A 3-DAY INTENSIVE FOR PROFESSIONALS IN FASHION & INTERIOR


Led by a team of experts with over 50 years of international experience in knitwear, this masterclass offers a unique, hands-on journey through the full knitwear process — from yarn to finished product. Over the years, we've collaborated with leading brands such as Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, Raf Simons, Bellerose, Tribù, and Serax — giving us a refined understanding of the demands across both fashion and interior.
The three modules are spread across three Fridays in September, October, and November — with flexible date options to suit your professional schedule. Tailored and in-company formats available on request.

OUR APPROACH

During a spreaded 3 day masterclass, each topic is explored through a hybrid learning approach that combines insight, hands-on experience, and market reflection.

INSIGHT

We begin with a clear theoretical framework to anchor each topic. This framework includes relevant terminology, technical foundations, and strategic context.

EXPERIENCE

Theory is immediately translated into practice. Participants engage in focused exercises such as knitting, material testing, and hand-feel assessments in our fully equipped knit studio.

MARKET REFLECTION

Every element is critically examined through a market lens. Curated case studies, pricing analysis, and a guided visit to an industrial knitwear factory provide real-world context and commercial relevance.

WHAT YOU’LL TAKE AWAY

  • A complete, experience-based understanding of the full knitwear process — from yarn to finished product.

  • Strategic insight into how to integrate knitwear into your product range, with technical confidence and market awareness.

  • Practical tools — including a masterclass workbook, sample pack, and a toolkit with pricing, planning, and factory briefing templates.
