The long awaited re-launch of the leading free content website for the knitting and hosiery industries is here at last. This month brings the highly anticipated re-launch of www.knittingindustry.com , which offers readers even greater benefits than before.

Multi-lingual site

Readers will continue to have free access to all of our dynamic daily content with a new easier reading layout and much improved site navigation – and the site is multi-lingual. That’s right every article can be translated into the language of your choice instantly.

In addition to daily news, we have regular features and comment on important issues and events from our team of internationally respected journalists, analysts and industry experts. And of course there is the new regular Editor’s Viewpoint.

Finding what you want

Finding what you want isn’t always easy on a website, especially one that covers a complex and diverse industry sector like ours. That’s why Knitting Industry’s content is now organised in a new searchable and logical way.

Every single article published is now tagged to relevant Technology & Processes and Information & Markets categories so that you can find what you want easily and quickly. It’s all archived – including all content since we first launched in 2008 and there is an accurate site Search facility too.

Have your say

Every single article on Knitting Industry now has a ‘Comment on the article’ section at the foot of the article where you can add your comments on articles. Use this facility to have your say - you do not even have to be registered or logged in to use this facility but we will have to approve your comments before they are published.

Bonus Features

True to form, Knitting Industry’s content can be freely read by everyone – readers do not have to register or login to use the site, as we remain committed to providing free content in an online only format.  

However, readers can now register to receive site Bonus Features, giving them the ability to receive alerts to their inbox, receive our weekly e-newsletters and sell used machinery in our brand new Used Machinery section.

Those already registered with the site can use their existing username and password to login and will receive their weekly e-newsletters as usual.

The all new Used Knitting Machines section has many additional features making it the best platform available to the industry:

Industry events

Our re-launch also sees the introduction of a brand new Exhibitions & Shows section which includes news and reports on the industry’s leading exhibitions, shows and conferences as well as a comprehensive Events Calendar with event dates and details.

Reports

Our new Buy Reports section is also searchable allowing you to find the very latest independently published high quality reports and ‘must have’ business information relevant to your industry sector and needs. Readers can buy reports in e-format by PayPal, credit card or in the conventional way.
