KNITTED IN GÄLLSTAD SINCE 1946
Since the start in 1946 we have been knitting high quality garments in our own factory, and this is still how things are done. In our production facility in Gällstad approximately 90% of all the knitting takes place, we also have our design- and sample department, embroidery service and a small sewing department here.
NEW LEVEL OF SUSTAINABILITY
We take yet another step forward in their sustainability work and presents a series made of yarn that is totally natural with no chemicals or dyestuff added - 100% natural!
The family firm of Ivanhoe was founded in 1946 in Gällstad, a district known as Sweden’s own knitting centre, where the traditions and pioneering spirit of fine garment making still live on. Ivanhoe manufactures and sells clothes for active people and several generations of experience and competence enable us to continuously develop both base and functional garments. We have inherited a unique passion for production and a great love for wool!
Wool is a living material that adapts and works based on your body temperature as well as internal and external prevailing conditions, something that no artificial fiber succeeds. Wool is also a renewable and natural material, which makes it one of our most sustainable material resources in the world.
WOOL IS A LIVING MATERIAL. Wool is a living material that adjusts to your body temperature. When it is warm, moisture and body heat is absorbed by the wool and transported away from the body. When it is cold, warmth is retained in the millions of microscopic air pockets naturally found in wool.
WOOL IS SELF-CLEANING Wool is easy to take care of, self-cleaning and doesn't smell bad. The keratin in wool actually breaks down the bad smelling bacteria from your skin naturally.
MICRON A micron (micrometre) is the measurement used to express the diameter of a wool fibre. The lower microns are the finer and softer are the fibres. Micron counts typically range from around 18 to 35. For most people wool garments with a micron count of 26 can be worn directly to skin.
WARM WHEN WET When wool absorbs moisture, it produces heat so it will keep you warm even when it's wet. Wool can absorb 30% of it’s own weight in moisture without feeling damp.
