How we became what we are
Something like the WALK story
What do you do with your life when you have studied biology and business administration and then also trained as a fashion tailor? Of course, you start your own business with a hand-dyed wool company. That was also easy to combine with my children, who were still young at the time. Because of course I started my first attempts at dyeing wool in the kitchen at home. After that couldn't last long because nobody wanted to wait to eat until the last corner had been meticulously cleaned of any dye residue and the business started to grow, the decision was clear: WALK COLLECTION will be professionalized. With the first employee in 2013, we went to our first knitting fair in Brighton in the same year with a wonderful knitting pattern in our luggage - created in cooperation with Joji Locatelli from Argentina. Today there are five of us, we bring out new colour collections every year and ship our wool from Iceland to New Zealand and from Japan to Hawaii. (Cathrin Walk)
How we think, act, live - everything about our philosophy.
WE ARE WALK COLLECTION
We love wool and the creativity it enables. The fact that our passion is so well received has made us incredibly happy since 2010. With our team we design and dye our yarns in Aschaffenburg am Main and send them to creative people all over the world.
WE LOVE GOOD QUALITY
Hand-dyeing wool is a long and intensive process. It allows us to create the colours and patterns that reflect our vision and bring joy to our customers.
For this, we use carefully selected raw materials – from extra-fine merino wool to fine fibres such as alpaca and other high-quality materials.
The result is yarn that makes not only the finished knitted piece a joy, but the knitting process itself too.
OUR COLOURS
Inspiration is everywhere and our senses are always open: the forest in winter, city architecture, neon lights in nightlife, ... we absorb all impressions.
This is how we create colours that are modern and timeless at the same time.
