I´m tyring to make a knitting texture. this picture shows a scan i made.

is there a possibilty to make a depth made out of it?
shader map, crazybump and photoshop don´t work for me to make a proper displacement map which i can use in arnold.

this is a version a made in photoshop (doesn´t work wll in arnold)
and this is approach in c4d (depthmap)

i´m not really statisfied with the result this map gives me
does someone has experience with creating good knitting textures`?
and what do i have to be aware of when creating specular and normal map to get a good looking shader?
thank you guys!
btw.: the real size of the depthmap is 8k
