A group of 16 knitwear design students, led by Drs Zhou Jinyun and Lo Kawai, embarked on a seven-day study tour to Mainland China to explore yarn spinning, knitwear manufacturing, and the latest design trends. During the trip, the students and staff members visited prominent yarn mills and knitting factories in Zhejiang Province, including the Consinee Group in Ningbo; Xinao Textiles and Diwei Fashion in Tongxiang City; and DongJing Group in Cixi City, and the design centre of Diwei Fashion in Shanghai. The students had the opportunity to observe various spinning and dyeing techniques, as well as the manufacturing process of sweaters, while exploring the latest knitting technologies and facilities. The group also went to the Shanghai Spin ExpoTM which took place from 4 to 5 September. They were inspired by the trend forum and noted the latest trends in yarn at the different in-booth presentations.
