Precious Knits – Look Book PRECIOUS KNITS – LOOK BOOK REGINA MOESSMER & BC GARN #1 PRECIOUS KNITS – LOOK BOOK REGINA MOESSMER & BC GARN EDITORIAL It‘s about those short moments of happiness when we think of something that gives us joy: Having discovered this beautiful new wool. The decision for the perfect color. The smell of little sheep. Knitting the first rows. Testing whether the wool is genuinely soft on your cheek. Knitting until late … The passion for wool and design allows us to make new plans daily. It offers lifeblood, love, friends, all wrapped in one. It makes us exceedingly happy, it is real! We are free to hold our dream in our hands. With this booklet we want to add another point to the list of these moments. A little thing which is not quite that little: The right design. With numerous ideas around BC Garn and the associated instructions, the ecologically responsible production of the yarns and the carefully picked selection of colors are the heart of this booklet. With each page we want you to feel a little bit of this joy, which has accompanied us so intensively during the creation process. We sincerely thank all our loved ones and supporters, and of course you – our readers.

Timeless knitwear, designed in my favourite top-down construction, allows me to create as I go, while perfecting the fi t at the same time. My pieces look elegantly minimalistic, yet reveal clever details while they are knitted and worn. My personal style is infl uenced by my background as an interior designer, my passion for modern art, the bustling city of Munich, with its exciting fashion vibe, and the south of Bavaria, with its inspiring landscape and soothing tranquillity. For me BC Garn combines a top quality yarn product with an ex- tremely cool and modern Scandinavian design aesthetic and colors, that fi t my personal taste and designs perfectly. My personal favourite is SEMILLA CABLÉ because of its wonderful softness of course, but also because the chain-like structure gives each garment and accessory a glorious lightweight and airy quality. My favourite pattern must be the JOEL cardigan made with BC Garn BABY ALPACA! The design embraces the yarn perfectly, through cosiness, structure, stitch defi nition and clean modern design. www.reginamoessmerdesign.de 40 ABOUT THE YARNS BC Garn is a yarn brand that was founded some 20 years ago in Denmark by Bo Carstensen, the son of a weaver and a rug wool trader. His love for natural fibres and a wide color range is reflected in the range of yarns. Today the brand is owned by Britta and Carsten Kremke, who continue the yarn range in the tradition of the original founder, focussing on high quality organic yarns. HAMELTON TWEED 1 A soft, slightly shiny tweed wool with a little bit of Viscose to add some drapiness, spun in Italy. BABY ALPACA A very light, super soft pure Alpaca yarn with an incredible long yardage from South America. LOCH LOMOND A rustic, yet soft, voluminous GOTS certified organic Tweed Wool sourced in South America. SEMILLA CABLÉ A cable spun pure organic wool for the certain touch of springiness, spun in Italy. SEMILLA GROSSO A tightly spun pure organic wool, nice and thick for fast results, spun in Italy. SARAH TWEED A blend of Silk and Wool that combines the best of both worlds: the shine of the silk and the woolly touch of pure wool. The Tweed naps add to the interesting look of this Italian spun yarn. SEMILLA MELANGE A rustique, yet soft, voluminous GOTS certified organic pure wool sourced in South America. SOFT SILK A pure Bourette Silk with the typical look and feel of this kind of silk: it is not shiny like mulberry silk, but feels kind of woolly with great climate properties. BIO BALANCE An all-year yarn spun from GOTS certified organic wool with cotton, soft but not hairy, ideal for sensitive skins. www.bcgarn.com 41 WHERE CAN YOU BUY MY PATTERNS?

  • Silk Ways - Ancient Threads and Modern Networks
    Silk ways - Ancient threads and modern networks By Ole Zethner and Rie Koustrup Koustrup & Co. 2007 Raw English translation of Danish text “Silkens veje – gamle tråde og nye netværk” by Ole Zethner. Numbers placed after each chapter refer to page numbers in the book. 1 Introduction Page 5 In more than 5.000 years people have found it pleasant to wear clothes of silk. Silk is cool in the summer, warm in the winter, but always comfortable. It is light, but at the same time strong, and the skin can breathe through silk. And silk is delightful for the eye – and for the fingers. Natural silk is spun by larvae of the silk moth. When the larva is going to pupate, is spins a case of silk around itself. Inside this case, the cocoon, the larva develops into a pupa and at last - if it is permitted to do it - into an adult moth. Often the larvae are called silk worms. However, zoologically the larvae have nothing to do with worms, as the moths are insects. Hence, we use the name silk larvae. Apart from a short description of wild silk butterflies, this book is about the mulberry silk moth, who’s larvae feed on leaves of the mulberry tree. The nature photographer Gerth Hansen has photographed the biological development, and the most important part-processes of silk production and the particular qualities of silk are accounted for. The WAYS OF SILK tells about the geographical silk roads, along which the silk was dispersed. Also, the importance of silk in the history of civilisation is treated.

  • Dictionary of Textiles by Harmuth Louis
    PICTIONI\RY GIFT OF J DICTIONARY OF TEXTILES B Y LOUIS HARMUTH FASHION EDITOR OF "WOMEN'S WEAR" 1915 FAIRCHILD PUBLISHING COMPANY NEW YORK FAIRCHILD PUBIISHING CO, Copyright 1915. PREFACE The tendency in modern books of a technical character undoubtedly in- clines very strongly toward encyclopedic and dictionary forms. The cry for the saving of lime calls for books in compact form with information handy at a moment's notice. The present DICTIONARY is the result of 7'/2 years of collecting and compiling information, gained to a large extent in connection with my work on the Daily Trade Record and Women's Wear. With over 6,600 terms and definitions contained in it, this DICTIONARY is as nearly com- plete, in number of terms strictly relating to textile fibres and fabrics, as it is possible for a work of this kind to be. It was my desire to present in the DICTIONARY and within as small compass as practical the largest number of terms and definitions possible, re- lating to textiles from the fibres to the finished fabrics and everything which goes into them in the course of the manufacture. An interesting part of the DIC- TIONARY contains names of fabrics, now obsolete, with as complete a de- scription of their character as it was possible to find in various old laws, wills, lists and in the technical literature. Owing to the fact that manufacturers con- stantly have recourse to some obsolete fabric in search of new effects, details of manufacturing and finishing of such materials ought to be interesting.

Drawing from literature on comparative capitalism which focuses on the processes of production, this dissertation examines markets through deconstructing production to the level of specific commodities. It utilizes a value chain framework by beginning with the cultivation of cotton, wool and silk agricultural commodities, and tracing them through China’s textile and garment industries and into domestic and foreign trade.
