Production of Italian Knitwear
Let us introduce ourselves! Punto Maglia srl, owner of the online store puntomaglia.it, has been involved in Italian knitwear production for over 10 years.
We design and produce knitwear clothing in Italy for women and men, gauges from 3 to 14, mainly in high-quality natural fibers, such as pure extra-fine merino wool, cashmere, silk, but also cotton and the innovative lanital.
We produce an average of 35,000 garments per year and we cater to private customers as well as retailers and wholesalers, in Italy and abroad. In our catalog you can find a wide range of knitwear garments such as dresses, knit tops and sweaters, pullovers, cardigans, leggings, boleros, shrugs, jackets, coats, outerwear, and capes.
We handle the entire production cycle: concept development, prototyping, and shipping of the finished product, which is brought to market under two brands: “Leonardo” men's knitwear and “Regina di Cuori” women's knitwear.
Constant research into new fabrics, technologies, and production methods allows us to always be effective in the continuous improvement of comfort and fit in knitwear garments.
60% of production work is carried out within the company itself, while for the remaining 40% Punto Maglia relies on the collaboration of qualified and carefully selected Italian artisan workshops, in full compliance with law 166/09 to protect the 100% Made in Italy product.

Digitization and innovation in knitting processes: Punto Maglia's evolution in high-end knitwear
Punto Maglia S.r.l.'s project introduced new technologies through the purchase of the Stoll CMS 530KI machine, with PPS software, which makes it possible to plan orders and monitor them in real time. Finally, it was necessary to upgrade the workstation and websites. Thanks to these investments, productivity increased, while operating times and errors were reduced.
Stages of Italian knitwear production
- Knitting: the process of knitting the yarn to create the panels that make up the finished garment. No scissor cutting is applied in order to achieve soft shaping. Any anomalies are checked manually.
- Linking: assembling the panels to create the garment. Punto Maglia's seams are specifically designed for each model so they perfectly follow the shape of the wearer's body without creating unsightly creases or fit defects. The garments are finished entirely by hand.
- Fulling (washing the knitwear): besides giving the garment softness, this process is essential because it prevents the knitwear from becoming misshapen, shrinking, or bleeding in subsequent washes.
