7 needles belong to lower needle spacing, with thicker needles, usually paired with medium to thick count yarns (such as 3ply, 4ply, or thicker chain yarns). The knitted sweater has the following distinct characteristics:

Thickness and Warmth: The fabric is fluffy and thick, with multiple air layers, and has extremely strong temperature locking ability. A 7-needle pure wool or cashmere sweater is enough to withstand the cold winds of late autumn and early winter.

Texture and appearance: The surface has obvious knitted texture, strong texture, casual and rough style, with a rustic atmosphere of handmade weaving. It is suitable for creating oversize coat, retro Fried Dough Twists sweater, Nordic style jacquard shirt.

Weight and drape: Relatively heavy, with weak drape, more emphasis on volume and warmth. Wearing it close to the body may cause a slight pricking sensation, and it is recommended to use it as an outer or inner lining base shirt.

Applicable scenarios: Northern autumn and winter, outdoor leisure, skiing vacation. Tiecheng's 7-needle series often uses a blend of imported lamb wool and anti pilling cashmere to enhance softness while maintaining thickness.

It should be noted that 7-needle sweaters have low density, and if the yarn quality is poor, they are prone to pilling or deformation. Tiecheng uses tight spinning and silk finishing to ensure that thick knitted sweaters can also maintain long-lasting firmness.
