Learn Apparel Merchandising, Learn Fashion design. Dear All, Please find below a comments & its answer which is related with sweater consumption. Sweater dont have solid or finished fabric like Woven & knit item, by linking one yarn with another the shape of the different part of sweater is made. so that there is no such consumption formula for sweater like knit & woven item . For costing of sweater, we need to make a sample first as per customer required style, measurement & weight . It is wise to make the sample following the middle size of customer spec. Then weight that sweater & multiply the weight with 12 pcs to know the weight of per dozen sweater. Then add wastage percentage (Generally we calculate 10-20% wastage based on styling). This way we can found the sweater consumption In the view of above the sweater costing formula will be like as below. = Yarn weight (in LBS / dzn Garments ) + wastage X price of yarn /lbs = Result of usable total yarn cost

Costing :1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Yarn :- Total usable Yarn cost/dzn Add total Accessories cost /dz Add Print/Emb.(If any) / dz Add Zipper cost (If any) / dz Add Button cost (If any) / dz Add CM (CM based on styling and gauge) /dz Add Commercial cost / dz Add Profit /dz

Then divided the price / 12 Pcs & you will get price / pc

Example: Say, Weight of following sweater is 8 lbs/ doz (12 GG basic Style) Wastage is 12% of total weight = 0.96 lbs / doz Yarn price is $4 /lbs Basic Accessories cost is: $5 / doz Print cost : $ 0.65 / doz Zipper + button cost : $1 / doz CM : $28 / doz Commercial cost : $2 / doz

Now the costing formula will be = (Total usable yarn in lbs + 12% wastage ) X Yarn price/lbs + Accessories cost + Print cost + Zipper & button cost + CM + Commercial cost = (8 lbs + 0.96 lbs ) X $4 + $5 + $0.65 + $1 + $28 + $2 = 8.96 lbs X $4 + $5 + $0.65 + $1 + $28 + $2 = $35.84 + $5 + $0.65 + $1 + $28 + $2 = $ 72.49 / dozen Then divided by 12, $ 72.49 /12 Pcs $ 6.04/pc FOB . Now add your profit & submit the quotation to buyer.

Cost & Consumption calculation of Sweater
