WT3189 runs on 55% acrylic, 45% cotton, which gives the piece a dry, springy hand that holds a knitted stitch without sagging.
Acrylic leads the blend at 55% and keeps its shape after repeated wear, resists moths and takes bright dye well.
The remaining 45% is carried by cotton, which 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.
Acrylic keeps its shape after repeated wear, resists moths and takes bright dye well. The workhorse fibre for volume knitwear programmes, because landed cost stays predictable across a season.
Cotton breathes well and stays comfortable in mild weather. The default choice for spring and summer knitwear sold into warm climates.

Multi-door buyers filling a autumn/winter knit wall. WT3189 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 WT3189 is 55% Acrylic, 45% Cotton, and that is what the sewn-in label has to match.
Stockholders who need WT3189 to repeat. Ask whether this yarn quality carries over to the next AW block before you build depth on it.
| Fibre | Hand and behaviour | Care |
|---|---|---|
| Acrylic | A dry, springy hand that holds a knitted stitch without sagging | Machine washable at low temperature and quick to dry |
| 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. WT3189 is published in 55%ACRYLIC,45%COTTON and nothing else, so a different quality would be a development with its own sample and its own wash test.

It sits in the Women's Autumn/Winter Knitwear section of the catalogue. AW gives a little more calendar room than SS, and the sensible use of it is a proper wash test rather than an extra colour.
It is not published. Request the MOQ for WT3189 together with the price at two or three quantities, so you can see the curve rather than a single number.
Run a wash test and a measurement check on the counter sample, and for acrylic-led yarn also run a pilling test. Write the results into the order as the accepted standard.
Ask first. The catalogue lists WT3189 in 55%ACRYLIC,45%COTTON only, so any other quality is a development rather than a stock option.
Send the quantity you are planning and ask for colourways, size range, MOQ, lead time and test reports for WT3189 in one message. Those five points are not published and decide whether this style fits your programme.
