Twice a year, KNITWEAR LAB hosts an in-house mini yarn fair at its own LAB. This time, on Thursday, February 20th, the 9th edition of the YARN SHOW will showcase the Spring/Summer 2026 yarn collections, represented by four yarn agents.

With a great yarn supplier collection and our inspiring physical and virtual knitwear library, we offer clients the first steps to great design, development, and production of high-quality knitwear. We advise and guide design teams and individual designers with the right yarn choices to ensure a smooth process. We combine material research with the latest knitwear technologies to create smart knitwear solutions. Our team offers consultancy on all aspects of designing, developing, and producing knitwear products, utilizing our Virtual Knitting method and extensive expertise.

At our LAB, our team develops prototypes and runs small-scale productions using sustainable methods, smart textiles, and 3D knitting techniques. Combined with our exceptional craftsmanship, we create high-end knitwear. We are committed to ethical knitwear, using biodegradable, regenerated, beautiful long-lasting materials and certified yarns, with an emphasis on zero-waste production.
