Background

About Beth Ranson

Knitwear Designer // Product developer // Researcher // Writer // Lecturer With a wealth of experience in knitwear design and development for high end, luxury and commercial knitwear RTW, I bring expertise in developing knitted fabrics and garments from concept to production. My strong practical skills in knitwear construction and crafting pieces with hand driven flat machines and linkers aid my technical understanding of the possibilities in knitwear design. I am experienced in working with factories globally on product development for knitwear and jersey apparel, managing costing negotiations and maintaining critical paths. In my capacity as a visiting lecturer I share my knowledge and work with knitwear and textiles design students to help them realise their potential. As a writer and researcher I contribute to a variety of publications, reporting on current knitwear and knitted textiles industry developments.
