All the fine animal fibres, starting from wool, are at the centre of the attention in our production processes that involve treatments whose target is to guarantee the best duration of quality in time. Such as, for example, treatments for unshrinkability that allow machine wash and preserve nonallergenic, waterproof, mothproof and silky clothes.

Hand knitting cycle is complete including also vegetal fibres such as cotton, linen, bamboo and canvas to which one can add, single or mixed, artificial or synthetic fibres that has reached excellent quality levels that sometimes overcome nature itself.
