Puyuan vs Dalang vs Qinghe: Choosing the Right Knitwear Cluster
Three clusters, three strengths. A practical comparison to help buyers decide where their program fits best.
By Puyuan Fashions Editorial
Puyuan: scale and vertical integration
Puyuan, Zhejiang, is China's largest woolen knitwear cluster: roughly 7 in 10 woolen sweaters made in China come from here, with around 20 specialised markets and a complete yarn-to-garment chain in one town. It suits buyers who want density of options, fast sampling and flexible MOQs from 100 to 1,000 pieces.
Dalang: trend speed in the south
Dalang, Dongguan, is South China's knitting powerhouse. If your program chases fast-moving trends — knit dresses, two-piece sets, short batches — Dalang mills are built for quick turnaround and youthful design talent.
Qinghe: the cashmere heartland
Qinghe, Hebei, is China's largest cashmere processing and trading base. Premium programmes that start from fibre — scarves, shawls, fine cashmere garments — belong here.
