The motif is inspired by ancient mosaics… artworks created with small sections of different colours.
The earliest recorded mosaics are found at Abra in Mesopotamia, believed to be from the second half of 3rd millennium BC.

Two colours are knitted into each row, the colours alternately carried behind the work to create a substantial but soft double-layer fabric which has excellent insulation qualities - ideal to keep out cool breezes.

Béret Mosaïque d’or
Inspiré par les mosaïques anciennes et fait en jacquard aux fils flottants du style “fairisle”.

Deux couleurs sont travaillés sur chaque rang, les couleurs tenus derrière pour créer un tissu léger de double couche.

La mosaïque est un art décoratif dans lequel on utilise des fragments de couleur.
