Knitwear Development in London
Develop your knitwear collection with our London lab, from the first stitch exploration to a production-ready sample.
Knitwear development and sampling at MAEKNIT’s London lab in the Harringay Warehouse District, with swatching, prototypes, grading and production support.
The London lab
Our London lab is in the Harringay Warehouse District and is part of the Fashion Enter network. It brings knitwear development and industrial knitting together for designers and brands.
Work with MAEKNIT on swatching, fully fashioned prototypes, technical packs, fit refinement, grading and small-batch production. You can collaborate in person or remotely.
London knitting equipment
Our London machine list includes SHIMA SEIKI 122FF 5gg, SWG091N2 10gg, NSSR112V 7gg and NSSSR112V 12gg, with linkers in 14gg, 12gg, 10gg, 7gg and 5gg.
Share your intended yarn, stitch structure and silhouette so we can assess the machine and gauge requirements for your sample.
From sampling to production
Use development to resolve stitch, fit and construction before planning your production run. Tell us which details are already approved and which still need exploration.
If your collection will move into a larger run, include your intended production location and quantities in the brief. Explore the options with our team before committing to the production schedule.
Prepare your project enquiry
Tell us your preferred location, garment types, number of styles, quantity per style and colour, yarn or gauge requirements, sample status, target budget and delivery date. Include whether you need development first or have an approved sample and technical pack.
