Ever wanted to visit a local knitting mill? We recently visited the team at MTK Australia to view their surplus fabrics and watch their machines in action. It’s a beautiful experience to see the people, materials, skills and passion behind the fabrics we wear in everyday life. Come with us as we capture a few of the processes involved in milling fabrics locally.
MTK’s surplus knit fabrics are available to source via Circular Sourcing. So if you have been looking for a beautiful, high quality rib or jersey, that supports our local textile industry head to their shop – here.
