 The manufacture of berets

A very traditional recipe, with a touch of ingenuity.

Pascal and Evelyne, at the controls of the Laas workshop, spent their lives in the beret. They have chosen to join the Béret Français® adventure, and are not disappointed! Each beret will spend 10 times in their hands, to one or the other.

How is a beret made?

The first step knitting, with a fine wool and quality, that we buy in the Pyrenees. The latter will be knitted and carefully checked by expert hands and eyes.

Come the crowding. As soon as we knit 150 berets, after 2 days, we put the lot in a fuller, like a big washing machine, thanks to a special recipe, "tuck in" the beret, which means to felter it 'to its ideal size of 28 cm in diameter.

Then enformage, one by one, on a wooden form. Then drying all night. The next morning, the deenforming and shaving.

After one last check, hop the beret is ready! It took a week of work, and 10 times the beret was taken over!
