We offer a 5-day intensive, during which you will learn programming and industrial knitting. This practice-based course enables you to explore the endless possibilities of sustainable knitwear innovation and provide general knowledge of industrial knitting and knitwear product development.
THE PROGRAM
Learn all you need to know about designing, programming and manufacturing industrial knitwear. In our 5-day course you will be introduced to the Create Plus software and work with STOLL ADF and 530HP knitting machines at our KNITWEAR LAB in Almere (20 min from Amsterdam). During the course you’ll grow into a better knitwear designer, manager, or teacher. You learn how to communicate in depth with your knitwear suppliers, designers, technicians or students.
