Construction is the product
Hand-tied wefts are knotted by hand along a thread. The quality markers are knot density, thread strength, return finishing and consistency across the width. A thin weft with loose knots will shed under tension; a thick weft with good knots will look bulky.
Because the weft cannot be cut without unravelling, widths must be planned before ordering. Tell your supplier what row system you use — NBR, sew-in beaded row, traditional — so the widths arrive ready to install.
Why the MOQ is per colour, not per head
Production runs are organised by shade and length. A 1kg minimum per colour and length is not a sales tactic — it is the smallest quantity a colour line can run without wasting dye and tank time. A 1kg total order lets you carry three to four shades, which is usually a better strategy than one colour in bulk.
Mixed textures inside the same order are fine; the constraint is shade and length, not texture.
Matching and reordering
The hardest part of switching suppliers is shade continuity. Ask directly: do you keep a retained master reference, and can I reorder against the same lot number in six months? A manufacturer that controls the full line will say yes and show you the record.
Run the return test on your trial bundle before committing: wash, brush hard at the weft line, and inspect shedding. That one test predicts more about service life than any sample photograph.
Buyer Questions
What lengths and weights do hand-tied wefts come in?
14–26 inches, in 50g, 75g and 100g bundle options.
Can I cut a hand-tied weft to width?
No — cutting releases the knots and the weft unravels. Plan widths with us before production, or choose a Genius Weft if you need cut-to-fit flexibility.
How do I test hand-tied quality before a bulk order?
Order a trial bundle, install it, wash it and brush aggressively at the weft line. Count shed strands and check whether the seam stays flat after washing.
