Wigston Framework Knitters Museum explores the way in which the knitting industry rose and became dominant in the Midlands. The museum holds an extensive collection of frameworks, which were used in the mass industrialisation of the industry, moving from a cottage industry to an operation that needed factories and organisation. The centre has many practical demonstrations of the frameworks in action.
