Knitted Garments, Comfortable and Warm

The birthplace of the knitting craft likely lies in Asia Minor. From Syria, Israel, Persia, or Jordan, knitted garments have spread widely and exerted their influence globally. In Egypt, knitted socks dating back to the 4th to 6th century have been found. Space was left between the big toe and the second toe to accommodate sandal straps. In Europe, knitting needles dating back around 1700 years have been discovered. During the medieval period, knitted garments were initially assembled from multiple parts. Circular knitting, as we know it today, was developed later. The first knitting machine emerged as early as the 16th century, and by the 19th century, there was the 'full-fashioned machine,' mechanically driven.

Knitted garments for an elegant appearance

Knitted garments are generally made of wool, wonderfully warm, and extremely suitable for colder days. Knitwear includes items such as coats, jackets, scarves, and sweaters. The natural material gives knitted clothing a soft and amiable character, creates an elegant impression, and is suitable for any occasion. Wool has a strong insulating function, keeping warmth in and doesn't easily feel damp. High-quality, fine merino wool is among the best of its kind and originates from Spain.
