We would make a time together to go through your ideas. When you have more or less decided on what you want, we will meet with the technician to discuss and give our recommendations.
what can I knit? What yarns can I use?
We specialise in natural yarns. We love Merino wool, however most natural fibres work well on our machines.
How does the process work?
We have 3 knitwear machines, two Stolls & a Shima. They are all capable of producing amazing knitwear. You are really only limited by your imagination!
How do costings work?
Our technicians are the wonderful mix of many years of experience mixed with being open to new concepts and ideas. They have the skills to turn your spec sheet into a program that can be put into the relevant knitting machine. So, sampling is what takes the time to design and make. Then we can proceed to bulk order for you. Our bulk min is 15 pieces, per design & size.
What next?The Textile and fashion Hub runs regular tours at 4pm Tuesday. You can join us for one of these no booking required.
We regularly run our knitwear courses also. These run each month. It is recommended to attend our knitwear short course as it helps with understanding the construction of the knits and how to communicate what you are wanting made.
- sweaters- cardigans- dresses- pants
- blankets/throwsThe list is endless!
Costs do depend on what you are looking for. For some clients who may be trying a new yarn eg Possum mix yarn or a complicated knit, they may elect to have our Presample proposal. This means that you can pay for a ½ day rate or a full day rate of our technicians time to develop swatches for you.Sampling is also based on a timed rate, as there are many factors that affect the times. Design, yarns, different knits and creating the programs. Bulk can be quoted once sampling has been done. It is largely based on machine knitting time.
