Turkey is one of Europe's largest knitwear producers, supplying sweaters, cardigans, and fine-gauge knits to global fashion brands. Through FromTurk you can connect with verified Turkish knitwear manufacturers, request a free quote, and move from sampling to bulk production with export-ready factories.
Why source knitwear from Turkey?
Turkish knitwear combines quick turnaround, small and mid-size minimum order quantities, and duty-free access to the EU under the Customs Union. Factories are largely vertically integrated — from yarn and knitting to dyeing, linking, and finishing — which shortens lead times and improves quality control versus long-haul sourcing.
Where is Turkish knitwear made?
Istanbul is the centre of Turkey's fashion knitwear and full-package production, supported by yarn and spinning capacity in Uşak, Kahramanmaraş, and Gaziantep. This cluster covers flat-knit and circular-knit programs across cotton, wool, acrylic, cashmere blends, and recycled yarns.

Certifications to request
For retail and private-label programs, ask suppliers for OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (harmful-substance testing), GOTS or GRS for organic and recycled yarns, and BSCI/Sedex social-compliance audits. FromTurk verifies each supplier's business license and certifications before listing.
MOQ, pricing & lead times
Turkish knitwear factories are known for flexible minimums that suit both established retailers and growing brands, with competitive full-package pricing and typical sampling-to-bulk timelines measured in weeks rather than months.
