Understanding Knitwear Short Course

Course description

This knitwear course will provide you with a better understanding of the knitwear yarns and machinery used in bulk production. Samples will be studied so you can identify the most common knitwear structures used on the High Street. Performance, characteristics and cost implications will also be covered.

The course will be delivered at our Lime Grove site (for Summer 2023 this will be delivered at our Kings Cross site), where you can see the latest whole garment knitting machine and a linking machine in action. You should leave us better equipped to negotiate with suppliers and deal with any production issues, with a stronger grasp of terminology and the industry as a whole.
