idea

our vision is to create every girls favourite knitwear, that goes well beyond season and trends, and we will be most happy when it is totally worn out!

it takes knowledge

it takes a bit of knowledge to fully appreciate mansted knit. notice the little fully fashion marks at the armhole showing that it is knit piece by piece and not cut from a roll of fabric. this gives an excellent opportunity to make unique details and pieces, only possible in knitwear, and still at affordable prices.

colours

colours are vital. our speciality are the vibrant melange colours in lambswool & cotton, where each fibre has multiple colours. we hope to cater for every girls favourite colour. we work as seriously on colour and combinations as we do on the design of the actual knitwear piece.

weight

we are experts on lightweight knitwear, but we also have a good selection of medium and heavier knitwear.

qualities

yarns are as pure as we can get them, or a mix of pure qualities, in cotton, linen/hemp, wool & yak.
we strive to have qualities that feel soft to the skin.

shapes

we love to experiment with new shapes like batwing, ponchos and oversize tops. we try on our knitwear many times, to assure that shapes are flattering & feminine.

finish & edges

the knitwear pieces are linked together, actually knit together, stitching into each stitch. this produces a very flat finish, not bulky, with hardly any seam allowance. unique to knitwear are the many special edges you can create.

buttons

we use natural buttons, mostly real shell, with a transparent matt rubberfinish.

care

yak & wool : to protect the environment – airing garments outside can be used instead of every second wash, especially if damp outside. we recommend handwash in 30°C tepid water with liquid wool soap. place garment flat while drying. use steam iron.

cotton & linen/hemp : machine wash on the wool programme, at 30°C with mild liquid soap. turn inside out. place garment flat while drying – away from the sun. use steam iron.
