This year, Natascia Sartini and Annalisa Dione, co-founders of Collettivo maglia 198, volunteered to test yarns from our new collection. That’s what they […]
Not even a yard of our precious cashmere yarn Luxor has to be wasted. This is likely what pushed DeDitte to use up two leftover Luxor balls in a bright red to add interest to her Faroese shawl (a shawl created in the peculiar shape used in the Fær Øer islands). The red stripes in this […]
