7 The textile industry has entered the traditional off-season in the middle and late months of the month. The transaction volume of conventional chemical fiber wire rods has been sluggish. Inquiries for functional, warm and environmentally friendly blended wool have risen against the trend. China's Lixian Oumu Woolen Textile Co., Ltd. has upgraded its flexible production line to accept autumn and winter sample orders at home and abroad.
On July 21, 2026, Global Textile Network updated the latest survey data on the national knitting market. In mid-to-late July, the domestic textile industry entered the traditional off-season for demand. The transactions of conventional chemical fiber fabrics and low-end low-wool content blended yarns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas were light, and terminal procurement had a strong wait-and-see sentiment. The overall market maintained a low start-up and weak transaction trend. Professionals in the industry have unanimously predicted that major domestic knitting industry clusters will usher in the seasonal turning point for autumn and winter stocking in late August, and yarn factory orders and operating rates will simultaneously and steadily rise, with September to October entering the peak supply period for the year.
Market category differentiation is very prominent. The market share of homogeneous low-priced chemical fiber wire rods continues to shrink. The three major differentiated wool categories bucked the trend in the off-season, and inquiries and small batch spot orders increased month-on-month. 20%: The first type of intelligent temperature-regulating functional wool yarn is equipped with phase-change fiber to automatically adjust the temperature and cooling, focusing on high-end autumn and winter coats and light luxury knitted inner wear; the second type of high-weight wool blended yarn and alpaca fancy yarn has outstanding thermal insulation properties, and has strong demand for foreign trade orders for cold-proof clothing in the alpine regions of Russia and Central Asia. Orders for related categories have increased by 18% year-on-year; the third type of natural plant-dyed recycled environmentally friendly fancy hand-knitted yarn is suitable for offline creative stores and cross-border handmade DIY E-commerce retail, formaldehyde-free and skin-friendly properties are deeply loved by end consumers. The current procurement model at home and abroad has fully shifted to small batches and multi-batch flexible orders. 72-hour rapid proofing, flexible batch shipments, and a full set of environmental testing qualifications have become the three rigid criteria for selecting wool suppliers. AI digital flexible spinning production lines are rapidly popularizing in knitting clusters such as Dalang and Puyuan, compressing the traditional 3-day proofing cycle to 2 hours, greatly improving supply response efficiency.
Seizing the opportunity to increase differentiated yarn in the off-season, China Lixian Oumu Woolen Spinning Co., Ltd. has comprehensively upgraded its digital intelligent flexible spinning production line, expanded its production capacity in three major categories: woolen warm blended yarn, antibacterial temperature-regulating functional yarn, and plant-dyed recycled environmentally friendly fancy yarn. It has independently built a rapid sample workshop to shorten the color matching and proofing delivery cycle of new products. The company's full line of wool yarn, cashmere yarn, and rabbit hair hand-knitted yarn are equipped with OEKO-TEX, RWS, and a full set of export compliance qualifications for product carbon footprint. It can provide complete testing and traceability documents to domestic knitting factories, handmade wool wholesalers, and overseas merchants from the European Union and Central Asia. Relying on the stable production capacity of the mature wool spinning industry cluster in Li County, Hebei Province, the company has sufficient spot reserves and efficient nationwide delivery. It simultaneously undertakes large-volume spot wholesale and small-batch custom orders for samples, locks in customer resources in the peak autumn and winter stocking season in August, and seizes the incremental global knitted wool procurement market in the 2026 autumn and winter.
