Ktena Knitting Mills

I have purchased numerous merino baselayers from several different brands and Ktena, to me, is the best by a significant margin. Simply excellent quality products, excellent service and excellent after sales support. Show details

Went to factory shop where I found excellent friendly service from Denise. My pure merino wool thermals are beautifully soft and so warm for our Melbourne winters. Far superior than any others I’ve bought before. Getting behind Aussie made & local manufacturers. Very happy customer:)

I am delighted with my short- sleeved cotton and wool thermal. It is extremely well made, fits perfectly and excels at keeping me warm on these cold mornings. The "sensitive" design works! It doesn't aggravate my psoriasis. This company makes quality products. Show details

Thank you for consistently producing such excellent wool products. I’ve been a customer for years and truly appreciate your quality. Please continue making them. Show details

Been buying them for years – Wouldn't be without them during a Melbourne Winter! Just ordered a couple for this year's replacements. Purchased from the mill and on-line. Staff friendly and helpful. Show details

Not great for me – I bought the Ktena thermal fleece leggings and long sleeve crew neck top. They are so itchy I cannot possibly wear them. I recommend for those of you out there that cannot wear wool against your skin do not buy these as they itch like hell. Trust your instincts and don't believe the marketing hype. Lost my money. Also the company emailed me for a… Read more

review. Gave my honest opinion and experience. My review never saw the light of day on their website. Typical of online shopping, only want their egos stroked, rather than constructive feedback.

Fabulous thermal underwear. Pure merino. Beautifully warm. Great for sensitive skin. Manufacture but also sell direct – What a find. SOooooo lucky to discover these people via Google. Ktena are as Aussie as they come. Been around for decades. Their biggest customers are retail stores but I found they also sell directly to the public. Wonderful customer care. Short. Long. Singlets. Long johns. I ended up buying TEN items and the price (low) waa amazing.… Read more

Pure Australian merino wool. Warm and toasty in the coldest winter without leaving you hot and clammy. Sorry, but wayyyyyy better than Kathmandu, MacPac et al.

Oakleigh. Melbourne. I think they do online, but I went it person. Owners (a couple) are beautiful people.

So glad I found you.

Love Australian – Beautiful Aust Made woollen under garments; love the lace motive. Wouldn’t buy anywhere else. Staff amazing.; go the extra mile. Thank you Show details

Very happy – Merino skins of which I now have six, are very well made and warm. Delivery was fast. Very happy to have found an Australian made merino range of winter underwear. Show details

thumbs up – We liked the look of these great value merino woollen skins on the website, so we took the drive from Brunswick to Oakleigh. It was well worth the trip. The quality was excellent, and even better value than on the website. Felt good buying Australian. And it's right around the corner from some amazing Greek cake shops, which made the trip fun. Friendly staff. Would highly recommend this product. Show details

excellent quality locally made in Melbourne! – I have been buying cosy merino Ktena products for thirty years - they have the old favourite classic spencers and a great new range of thermal skins, merino wool leggings and many other styles ... all made with fine craftsmanship from excellent quality materials. Their online service is great, but for a real treat, visit their factory shop at 20… Read more

Burlington St Oakleigh - where you can pick up some samples and bargains alongside the regular items. The staff are very helpful and really know their products. A great Melbourne institution!

Australia made – Am old enough to remember Melbourne with its now closed clothing factories,Roger David ,GLO weave Pelaco etc.What a pleasure to find a Knitting Mill in Oakleigh ,bought two wool singlets rather than patronising some Asian sweat shop,in addition the products are first class Show details

Best Of The Best – The Merino Skins Brand is the best woollen thermal you can get and the best value easily beats any other branded thermal eg Icebreaker in quality and value. I buy the white Skins and dye them with my favorite colors. Show details

The best woollen thermals! – I have bought woollen thermals from quite a few different suppliers over many years. Some are OK and some are absolute rubbish! And then there is Ktena Knitting Mills, right here in Melbourne. Once you wear Ktena products you will never go back to anything else! They are by far the very best. Not itchy, fantastically warm and machine washable… Read more

(wool cycle of course!) And on top of that the clever style of knit means they last a very long time.

So, if you want the very best in beautiful, comfortable woollen thermals, do what I do, only buy Ktena!
