The Knitting Room – the heart of our factory
The heart of our factory is the Knitting Room. All lined up, our machines knits and knits – and knits. Nonstop from early Monday morning to Friday afternoon. This is where we knit all our sweaters, jackets and accessories, except for our socks and our base layer and superfine garments.
Some of our wool garments are so popular they have their own dedicated knitting machine. Other machines effortlessly swap between models and patterns, based on sales and demand.
Our knitting operators are working shift jobs. Three knitting machine operators can service up to 21 knitting machines.
Did you know that before we got our knitting machines, we had housewives spread all over our country knitting finished sweaters for us? It sounds like something we have dreamt up but it’s completely true.
Our production in Norway provides for several advantages. The most obvious is the close overview we maintain of quality, working conditions, and the environmental impact of our own facilities. Just as important is the ability to continuously adjust our production to current demand. Thus, overproduction and its economic and environmental disadvantages are averted.
