1977-1990
When he founded Jersey Lomellina in the mid-1970s, Giuseppe Colnaghi was quick to perceive a new challenge: to move beyond the traditional circular knit fabrics of the time and create a more versatile textile product.
His intuition, however, was ahead of its time, as the circular frames used in those years were not compatible with elastomers so he and his collaborators searched for a way to modify the machinery and together turn this pioneering vision into reality.
An incredible team effort that changed the circular knitting market forever and led to the creation of the first circular stretch fabrics.
