Permanent Information

Who are we?

We are Australia's source of quality knit and stretch fabrics for the home dressmaker.

We have a retail outlet in Perth, Western Australia, and we supply to the whole of Australia by mail order.

Twice each year, we also hold seasonal fabric showings in capital cities around Australia to show our new season's fabrics.

Knitwit Mail Order Service

Subscribers to the Knitwit mail order service receive 4 seasonal fabric portfolio mailings each year.

Each mailing includes at least 30 actual fabric swatches of knit and stretch fabrics from the best Australian and overseas sources.

Each swatch mailing includes a newsletter with seasonal pattern selections, notice of our seasonal showings around Australia and other news.

Read what mail order service subscribers say about the service here.

Although we are based in Perth, Western Australia, the majority of our customers are in the major metropolitan of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide. We also have customers in all the country and regional areas of Australia.
