Knitting News gives a report on a strong pre-season booking at the Spring/Summer 2026 cycle. In Asia, exporters are getting more demands on lightweight cotton, modal, and viscose-blend knitted fabrics. European and North American buyers make their orders earlier than normal to circumvent past season delays. The industry officials attribute the positive trend to new retail confidence. As sourcing schedules rapidly progress, the mills are planning to be in an active production window at the beginning of 2026.
