Knitwear Lab develops smart technological applications for knitwear. At its Lab in Almere, the Netherlands, its team of programmers and designers develop prototypes and run small productions. The team of knitwear specialists combine material research with the latest knitwear technologies.
For example, Knitwear Lab has developed virtual kitting, a method of industrial knitwear development, which has the potential to create new opportunities for sustainable, cost-efficient and design-driven sample development and knitwear production. Using Knitwear Lab’s extensive knitwear knowledge combined with the latest 3D software and Stoll Create Plus, a massive waste from sample and pre-production stages can be reduced.
In episode 104 of WTiN’s Textile Innovation Podcast, we speak to founder Thijs Verhaar owner of Knitwear Lab and Lyske Gais, founder of virtual knitting, about the potential for digital solutions in the knitwear sector.
We explore how the sector has developed and the potential for modern technologies moving forward. Knitwear Lab offers a huge range of educational resources and in January 2025 will launch a funding round, to enhance its offering and training opportunities.
