Sweaters & pullovers
Produksee manufactures knit sweaters and pullovers in Indonesia, from fitted crewnecks to oversized drop-shoulder silhouettes. Production covers fine and mid gauge knitting, fully fashioned shaping, and rib finishing at neck, cuff and hem, for export and domestic fashion brands.
The problem
An oversized sweater is not a fitted sweater cut larger. The drop shoulder moves the balance point off the shoulder seam, so the whole garment hangs from the neckline instead — and if the neck rib is knitted at the wrong tension, the body pulls the collar out of shape within a season.
Construction
What we control on a pullover
Neck rib recovery
The neckline carries the weight of an oversized body. Rib tension and bind-off elasticity are set against the finished garment weight, not against a swatch.
Shoulder drop and balance
Where the shoulder seam falls decides how the sleeve reads. We sample the drop on a body before committing the grading.
Fully fashioned shaping
Decreases worked into the knitting rather than cut into the panel. The stitch line follows the seam, which is the visible mark of a properly made knit.
Pilling and handfeel
Fibre blend and twist decide whether a soft handfeel survives washing. We tell you when a yarn that feels right in the showroom will fail in the wardrobe.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Can you produce both fitted and oversized fits in one programme?
Yes, though they are effectively two blocks. Grading an oversized silhouette from a fitted block is where most fit problems originate — we sample each separately.
Which yarns do you recommend for a lightweight pullover?
It depends on the market and the season the garment ships into. Send the price point and the destination market and we come back with two or three blends rather than a catalogue.
How do you handle shrinkage?
Every knitted fabric relaxes. We block and measure after washing, and grade to the post-wash measurement, so the garment your customer receives matches the size chart rather than the pattern.
Frequently asked

Knit cardigans
A cardigan is judged at the button band. It carries the wearer's eye, it takes the most handling, and it is the first place a badly balanced knit shows itself — the band ripples, the fronts hang unevenly, and the garment looks cheap before anyone has read the label.
Knit vests
A vest is mostly edge. Take the sleeves off a knitted garment and the armhole, the neckline and the front band become almost the whole thing — which is why a vest exposes bad finishing faster than any other knit in a range.
Knit polos
A knit polo is where the factory's collar work is on public display. Tipping, striping, and placket alignment all have to land within a millimetre of each other on a piece the wearer sees in the mirror every time they put it on.
Knit tops
Pointelle and open-stitch fabrics are the hardest thing in a knitwear range to keep consistent. The holes are deliberate, which means every irregularity reads as a fault rather than as texture — and blocking, not knitting, is where they are won or lost.
Knit skirts
A knitted skirt has one job that a knitted top never has: it must not grow. Gravity works on a vertical panel all day, and a rib that recovers beautifully at the cuff of a sweater will let a skirt drop two centimetres by the afternoon.
Zip-up knit jackets
Putting a zip into a knitted garment is a structural problem, not a trim problem. A zip is rigid and the fabric around it is not, so unless the band is stabilised properly the front waves — and a waving zip is the single most common reason a knitted jacket gets rejected at inspection.
Custom & jacquard knitwear
In a jacquard, the pattern is not printed onto the garment — it is the garment. The colour changes are structural, which is why a jacquard cannot be corrected after knitting and why the swatch stage is where the money is actually spent.
