Translated from Yalkut Yosef:
1. A piece of clothing that is Kilyaim (a hybrid of wool and linen which is forbidden to wear
according to the Torah) is allowed to be manufactured and sold to a non-Jew because
the prohibition is to wear the clothing with the mix. It is allowed to tell a
non-Jew to sew clothing that has a mix of wool and linen if its for the benefit
of the non-Jew. If it is known to all viewers that the clothing has wool and
linen then it is allowed for a non-Jew to sew and manufacture, however; when
the hybrid is hidden it is forbidden to manufacture because the non-Jew can
create a situation where he/she is selling ot to a Jew and may not know that it
is a prohibition.
2. An individual is allowed to hold an article of clothing
with Kilayim when they know they will
not wear it, such as a non-Jewish article of clothing and this person does not
have to burn the clothing. A Jewish retailer/wholesaler is allowed to sell
clothing that includes Kilayim when
there is a non-Jewish merchant also selling the same clothes and there is a
doubt whether or not a Jew will wear it. If an individual does not if the
clothing consists of wool and linen, one should be suspicious that a Jew will
come to wear it and even in a doubt the merchant may not sell the
clothing. However, if the seller puts up a sign that he is not responsible for Sha’atnez (the biblical name for
Kilayim), then he may sell these clothes.
