BACKGROUND TO THE COMPANY
Established in 1990, Crystal Knitwear is an independent family run business with over 30 years of experience in the textile manufacturing industry.
We are British knitwear manufacturers specialising in bespoke knitwear. By carefully selecting natural fibres such as British wool we enhance the durability and sustainability of our knitwear. Our British wool yarns are sourced in the United Kingdom and the varied palette of colours is offered in our collection.
RICHMOND BRAND
We have our own in-house label ‘Richmond Knitwear’, a collection of our own designs, the full stocked collection is available on the British Wool website.
MADE IN THE UK
Our knitwear has explicitly always been ‘Made in Mansfield’ since 1990. We are rightly proud of our home town which has a long heritage in knitwear and textiles. All steps of the process, from initial design to packing are completed here in the UK, creating a 100% genuine British product.
WORKING WITH BRITISH WOOL
We are an official licensee of British Wool, this ensures that our British Wool yarn is traceable and in turn helps supports our British wool sheep farmers.
