swatches and garment development together, helping an idea become a sample you can hold. Explore our showroom and production spaces to see where these choices take shape.

Material care. At every stage.

Spinning, hank processing and package dyeing offer three views of yarn production. Explore process records and working footage to see how material, colour and yarn form come together.

Spinning. From fibre to yarn.

Xinglin’s process records include carding, drawing, spinning and automatic winding. These operations turn loose fibres into yarn for subsequent dyeing and knitting.

Hanks. A different yarn form.

Hank-processing records cover reeling, hank dyeing, drying and brushing. Yarn on hanging rods makes this form visible; the treatment depends on the material and product requirements.

Packages. Bringing colour to yarn.

Package-workshop records include soft winding, package dyeing, rewinding and storage. Yarn carriers and dyeing equipment show how packages are handled through dye preparation and finishing.

It comes back to the yarn.

Start with composition, yarn count and colour. Bring your design direction to the next sample conversation.
