Interknit Branberry

Founded in Clunes in 1939, Interknit|Branberry stands as Victoria’s last rural commercial knitting mill. Their knits are crafted on-site, transforming a cone of yarn (or several cones) into a finished jumper or blanket.

With over 24 specialised knitting machines and a fully equipped sewing room, Interknit|Branberry produces everything from wool fashion, baby and homewares to sporting club wear, school wear and even fire-retardant high-visibility safety jumpers.

Their shop, open six days a week, offers a variety of genuine Made in Ballarat Australian merino wool gifts and souvenirs, along with a wide range of fashion jumpers from their own brands: Ballarat Gold, WorkSmart, Outdoor, Trakker and Interknit|Branberry. They also offer custom personalised baby blankets and throws as well as garment decoration services (including embroidery and garment printing), for jobs big and small. The shop provides free off-street parking, toilet facilities, and is wheelchair and pram friendly. A small toy corner keeps children entertained while adults browse.

The shop fronts the factory where, during the week, skilled staff prepare knitwear orders.

Visit them and you might find a bargain factory second, meet the owners, or even catch a glimpse of the manufacturing process.

Tours are available upon request. Please ensure all attendees wear enclosed footwear at all times.
