knit futures

Knit Futures is a symposium to energize the advancement of knitting to support people, environment, and place across disciplines, and to engage researchers from both academia and industry for conversation, knowledge exchange and collaboration. The first KnitFUTURES event was held March 20-22, 2024, in Rockwell Hall on the Kent Campus. We welcomed attendees from 24 universities 7 countries and 23 companies for an inspiring, educational and exciting three days. 

The second biannual KnitFUTURES event is scheduled for March 5 and 6, 2026, at the School of Fashion KnitLAB. We are looking forward to another impactful event and hope you can join us! Find more information here: KnitFUTURES
