About the "Archivi Aperti Punti Maglieria" Knit Event at Milano Trend
In October 2025, Milano Trend held an event called "Archivi Aperti Punti Maglieria" (Open Archives of Knit Fabrics) at their showroom to showcase the latest knit materials.
This was the first joint project between yarnbank® and Milano Trend, featuring a special section with recommended knit fabrics from yarn manufacturers participating in yarnbank®.
Many designers from various brands attended the event, with particular interest in high-quality materials such as Japanese paper and luxurious cashmere, as well as textured knits with rich, distinctive surfaces.
Visitors also appreciated being able to check detailed information about these same materials on the yarnbank® website, and many signed up for yarnbank® right there at the event.
Shaping the Future of Knit
Through the collaboration between yarnbank® and Milano Trend, we will continue to support knitwear production and contribute to revitalizing the fashion industry.
We will keep providing valuable information to assist you, and we are thankful for your continued support.
