If you would like to visit our workshop – whether on your own, as a couple, with your family, or as a work group – please do not hesitate to contact Christelle, our workshop tour coordinator, on (+33) 02 30 91 97 30, or christelle@leminor-bonneterie.fr
knitwear from A to Z: cotton and wool yarns undergo a series of transformations within the walls of the Guidelois workshop to become... Sweaters and sailors.
The tour takes you through all the stages of production in a century-old workshop: circular and flat knitting, steaming the stitch, hand-cutting, rewinding and finally making up.
Come and visit our workshop and discover garments 100% made in Brittany.
