Concept sketch
It starts on paper.
Before a machine touches it, someone sketches the idea by hand — the repeat, the scale of each cell, where the motif sits. A quick pencil doodle is enough to know if a pattern is worth developing further.

Digital pattern
Then it becomes a repeat.
The sketch gets redrawn as a clean vector repeat, so we can check the geometry at full scale — where each hexagon meets the next, how the motif sits inside the cell, and whether the pattern tiles edge to edge without a visible seam.
Fabric production
We knit it before we commit to it.
The confirmed pattern gets run in a handful of colour tones on the actual knitting machines — not just on screen. Seeing the same repeat in a cooler blue-grey next to a warmer neutral tells us things a digital mock-up can't: how the yarn catches light, how the motif reads at arm's length, which tone actually belongs on a mattress.

Finished product
And it ends up on the mattress.
Once a tone is chosen, the pattern goes into full production and becomes the ticking on a finished mattress — the same hexagon repeat that started as a pencil sketch, now knitted, quilted, and ready to ship.
