Our Process
At OzKnit we have an inhouse design and pattern making team that can create a product exclusive to your business.
To customise your product, we offer a range of yarn types and colours to choose from. Plus, we can create a wide range of knit variations including jacquard, drop needle and cable knits.
Once your design has been finalised our production team will make a preproduction sample for your approval and to guarantee your satisfaction.
Upon approval, our Production team will then commence making your order right here in our modern factory in Eagle Farm, Brisbane.
