THE ÄNG.
KNITTING FACTORY.
In a small town called Marbäck just outside Ulricehamn, Sweden, you find a state of the art knitting factory: Marbäck Tricot. Established in 1965 they have evolved and through the years refined the craftsmanship of knitting, it feels extremely satisfying to be able to use their fabrics for our Lupin t-shirt and Lav neck warmer.
The fabric that we use and that we have decided to call Äng is knitted out of 96 individual threads that all interlink and create this wonderful tricot. Each thread is lightly waxed to enable it to run smoothly through the knitting machine. Once knitted it will it is washed and dyed, a process that gives it colour, removes the wax, and gives the fabric a really smooth surface.
The knitting machines are carefully monitored ensuring the highest possible quality and all finished fabrics go through exacting quality controls before being sent to the sewing factory.
Even though the knitting procedure it extremely impressive and hard to grasp, it is the blend of fibres in each thread that makes all the difference. The combination Merino wool and Tencel™ is simply amazing and has to be experienced.
