WT3246 runs on 90% cotton, 10% lurex, which gives the piece a smooth, cool hand with very little stretch memory.
Cotton leads the blend at 90% and breathes well and stays comfortable in mild weather.
The remaining 10% is carried by lurex, which adds sparkle without the weight or drop-off risk of applied trims.
Autumn/Winter is where a knit range earns its full-price weeks, so the yarn has to read as substantial without becoming heavy.
Cotton breathes well and stays comfortable in mild weather. The default choice for spring and summer knitwear sold into warm climates.
Lurex adds sparkle without the weight or drop-off risk of applied trims. The fastest way to move a plain body into party and festive assortments.

Multi-door buyers filling a autumn/winter knit wall. WT3246 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 WT3246 is 90% Cotton, 10% Lurex, and that is what the sewn-in label has to match.
Buyers judging WT3246 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 |
| Lurex | A flat metallic filament plated with the ground yarn | Wash inside out and cold to keep the metallic surface bright |
| 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. WT3246 is published in 90%COTTON,10% LUREX 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.

It sits in the Women'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.
The catalogue does not publish an MOQ for WT3246. Ask by email, and ask whether it applies per style, per colour or per size run, because the three answers are very different.
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.
Ask first. The catalogue lists WT3246 in 90%COTTON,10% LUREX 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 WT3246 in one message. Those five points are not published and decide whether this style fits your programme.
