Description
Product Overview
This women’s short-sleeve wool cashmere sweater is worked in a fine plain knit with a ribbed crew neck band and ribbed cuffs. The sleeve is cut to end at the elbow at a narrow ribbed cuff, which is the detail that separates this style from a short-sleeve top. The cuff itself is narrow and ribbed, so the sleeve finishes close to the arm instead of opening out, and it can be developed at a different depth from the same sleeve panel. Ribbing also finishes the lower hem.
The body is plain in color with no pattern, print or logo, and the sleeve is set in at a regular shoulder seam. The reference samples are photographed in a blush pink, a black, a berry pink and an oat ground; those are reference shades only, and production colors are developed to the buyer’s palette. The body is cut to a relaxed line that sits away from the body.
A wider selection sits in the women’s knit pullover range and the custom women sweater collection; development is handled under OEM and ODM services.

Suitable Buyers and Collections
Women’s labels needing an elbow-length knit for a transitional layer, knitwear brands building a plain fine-knit group around one sleeve length, and private-label collections replacing a short-sleeve top with an elbow-length one. It suits buyers coordinating this sweater with a ribbed knit in the same color direction, and online retailers that need the sleeve line to read clearly in a product shot. It also works as a layering piece under a jacket, where the longer sleeve covers the cuff without competing with a longer knit.
Custom Development Information
We start from an existing fine-knit sweater or knit top, a size chart and a color direction. That reference fixes the yarn and the cuff depth, and the sample is knitted so the neckline, the cuff and the body width can be reviewed together.
MOQ is confirmed after reviewing the yarn, color, craftsmanship and order requirements. Sampling and production schedules are confirmed after all design details are approved. Sleeve length is agreed on the sample, because it changes the sleeve panel.
Frequently Asked Questions

Elbow length. The sleeve ends at the elbow at a narrow ribbed cuff, rather than stopping at the shoulder.

A fine plain knit with no pattern, print or logo, finished with ribbing at the neck, cuffs and hem.
What neck is on this short-sleeve sweater?
A ribbed crew neck band, with the band depth and width adjustable from buyer reference so the collar can sit closer or further from the neck.
Is there any pattern on this sweater?
Nothing is applied to the body of this sweater; it is a solid plain knit from the collar to the hem.
Which colors is this sweater shown in?
A blush pink, a black, a berry pink and an oat ground. All are reference shades only.
How does the sweater sit?
To a relaxed line that sits away from the body, with set-in sleeves at a regular shoulder seam.
Can the sleeve length be changed?
Yes. Sleeve length and cuff depth are developed from buyer reference, and confirmed at the sample stage. A shorter sleeve can also be developed from the same body panel if the range needs both lengths.

Cashmere and wool blend is what this style is developed in.
