Custom Knit Gloves Manufacturer — China Factory Direct
Custom Knit Gloves Manufacturer — Wholesale OEM China
Fashion fingerless, winter mittens, touchscreen-compatible & full-finger styles. Private label OEM from 500 pcs MOQ. OEKO-TEX certified. Factory direct from China.
As a vertically integrated custom knit gloves manufacturer, WeaveEssence produces full-finger, fingerless, touchscreen-compatible and matched set gloves for fashion retailers, promotional buyers and sports brands worldwide. Our factory in China handles yarn sourcing, knitting, finishing and private label packaging under one roof — giving buyers direct control over quality, lead times and cost at every stage of production.
With a 500 pcs MOQ per style, we serve both emerging brands building their first winter accessories range and established wholesale buyers placing seasonal replenishment orders. Every glove is produced to the same technical standards as our scarves and beanies, making coordinated set production straightforward and consistent across your entire range.
Our glove programme covers all primary yarn constructions — acrylic for economy and promotional orders, merino wool for mid-to-premium retail, cashmere blend for luxury positioning, and recycled yarn for sustainability-led product ranges. Conductive yarn integration for touchscreen compatibility is available across all four materials with no compromise to warmth, elasticity or wash durability.
Because gloves, scarves and beanies are produced within the same facility using shared dye lots, colour consistency across matched winter accessories sets is guaranteed — a technical advantage that multi-factory sourcing simply cannot replicate.
✗ Common Misconception: “Gloves are simple accessories — sourcing them separately from scarves is always fine.”
✓ Reality: Same Pantone reference, different factories = colour drift.
When gloves and scarves are sourced from separate factories — even using an identical Pantone reference — inter-factory dye variation routinely produces a Delta E of 2.0–4.0, a difference clearly visible to the naked eye under retail lighting. Producing all items within a single facility from the same dye lot consistently achieves Delta E ≤ 1.0, meeting the colour tolerance threshold required by most major European and North American retail buyers.
Glove Types We Manufacture
All styles available from 500 pcs MOQ with custom yarn, colour and label options.
Full-Finger Knitted Gloves
Full-finger gloves are knitted in one continuous piece using 7- or 10-gauge construction, providing full hand coverage and structured warmth. Available in acrylic, merino wool and cashmere blend yarns, they suit mid-market to premium retail positioning. Ribbed cuffs and reinforced palm zones are standard options. Private label woven labels and hang tags are included from 500 pcs MOQ.
- Gauge: 7gg / 10gg construction
- Yarn: acrylic, merino, cashmere blend
- MOQ: 500 pcs per style per colour
Fingerless Gloves & Mittens
Fingerless gloves and convertible mittens are among our highest-volume fashion styles, popular with urban lifestyle brands and festival retailers. Knitted at 12-gauge for a fine, drapey hand feel, they are available in open-finger, half-finger and flip-top mitten configurations. Cable and jacquard knit patterns are available at no additional tooling cost from 500 pcs MOQ.
- Gauge: 12gg fine construction
- Styles: open-finger, half-finger, flip-top

Touchscreen-Compatible Gloves
Touchscreen-compatible gloves integrate silver-coated conductive yarn into the thumb and index fingertip zones, enabling reliable smartphone and tablet interaction. The conductive yarn is knitted seamlessly into the structure — there is no patch or insert that can delaminate over time. Conductivity is tested to a minimum of 500 wash cycles to ensure long-term performance for end consumers.
- Conductive yarn: thumb + index fingertip zones
- Tested: 500+ wash cycle durability
- Available in all yarn types
Glove + Scarf Sets (Matched Sets)
Matched glove and scarf sets — and three-piece glove, scarf and beanie sets — are produced from the same yarn batch, guaranteeing identical colour, texture and colorfastness across every item. Sets are packaged together in branded gift boxes or poly bags and are available from 500 pcs MOQ per set. Particularly popular with promotional buyers, department stores and gifting programmes.
- Same-batch dye lot: Delta E ≤ 1.0 guaranteed
- Packaging: gift box or branded polybag

Two Common Buyer Scenarios
WeaveEssence serves both fashion retail and promotional/sports buyers from the same 500 pcs MOQ base.
Fashion Retail
Fingerless / merino / trend-led / private label packaging
A fashion accessories brand launching a winter range orders 500 pcs of fingerless merino gloves in four seasonal colourways. Gloves are matched to a coordinated merino scarf from the same dye lot. Private label woven labels, swing tags and individual branded polybags are included. The buyer receives a single shipment with consistent colour across all SKUs — ready for direct retail floor placement.
Promotional & Sports Sets
Acrylic / club branded / matched scarf + beanie + glove sets
A sports club or promotional buyer orders 500 sets of acrylic gloves, scarves and beanies in club colours with jacquard-knit crest panels. All three items are produced from the same yarn batch, guaranteeing colour consistency across the full set. Sets are packed in branded gift boxes for season-ticket holder gifting or retail sale at club shops. MOQ is 500 pcs per set, not per individual item.
WeaveEssence vs Trading Company
Why factory-direct sourcing delivers better outcomes for wholesale knitted gloves OEM buyers.
| Factor | WeaveEssence (Factory Direct) | Trading Company |
|---|---|---|
| MOQ | 500 pcs per style | Often 1,000–2,000 pcs; varies by sub-supplier |
| Colour consistency | Guaranteed — single dye lot, Delta E ≤ 1.0 | Risk of Delta E 2.0–4.0 variation across sub-suppliers |
| Matched sets | Gloves, scarves and beanies from same batch | Sourced from different factories; colour risk high |
| Certifications | OEKO-TEX, GRS, RWS — direct from factory | Dependent on sub-supplier; not always verifiable |
| Bulk lead time | Direct scheduling; 35–45 days bulk | Additional buffer for trading company coordination |
| Pricing transparency | Factory cost + direct margin | Factory cost + trading company margin added |
| Technical support | Direct access to production team and QC | Filtered through intermediary; slower resolution |
“We ordered a matched glove and scarf set for our winter gifting programme — 2,000 sets in six colourways. The colour consistency across every item in every set was exact. No dye lot variation at all. That level of control is only possible when everything comes from one factory.”
“The touchscreen-compatible gloves we sourced from WeaveEssence have been in our range for three seasons. Zero complaints about conductivity degrading after washing. The conductive yarn is knitted in — it’s not a patch — and that makes all the difference for long-term product quality.”

Yes — silver-coated conductive yarn is integrated seamlessly into the thumb and index fingertip zones, available across acrylic, merino and cashmere blend constructions. Conductivity is tested to a minimum of 500 wash cycles with no impact on warmth or elasticity.
Q: What certifications are available for custom knit gloves?
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is standard on all styles; GRS is available for recycled yarn and RWS for merino wool. Colorfastness is tested to ISO 105-C06 Grade 4+ and pilling resistance to ISO 12945-2 Grade 3–4 minimum.
