WT2880 is knitted from 80% viscose, 20% nylon; the blend is what sets the hand, and here that means a fluid, cool hand with heavy drape.
Viscose leads the blend at 80% and falls close to the body and gives knit fabric a liquid movement that pure acrylic cannot.
The remaining 20% is carried by nylon, which raises abrasion and pilling resistance, and lets a yarn stay light without going fragile.
In AW the garment is bought for warmth and for how it looks under store lighting, and the yarn decides both.
Viscose falls close to the body and gives knit fabric a liquid movement that pure acrylic cannot. Chosen when the buyer wants a dressy knit rather than a casual one.
Nylon raises abrasion and pilling resistance, and lets a yarn stay light without going fragile. Usually blended in at 10-30% to protect the seams and cuffs that fail first in wear tests.
The content for WT2880 is published as 80%VISCOSE,20%NYLON, so you can price the yarn and write the care label before you sample.
For AW, work backwards from the cut date: booking, inspection, production, yarn, sample approval. Yarn is usually the binding constraint.
Everything marked TBC is genuinely not stated in the factory catalogue for WT2880. It is listed here so you know precisely what to ask before sampling instead of assuming a value.

Importers costing WT2880 against their own tech pack: the 80% viscose ground is the line that sets the yarn price, and it is fixed here before sampling starts.
Multi-door buyers filling a autumn/winter knit wall. WT2880 is one body in a men'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 WT2880 is 80% Viscose, 20% Nylon, and that is what the sewn-in label has to match.
Buyers judging WT2880 on how the viscose surface photographs and how it holds through a full price selling period.
| Fibre | Hand and behaviour | Care |
|---|---|---|
| Viscose | A fluid, cool hand with heavy drape | Best washed cold or dry cleaned; it loses strength when wet |
| Nylon | A fine, slightly slick filament that adds tensile strength | Stable in washing and fast drying |
| 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. WT2880 is published in 80%VISCOSE,20%NYLON and nothing else, so a different quality would be a development with its own sample and its own wash test.

Wholesale buyers who hold stock, sell to smaller retailers and need consistency more than novelty.

It sits in the Men's Autumn/Winter Knitwear section of the catalogue. Most AW programmes confirm in the first half of the year, so a shortlist sent early gets a better answer than a large one sent late.
No MOQ is stated for WT2880. 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 viscose-led yarn also run a pilling test. Write the results into the order as the accepted standard.
Not as listed. WT2880 appears in one content, and a substitution changes the cost, the care label and the hand at the same time.
Send the quantity you are planning and ask for colourways, size range, MOQ, lead time and test reports for WT2880 in one message. Those five points are not published and decide whether this style fits your programme.
