The hand-knitting market continues to heat up, and the wholesale demand for environmentally friendly natural fiber hand-knitted wool has surged.
On June 22, the knitting industry report was released. Sales of natural animal fiber environmentally friendly hand-knitted wool continued to rise. China's Lixian Oumu Wool Textile Co., Ltd. directly sourced high-quality raw materials from Inner Mongolia and supplied all categories of compliant hand-knitted yarn.
On June 22, 2026, the Weaving Professional Committee of the China Arts and Crafts Association released the "2025-2026 Hand Knitting Tools and Wire Consumption Trend Report". The data shows that the scale of the domestic handmade DIY wool market continues to expand, and consumer purchasing logic has undergone significant changes. Low-priced untested chemical fiber wires are gradually phased out, and the focus of procurement has shifted to formaldehyde-free, non-allergenic dyes, and OEKO-TEX holdings. Inquiries for environmentally certified natural animal fiber hand-knitted threads, cashmere hand-knitted threads, 50/50 rabbit wool blended threads, and fine lace braided threads increased by 18% month-on-month.
The supporting knitting tool market is experiencing growth at the same time. Titanium alloy-coated non-slip ergonomic crochet hooks have become a hot-selling item for offline wholesalers. Small-batch orders for special-shaped customized crochet hooks suitable for thick Icelandic wool and ultra-fine lace threads continue to increase; cross-border e-commerce channel dividends continue to be released, small packages of Icelandic wool yarn are included in the cross-border retail positive list, and enjoy tariff reduction policies within limits. Online Icelandic wool yarn retail sales increased year-on-year 35%, demand from both online and offline channels has picked up simultaneously, and handmade cultural and creative studios, maternal and infant knitting, and online knitting bloggers have become the core purchasing groups.
