Typical Comments:
“I am a professor at Ege University Textile Engineering
Department. I have various papers and
books in the knitting area. Prof. Oktem
gave your “Warp Knit Fabrics Technologies” book to me. I believe it is one of the best books in the
warp knitting area. Your technique is
extremely effective and simple. The
book is very well organized and presented.
I will highly recommend this book to my students and my colleagues. Thank you very much for your contributions
to the knitting sector.”
