ZD0083 is knitted from 55% polyester, 20% nylon, 20% acrylic, 5% wool; the blend is what sets the hand, and here that means a smooth filament or staple that keeps its form.
Polyester leads the blend at 55% and adds dimensional stability and colourfastness, and cuts shrinkage.
The remaining 45% 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.
Polyester adds dimensional stability and colourfastness, and cuts shrinkage. Blended in when the retailer's care label has to survive frequent home laundering.
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.
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.
The content for ZD0083 is published as 5%WOOL,20%NYLON,20%ACRYLIC,55%POLYESTER, 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 ZD0083. It is listed here so you know precisely what to ask before sampling instead of assuming a value.

Importers costing ZD0083 against their own tech pack: the 55% polyester 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. ZD0083 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 ZD0083 is 55% Polyester, 20% Nylon, 20% Acrylic, 5% Wool, and that is what the sewn-in label has to match.
Stockholders who need ZD0083 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Polyester | A smooth filament or staple that keeps its form | Easy care, machine washable, fast drying |
| 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. ZD0083 is published in 5%WOOL,20%NYLON,20%ACRYLIC,55%POLYESTER 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.

Autumn/Winter · View styleThe catalogue states 5%WOOL,20%NYLON,20%ACRYLIC,55%POLYESTER, which reads as 55% Polyester, 20% Nylon, 20% Acrylic, 5% Wool. Ask for a yarn card confirming the same content before you place bulk.
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 ZD0083. 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 polyester-led yarn also run a pilling test. Write the results into the order as the accepted standard.
Ask first. The catalogue lists ZD0083 in 5%WOOL,20%NYLON,20%ACRYLIC,55%POLYESTER 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 ZD0083 in one message. Those five points are not published and decide whether this style fits your programme.
