SA2242 runs on 100% cotton, which gives the piece a smooth, cool hand with very little stretch memory.
Cotton leads the blend at 100% and breathes well and stays comfortable in mild weather.
An AW knit wall is built on hand feel. Buyers compare surfaces side by side, which is why fibre variety matters more in this half of the catalogue.

Multi-door buyers filling a autumn/winter knit wall. SA2242 is one body in a women's autumn/winter knitwear section, so it can sit beside related yarns rather than standing alone.
Online sellers who print the content on the product page. What you publish for SA2242 is 100% Cotton, and that is what the sewn-in label has to match.
Buyers judging SA2242 on how the cotton surface photographs and how it holds through a full price selling period.
| Fibre | Hand and behaviour | Care |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton | A smooth, cool hand with very little stretch memory | Washes easily but can relax in length, so wash-tested measurements matter |
| Wool (alternative) | A warm, resilient hand with natural crimp | Needs a wool cycle or dry cleaning unless the yarn is treated |
The third row is an alternative fibre shown for comparison only. SA2242 is published in 100%COTTON and nothing else, so a different quality would be a development with its own sample and its own wash test.
You select from the catalogue and adapt it, rather than developing a body from zero.

No MOQ is stated for SA2242. When you ask, also ask whether the minimum is driven by the yarn or by the knitting run, since a yarn-driven minimum can sometimes be shared across styles.
Run a wash test and a measurement check on the counter sample, and for cotton-led yarn also run a pilling test. Write the results into the order as the accepted standard.
