What Knitwise is
Knitwise is a business service for designing, making, and fulfilling custom knitwear on demand. Its browser-based Design Maker accepts JPG, JPEG, and PNG artwork, then turns it into a knit design using no more than four colors. A 3D mockup lets you inspect the result and adjust scale and placement for each size. Products listed by Knitwise include sweaters, cardigans, vests, beanies, blankets, and personalized portrait sweaters. The company says jacquard knitting puts designs into the fabric instead of printing them. Shopify, Order Desk, and Fourthwall integrations connect selling with fulfillment. Knitwise says it knits, quality-checks, and ships orders globally, with typical production taking 7–14 days. Production currently takes place in China at WRAP- and Elevate-certified factories. Items are made to order, and packing and shipping materials are described as fully recyclable. A free Design Maker plan allows unlimited drafts; finished knitwear is paid for when ordered.
