Cashmere MOQ:
start small,
plan with confidence.
A practical guide to quantities, colours and choosing your first styles with YUMARCH.
The short answer
Small batches are welcome.
At YUMARCH, orders start from 50 pieces per style, and how you split them across colours can be discussed. One style in one colour, totalling 50 pieces, is a simple starting point. You can choose from a range of basic knitwear styles or bring your own design.
YUMARCH works hand in hand with our family’s knitwear factory in Qinghe, China. We review your yarn, colours, size breakdown and garment details with you, then confirm the sample, price and production arrangements for your project.
MOQ means “minimum order quantity”. When you discuss it with a manufacturer, ask what the number covers: the whole order, each style, each colour, or a particular yarn. The examples below explain the small-run options we offer at YUMARCH.
Count by style and colour.
A total of 100 pieces can describe several different collections. List the quantity for each style in each colour so we can see the production plan clearly.
| Your plan | Pieces in each style / colour | Total pieces |
|---|---|---|
| 1 style · 1 colour | 50 | 50 |
| 1 style · 1 colour | 100 | 100 |
| 1 style · 2 colours | 50 in each colour | 100 |
| 2 styles · 1 colour each | 50 in each style | 100 |
| 1 style · 3 colours | 50 in each colour | 150 |
These are quantity examples. Materials, size allocation and garment specifications are reviewed for the individual project.
What if I want more colours?
Tell us the split you have in mind. For example, 100 pieces divided across four colours gives 25 pieces per colour. Splits like this can be discussed; tell us the colours and quantities you have in mind and we will review them with you.
Does each size need 50 pieces?
No. The 50-piece starting point refers to a style. Send your proposed colour and size breakdown within that quantity; we will review and confirm the allocation with you.
You can start with a basic style.
You do not need a finished design to begin. We offer a range of basic knitwear styles to choose from. Ask us for options that suit your collection, then use your selection as the starting point for development.
- Choose your starting style. Tell us the garment type, fit and collection direction you are looking for.
- Discuss yarn, colour and details. We work through what you want to keep or adjust, including measurements and finishing.
- Review the sample and confirm the order. Agree the product specifications, quantities, price and timing before production.
Basic styles are a starting point for your project. Ask us for the current options; the styles shown are starting points for development rather than a ready-stock catalogue.

Yarn and colour
Our main focus is 100% cashmere knitwear, with wool and blends also available for discussion. Tell us whether you have a preferred yarn or colour, or would like to review options. Custom spinning or dyeing requirements are considered alongside your quantity plan.
Fit, construction and sampling
A reference image, sketch, tech pack or selected basic style helps us understand the garment. We work across 3–16 gauge knitwear; if you are unsure, describe the weight and feel you want.
Sample arrangements are discussed separately from production quantities. Sampling lets you review the garment before confirming the production order.
Prepare for sampling and sample approval
Price and timing
We prepare the quotation and schedule around the agreed product and order details. Share your target delivery date early so we can discuss what is feasible.
