ZD0180 runs on 80% acrylic, 20% metallic yarn, which gives the piece a dry, springy hand that holds a knitted stitch without sagging.
Acrylic leads the blend at 80% and keeps its shape after repeated wear, resists moths and takes bright dye well.
The remaining 20% is carried by metallic yarn, which lifts a plain stitch under retail lighting.
In AW the garment is bought for warmth and for how it looks under store lighting, and the yarn decides both.
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.
Metallic yarn lifts a plain stitch under retail lighting. A low-cost way to give one body two very different retail stories.
The content for ZD0180 is published as 80%ACRYLIC,20%METALLIC, 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 ZD0180. It is listed here so you know precisely what to ask before sampling instead of assuming a value.

Importers costing ZD0180 against their own tech pack: the 80% acrylic 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. ZD0180 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 ZD0180 is 80% Acrylic, 20% Metallic yarn, and that is what the sewn-in label has to match.
Stockholders who need ZD0180 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 |
| Metallic yarn | A reflective filament twisted through the ground yarn | Cold wash, inside out, no tumble 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. ZD0180 is published in 80%ACRYLIC,20%METALLIC 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 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 ZD0180 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.
Possibly, but treat it as a new development: ZD0180 is published in one quality, and a different yarn needs its own sample and its own wash test.
Send the quantity you are planning and ask for colourways, size range, MOQ, lead time and test reports for ZD0180 in one message. Those five points are not published and decide whether this style fits your programme.
