5 low MOQ yarns for Autumn/Winter 2027

A curated list of five stock service yarns with low MOQs. Short on purpose: every one is vetted, and you can order from 1 to 2 kg.

You've got the sketches and a season to hit. Then you ask a mill about yarn, and the minimums are for a brand ten times your size. 😅

So I pulled together five yarns I've already vetted: some I've used in production and loved, and the rest are from mills and agents I know and trust.

Open the PDF to compare count, gauge, MOQ, and price per kg. Order the shade cards, and watch the 3-minute video to see what to look out for first.

“Selling nearly four times more than we typically do at pop-ups.”

“Mari has been an instrumental partner to the development and growth of our knitwear program.”

“Really helped us to expand the types of yarns we were working with.”

“She brought technical expertise to the table that we didn't have internally. She was always easy to communicate with and was always prepared!”

Challen BrillDirector of Design and Product Development, imogene + willie

“We added a whole new collection in a new fabric to our offerings!”

“Before working with Mari, we had always dreamed of creating something in knitwear but had no idea where to start or what the fabric was capable of.”

Ashley ShogrenCo-Founder, Girlhood

“We wasted no time, and everything was delivered on schedule and to the highest standard.”

“Making clothing is hard. Making knitwear is even harder and somehow Mari made it feel easy.”

Hi, I'm Mari

I grew up in Puerto Rico, and I've been designing knitwear for 15 years.

Through April Knit Studio, I've helped 20+ independent brands launch into knitwear, working with mills and makers from Peru to Italy. My work has been featured in Vogue, Elle and Harper's Bazaar.

I made this guide because yarn is where so many first collections stall. Making knitwear is hard. You don't have to figure out the yarn card alone.
