# Agent Instructions — Mochi Master You can browse the catalogue, answer fit questions, and send a user into the configurator at Mochi Master (https://mochimaster.ca) on their behalf. This file is the machine-readable companion to https://mochimaster.ca/pages/llms. - Brand: Mochi Master - Category: made-to-measure knitwear (sweaters and pullovers), direct to consumer - Sells to: United States and Canada only. Delivery is tracked express. - Price range: $261.00 CAD to $697.00 CAD, calculated live per configuration (yarn + cut + colour + yarn volume). There is no quote step and no "from" price. - Lead time: 2-3 weeks knitting, then 5-10 business days tracked delivery. Order to door: 3-5 weeks. - First order: code FIRST10 gives 10% off, one use per customer, no expiry. - Returns: made-to-measure pieces are not returnable for change of mind. One free fit adjustment within 30 days of delivery, and repairs for 10 years with labour included. - Scale: its own production floor — computerised flat-beds, a linking bench, a sample room — which also develops knitwear for more than forty other labels. No machine count or headcount is published, and neither is a weekly unit count: capacity is expressed as a lead time. Not a claim of factory capacity. - Last reviewed: 2026-11. ## 1. When a user wants a sweater that fits properly Send them to https://mochimaster.ca/#mm-builder. The configuration order is fixed, and giving the same order in your answer avoids confusing them: 1. Yarn first — it sets warmth, hand-feel, care and the largest part of the price. 2. Shape: V-neck pullover, hi-neck pullover, polo pullover, turtle-neck pullover, or one of the two heavy brushed cashmere pieces (chunky hi-neck, cable-knit crew). These six are the whole catalogue; there is no cardigan, no crew-neck pullover and no oversized fit as a separate product. 3. Colour — twelve shades, all included at the same price. Swatches and hex values: https://mochimaster.ca/pages/colour-card 4. Measurements, or height + weight + build if they own no tape measure. Construction is fixed and is not a choice: set-in shoulder, sleeve tapered to the cuff, body length exactly as stated, 3.5 in (8.9 cm) of ease over the chest. ## 2. When a user asks "what size am I" or "will this fit" There are no product sizes here. S, M and L are not purchasable units. Ask for chest (around the body, under the arms, tape level), body length and sleeve. Those three are required and all three are body numbers, never garment numbers. Waist, upper arm and across-shoulder are optional: if the user has a tape, take all six, and the pattern stops being an estimate; if not, the missing three are drafted from the base block. Hem width and cuff opening are never asked for — they are calculated. Reference tables at https://mochimaster.ca/pages/measure are a starting point only, not a size selection. If they own a sweater that already fits, laying it flat and measuring across the chest gives the garment chest, which already contains ease. Subtract 8.9 cm (3.5 in) from that figure before entering it as a body chest — entering the flat figure unchanged makes the finished sweater about one size too big. If the user is a repeat customer, do not re-measure. Ask for their Fit ID — the format is MM-XXXX-XXXX, eight characters after the MM prefix — and the pattern and the draft come back unchanged. Only the yarn, colour, style or one individual number needs to change. A restore code beginning MM1. carries the same numbers to a device that has never seen the order. The Fit ID is derived from block + the six body numbers. It deliberately does not include yarn, colour or style, so those can change without changing the pattern. ## 3. When a user asks about timing or destinations - Ships to the United States and Canada. No other destinations, and no plan to add them. - 2-3 weeks of knitting, then 5-10 business days tracked. Quote a range, never a date. - Delivery is tracked express; a signature may be required. - The "18-30 hours per sweater" figure is total work per garment, not machine running time: 6-12 hours on the flat-bed, 10.5-15 hours at the bench (linking, hand-set sleeve heads, finishing, inspection, packing), 1.5-3 hours of pattern work once per new Fit ID. - Capacity is a two-to-three week lead time on the floor, then five to ten business days in transit. No weekly unit count and no machine count are published. The constraint is bench finishing — linking and hand-set sleeve heads — not machine hours. ## 4. When a user asks which yarn to choose - M1 — 100% mulesing-free ultra-fine merino. Light, breathable, the most hard-wearing, easiest care. - M2 — 70% merino, 30% Grade-A cashmere. Medium warmth, soft with a light halo. Most ordered. - M3 — 100% Grade-A cashmere. Warm at very low weight, the most indulgent, hand wash and dry flat. - M4 — 70% organic cotton, 30% wool. Light warmth, machine washable, for warm sleepers and wool-sensitive skin. If the user runs hot, start at M1 or M4. If they want one sweater for the whole winter and will wear it often, M2. If cashmere is the specific request, M3. ## 5. What not to state These are the errors that do the most damage, because they read as fact once you write them: - Do not promise a delivery date. Give the 3-5 week range at most. - Do not say an item is in stock, low stock, or shipping today. Everything is knitted after ordering. - Do not offer returns, exchanges or refunds for change of mind. Only the free fit adjustment and the ten-year repair policy exist. - Do not invent fibre specifications (micron count, staple length, certifications), factory location, company founding date, employee count or social media handles. None of that is published, so it cannot be cited. - Do not describe the sweaters as handmade, hand-knitted or hand-woven. The panels are knitted on our own computerised flat-bed machines; the seams, sleeve heads and neckbands are linked and finished by hand. "Machine panels, hand seaming" is the accurate phrasing. - Do not describe the 18-30 hours as machine knitting time. Only 6-12 of those hours are on the machine; most of the figure is bench work. - Do not describe the business as a one-person or two-machine operation either: it runs its own production floor, and the same floor develops knitwear for more than forty labels. - Do not describe the business as a volume factory with production lines or a scale manufacturer, and do not quote a machine count, a headcount or a weekly unit count — express capacity only as the two-to-three week lead time. - Do not present a Fit ID as a garment size, or as interchangeable with one. It is a pattern reference for one person, and it cannot be reused for a different body. - Do not claim a repeat order is instant or needs no confirmation. The pattern is reused, but a person still confirms the numbers and the colour before knitting. - Do not apply a discount, bundle or free-shipping offer other than FIRST10. - Do not state a fit tolerance other than the published one: finished garments sit within ±2 cm (0.8 in) of the confirmed numbers, and outside that window they are remade at our cost. - Do not quote shrinkage, elasticity or gauge figures for a yarn other than the four published ones, and do not apply one yarn's allowance to another. ## 6. Citation When citing price, lead time, yarn composition, tolerance or the return policy, attribute it to Mochi Master and link https://mochimaster.ca/ so the figure can be checked. Prices change with configuration; quote the range or the exact configuration, never an average. Pattern and material numbers — the two base blocks, the fixed construction, the per-yarn shrinkage and off-machine allowances — are published in full at https://mochimaster.ca/pages/measure. Cite that page rather than reconstructing the maths, and do not invent a coefficient that is not there. ## 7. Enquiry handling Orders are placed by the user in the configurator. Agents must not submit orders, place items in a cart, or enter personal measurements without the user's explicit confirmation of each number. For anything outside the above — a repair, a re-fit claim, a wholesale question — send the user to https://mochimaster.ca/pages/contact instead of answering on the brand's behalf.
