From here, Twomax produced their upmarket knitwear which was sold by the likes of Selfridges, House of Fraser and Harrods. Their products were seen as being particularly fashionable in the 1960s and 1970s, but by the start of the 1980s the business was in decline and it soon closed. The building remained and is currenty being converted into residential housing.
The former Twomax factory on Old Rutherglen Road in the Gorbals area of Glasgow. Originally built as a cotton mill in 1817, it was taken over by Twomax, a Glasgow-based knitwear manufacturer, in the 1920s. Twomax was started in a disused pub in the Bridgeton by Hugh McClure and Donald McIntosh (the two Macs from which its name was derived), before moving to this location.

I absolutely adore #knitwear designer Kate Davies. Not only does she write beautiful patterns but she writes such interesting articles on knitting in history. Check out this article https://katedaviesdesigns.com/2021/07/28/sock-of-the-week-no-10/ on sock knitting in Wales #knitting #Wales #history #socks
Reader… I wove in the ends. My first knitting project of 2024 is complete, and the next is already on the needles 
I love cardigans. Shawl collars, cowichans, mohair... all kinds of cardigans, really. So here's an inspiration album.
Wife's just reminded me of one of her weird characteristics. She has an aversion to buttons on knitwear. She'll almost shudder if I point at a cardigan when we're out. I'm thinking she's overdue some hypnotic regression therapy to find out where, when, and how this bizarre behaviour developed.

#FlashbackThursday Back in 2014 I designed my Stormy Seas shawl. As it goes, my pattern template has since evolved. So, I brought the English version of the pattern in line with the newer ones and included links to tutorials where appropriate
