We manage the mills, the quality, and the import — so you get better product at better terms, with someone accountable at every step.
What we source
From everyday knits to structured wovens, we source finished apparel to your spec — garment-dyed for depth of colour or yarn-dyed for run-to-run consistency, your call across every style. Custom Pantone matching, your neck labels, your finish.
Tees, polos, long sleeves, sweatshirts and hoodies in ring-spun cotton and blends — the pieces your line reorders every season.
Button-downs, overshirts and shirting in cotton, linen and blends — clean construction, consistent fit.
Chinos, shorts and joggers built to sit alongside your tops as a coordinated range, not an afterthought.
Garment-dyed for a rich, lived-in finish; yarn-dyed for precise, repeatable colour. Both available across every style.
A trend-led standing range plus custom Pantone matching, so buyers get a palette they're actually excited to order.
Private-label neck tags, packaging and finishing — the product ships as yours, not ours.
Why Yarnstick
Most brands stitch sourcing together from agents, freight forwarders and customs brokers — and end up owning the risk when something slips. Yarnstick is the single counterparty across the whole chain.
We work mill-direct, so the margin that usually disappears into layers of distribution stays in your costing.
Every order is checked against a fixed spec before it ships — the same product, order after order.
We're the U.S. counterparty of record. Customs, compliance and paperwork sit with us, not on your desk.
For brands running seasonal and repeat programs — the right styles and colours, produced on a schedule you can count on.
How it works
A direct line to the factory means fewer hands, clearer accountability, and one point of contact from first sample to final delivery.
Share your styles, colours, quantities and dates — or just the idea, and we'll shape the spec with you.
We match the right mill, quote landed cost up front, and get samples into your hands.
Sign off on the sample and terms. No surprises between approval and production.
We run production, handle the import, and deliver to you — cleared and ready to sell.
Yarnstick exists to make overseas apparel sourcing dependable — so growing brands get the product, terms and certainty that used to be reserved for the biggest players. And we're building the tools to go with it: forecasting and reorder planning that keep the right inventory moving before you run short.
What we make
Send us the spec — a tech pack, a sample, or a reference. We source the right mill, sample it, and deliver to your door: any style, garment- or yarn-dyed, in your colours and label.

YarnIQ · Reorder plan
Illustrative view — YarnIQ plans against capacity Yarnstick reserves for your line.
The Problem
Of apparel inventory now sells below full price — the direct cost of ordering the wrong colours or quantities.
Typical delay waiting on the wrong colour or size after a stockout.
Is still how most growing brands decide what to order, in what quantity, and when.

About Yarnstick
Yarnstick is a direct apparel sourcing partner for US brands and importers.
Our Story
Overseas sourcing is powerful — and, for everyone but the giants, broken. Growing brands and importers face layers of middlemen, opaque pricing, minimums built for orders far bigger than theirs, and no one accountable when something slips.
Yarnstick closes that gap: one accountable partner from mill to door, transparent landed cost, and the import handled for you — with YarnIQ layered on top so you stop guessing at inventory. The aim is simple — give any brand the dependable, direct sourcing that used to be reserved for the biggest players.
