The knitting factory Helmut Peterseim in Mühlhausen turned 30 on December 14th. We warmly congratulate on the company anniversary! Industrial production of textiles and clothing is still an exception in Germany today. And the knitting factory in Thuringia is such an exception. Shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990, Helmut Peterseim founded Peterseim Strickwaren GmbH. It was time to take advantage of new opportunities and turn a vision into a company. Over the years, the knitting manufacturer had to adapt its structures and products, be open to new possibilities, demonstrate a willingness to innovation and show readiness for change. With this, Helmut Peterseim managed to defy all adversities in the textile sector. Before he retired, in 2017 he handed the company over to a group of shareholders who also represent his views of tradition, value and innovation. High-quality production of knitwear in Germany as sustainable action in the time of the new economy. Together with their loyal employees, they pursue their motivation "presence consists in niches and intrinsic value" and this motivation is what makes the company so successful.

30 years of knitting from Germany - that deserves a big applause. Congratulations!

Here you can read how the company Peterseim Strickwaren GmbH looks back on a successful existence with a lot of creativity and perseverance and what drives it further on.

Anniversary publication - 30 years of textile production in Mühlhausen, Thuringia

Shortly after the new year 2020 started, the virus pandemic Covid-19 spread across the world. The pandemic has a huge impact on all areas of our lives. The fashion industry in particular had to react quickly in order to hold the existing supply chain framework together. We are now in the last month of 2020. The corona pandemic still has the world under control, but we are slowly learning to deal with it, to continue to operate creatively and to defy the situation through value in material and quality in production.

We asked our two business partners, the Peterseim knitting mill in Mühlhausen and the Woolyarns spinning mill in New Zealand, about their summary of the effects of the corona pandemic. Despite all the difficulties, we stick together and look forward to the new year 2021!

In Sweden, more and more people are interested in ecologically and fairly produced fashion. According to the "Target Market Analysis Green Shopping in Sweden" by the German-Swedish Chamber of Commerce, the purchase decision for many Swedes does not only depend on the design, but the factors quality and sustainability also play a major role.

We took part in a digital business trip to Sweden from 10.11.20 to 12.11.20 as part of the BMWi market development program. Together with other fashion brands from the sustainable sector, the current trends and developments in the Swedish fashion industry were discussed and contacts to retailers were established.

We are celebrating a year of GRÜNER KNOPF together with Brigitte magazine and congratulate all pioneers who have worked with great commitment for this governmental seal and have now been able to carry this certificate since 09.09.2019.

For us, sustainability begins with the design and that includes sustainable favorite items for on the way, such as our shrug combined with a Grüner Knopf T-shirt.

We are one of the first 27 companies to be awarded the Grüner Knopf Certificate by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development on September 9th. Just in time for the introduction of the state's Grüner Knopf seal, we are launching our third label - pos.sei.mo organic clothing. Women's and men's T-shirts made from soft organic cotton are the first products to be allowed to bear the Grüner Knopf seal. With the additional IVN Best and GOTS certifications, our textiles meet the requirements of the govermental seal. The raw material cotton is obtained in organic agriculture from natural seeds, without artificial fertilizers and pesticides. The processing and manufacture of the cotton is carried out according to the ecological and sustainable guidelines of IVN Best and GOTS. The Grüner Knopf seal makes it easier for consumers to find their way around textiles that are produced in a socially and ecologically sustainable manner.

What is pilling? We speak of pilling when small fibers loosen from the wool due to friction while wearing an item of clothing and form pebbles. What about pilling with our products? We wanted to know and sent knitting samples to a laboratory. With the Martindale method, our two yarn blends were tested according to the pilling behavior DIN EN ISO 12945-2. The knitting samples were subjected to a mechanical friction of 1000 turns against each other. Our yarn mix of merino, possum fibre and silk achieved only a slight and isolated pod formation on the wool material with this high number of tours. The cashmere-possum fibre-silk mixture showed no change with the same number of tours. The very positive result is due to the possum fibre. This component in our mixture ensures that the nodule formation remains in the range of the natural low-pilling effect. This means that our knitwear will retain its place in the wardrobe of every wool lover for a long time.

Introduced predators such as rats, ermines and possums have long threatened the vegetation and wildlife in New Zealand. With 'Predator Free 2050', the government-supported program, new research approaches and technologies are to be developed. With the help of this program and the existing methods, native species protection is to be sustainably protected and freed from predators.

Nature conservation plays just as important a role in our company as the fair production of textiles. With the use of possum hair in our yarn we would like to draw attention to the threatened habitat of plants and animals in this fascinating country.

The article was made available to us with the kind support of 360 Grad New Zealand (1/2019).

Last year we launched the Summit by pos.sei.mo label with four knitting models made from the yarn mixture cashmere, possum fibre and silk. A new mix of materials that is characterized by pure lightness and extreme softness. Not only did our customers like it, we also had fun experimenting with the innovative yarn mix in the knitting design. We are delighted to start the new year 2019 with the pos.sei.mo New Zealand Knitwear label, with the first Summit collection made of cashmere, possum fibre and silk. The highlights of the Summit by pos.sei.mo collection are contrasting motifs and sleeveless knitwear.

Spring is in the starting blocks. The icy temperatures are over, the snow begins to melt and lures the first buds on the branches. With the warm rays of the sun, the flowers show their delicate colors and leave behind the monochrome winter landscape. For our new fashion label Summit by pos.sei.mo, we were inspired by the delicate colors of spring. In the cool silver color and the pastel bloom we are starting the spring with a new yarn mix. The fine cashmere-possum-silk mix makes the knit even softer and light as a feather. What is so special about this spring companion? Find it out in the current magazine of natural nature.
