Frequently Asked Questions

Q Where can I get the latest Knitwit patterns?

A Knitwit no longer produces its own pattern range.  We now carry the full New Look, KwikSew and Burda pattern ranges, and we pick out the best patterns for sewing with knit fabrics from all three. You can find our current selections here.

Q Where can I do a stretch sewing class?

A You will need to search locally, for example using Google or DuckDuckGo.

Q Where is my nearest Knitwit store?

A The Knitwit chain of franchised stores closed in 1993. It was originally founded by Vera Randall in the seventies and taught over a million Australian women that sewing with knit fabrics could be easy and fun. Today, we are the only Knitwit store in Australia, and we are the proprietors of the Knitwit trade marks.

Q Does Knitwit still franchise?

A No.
