It all started from a technical point of view in the 1950's - with a knitting machine that could only do stripes, the founders started their journey to become the essence of knitwear. They bought the Raschel knitting machine that could only stitch in zig zag and as the famous saying goes... The rest is history!
The zig zag pattern is a layered mismatch of patterns and colours. It combines stitch, yarn and colours which are immediately recognizable.
