Designer Knitwear Selection

Knitwear & Apparel Ecosystem of Lyon
Lyon hosts a thriving fashion and textile ecosystem, home to design houses and apparel innovators including Maison Montagut, Aigle, and Armor-Lux regional partners.

Logo Weaving Method
Logo integration in Lyon knitwear combines digital design mapping with advanced intarsia, jacquard, or embroidery processes. Each technique enhances brand identity while maintaining clean surface aesthetics and reliable durability through repeated washing and wear.

Lyon’s textile network offers access to premium yarns including merino wool, cashmere, cotton, viscose, and recycled blends. Yarn counts range from Nm 2/30 to Nm 2/60, adjusted for gauge and drape.
