Production Process

Knit Mill

The Knit Mill focuses on flat-knitted products. Bring a design, reference sample or product idea, and tell us the fibre preference, construction and quantity you have in mind.

The Knit Mill develops and manufactures flat-knitted products. Send the design or reference sample, measurements, fibre or yarn preference, stitch construction and quantity.

Include any finishing, labelling, packaging and testing requirements so the inquiry describes the complete product.

For product development, send the sketches, measurements, reference images, technical pack or sample you have. Identify the details still to be decided, such as yarn, stitch construction, sizing, colour and finishing.

Ask what development and sampling work is needed before a manufacturing quotation.

Buyer and technical guide

Define the flat-knitted product

Begin with the finished product. Construction, measurements, material and quantity belong in the same brief.

Process basics

How the process works

Knitting forms a textile by joining loops of yarn. A flat-knitting machine arranges its needles along straight beds. Specify the stitch structure, yarn and measurements together; gauge alone does not describe the finished product.

The decision

Define the flat-knitted product requirement

Define the flat-knitted product with a technical pack, drawing, reference sample or clear product brief.

  • technical pack, drawing, reference sample or brief
  • material and yarn requirement
  • construction and measurements
  • colour and finish
  • quantity by style, size and colour

Before an order

Agree the specification and terms

Use the quotation or order confirmation to agree the specification, quantity, delivery timing and each party's responsibilities.
