FROM FIBRE TO FINISHED PIECE

An immersive journey into the art and industry of knitwear.

At Maison Tricot, we translate fifty years of knitwear expertise into an immersive learning experience — connecting creativity, craft, and industry insight.

Led by a team with international experience across both fashion and interior, our masterclass guides participants through the complete process — from yarn to finished piece.

Over the years, we’ve collaborated with leading brands such as Dries Van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, Raf Simons, Bellerose, Tribù, and Serax, offering a refined perspective on contemporary knitwear and the realities behind it.

OUR APPROACH

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

  • 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.

  • 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 clear understanding of the complete knitwear process — from concept to production.

  • Practical insight into yarns, stitches, finishing, and sustainability.

  • Professional tools and templates connecting creativity with efficiency.
