Affordable European Quality Knit Fabrics
Focused on producing high quality knits for 25 years, Design Knit, Inc. is a family-owned business that has established itself as a premier domestic knitter of high quality novelty knits at affordable prices. The company produces domestically in its mill in Los Angeles, and has gained a distinguished reputation as a manufacturer of better, designer, and contemporary knit fabrics, ranging from sheer to heavy weights. Prices range from low to high, depending on the fiber content.

Because of its success, Design Knit has recently doubled the size of its original facility. The company has also expanded its staff, in order to better accommodate its growing clientele of manufacturers and retailers demanding high quality knit fabrics for their apparel products. As a knit-to-order mill, Design Knit stocks fabric only for sampling and testing purposes during the initial phase, and then produces knit-to-order yardage, based on its customers specifications.

Design Knit Customer Service
Design Knit is constantly in product development mode. In order to separate themselves from other knitters in the market, the product development and design team is constantly forging ahead and developing new yarn blends that are innovative, interesting and unique. Besides offering basic knit constructions, it is their goal to provide exciting textural blends that can't be found anywhere else in the market. The Design Knit team works closely with its yarn suppliers, and travels the globe, researching the markets in various countries to acquire the inspiration necessary for designing the high-end looks that represent the Design Knit image.

Design Knit works closely with its customers, who can often be considered part of Design Knit's extended family. In many cases, the Design Knit product development team refines and perfects exclusive fabrics, and works right alongside its clients' designers and fabric buyers on a creative level. Design Knit customers also rely on the expertise of the Design Knit team for advice in developing a specific fabric for a particular application. Through everything that is developed, the design team focuses on achieving a very high-end look for its European inspired finished fabrics.
