how much would i love to say “there are no limits”, but the beauty of our work emerges from exactly those limitations.

we design, manufacture and finish the entirety of our knitwear locally.
producing in-house is a lot of work and calls for exploration, and material testing. it’s also testing our patience in the meantime. luckily, the one big lesson knitting can teach you is patience itself.

good stories kinda write themselves, you just have to actually write them.

knitting has for the longest time been a slow game. a long con against the thread and our own patience. today, here at softwerk, we knit the heavy work with an automated knitting machine.
but our garment’s design process is not as digital as you might expect.

there is not this one, infinitely repeatable process, but careful tweaking and testing.

every time.

each of our designs grows naturally, just as knit does. row by row, stitch by stitch, we meticulously plan our garments, always keeping material, fit, comfort and shape in mind.

just how no two materials ever behave the same, each garment leaves our studio finished by hand, unique.
we make sure all our products truly match their vision before we send them on their way, into your hands, onto your bodies.

limited by our machine’s capabilities (and sometimes the laws of physics), we are constantly developing solutions, work-arounds and tricks to make our ideas become knit reality.
Our designs are always a product of this process, there is no shortcut to fantastic clothing.

Seeing them as part of the process, we embrace limitations, as they are very likely leading to something worth exploring.
