We collaborate closely with our trusted production partners in Germany and Poland, offering an extensive range of gauges, from coarse to fine, backed by a comprehensive suite of advanced production equipment.

This approach allows us to remain completely flexible, catering to any need — from one-of-a-kind prototypes to large-scale production.

what we do

trend research & design

At the heart of our studio lies a deep-seated knowledge and love for the art of knitting. We combine the unique skills of both a knitting designer and a technician, roles traditionally held apart, to foster a hands-on, creative process that seamlessly integrates design and technology, allowing them to work together harmoniously.

swatching & prototyping

Our expertise spans prototyping and swatch development, offering a valuable bridge to communicate your vision to clients or to refine your concept. Furthermore, prototypes can be offered through a presale model prior to full-scale production, minimizing both risk and cost — an ideal solution tailored to the needs of for small brands and start ups.
