GAUGE
The name Gauge refers to a technical knitting term that measures how many needles per inch are used on a knitting machine. A higher gauge produces a finer, lighter fabric, while a lower gauge creates a chunkier, more textured knit.
Our knitwear is made from 100% wool — designed in Denmark with focus on choosing the right stitch, gauge, tension and yarn for each style. Produced by skilled knitters on a family-owned knitting manufactory in Italy.

The alpaca yarn has following certificates: Oeko-Tex Standard 100 (no of harmful substances for human beings), RAS (Responsible Alpaca Standard)

All Gauges garments are produced on a family-owned knitting manufactory in Carpi, Italy. The knitting is done on modern Stoll knitting machines, all is knitted “fully fashion” (means knitted in shape) and linked together for giving each garment a good finish and flexible seams. This production method leaves no leftover or cut-offs. The factory uses 100% renewable energy for its production plant and holds a SA8000 certificate.
