Double Knitted Interlock (Side seam free)
The most stable of all fabrics, this resists warping and retains its shape wash after wash. Our interlock fabrics are knitted in tubular form by our machines programmed to knit individual body sizes. Thus, garments are side-seam free and hug the natural curves of the body.
Rib Pointelle (Side seam free)
Our machinery is programmed to knit specific patterns within this fabric. Each garment is individually knitted with a waistband finish on the body and sleeve ends making hemming unnecessary. Constructed in tubular form, garments are side-seam free and comfortably wrap around the contours of the body.

Finest Quality Wool
Ktena Knitting Mills doesn’t just use any old wool – we use one of the highest grades of Merino Wool which is specially selected and graded. Longer than other standard wool fibres – the extra length creates a smooth and silky knitted yarn. Our Merino Wool yarns are soft to the touch and are prickle free, flame resistant and absorb body odour and moisture. After washing, not only does our Merino Wool maintain its elasticity, it also increases its warmth value!
