Description

Over a century ago, industry and community came together as one when Ferdinand Thun and Henry Janssen formed a manufacturing enterprise that would go on to become the largest full-fashioned knitting mill in the world. Today, that same spirit of innovation lives on through the vibrant, technology-driven community that we still proudly call The Knitting Mills. Purchased for just one dollar in 1896, Berkshire Knitting  Mills was the largest company of its kind in the entire world. It was also the first concrete-steel reinforced building in America.

In the roaring twenties, as women began to wear shorter skirts, the desire for hosiery increased and the knitting machines produced the Billionth stocking in 1941. On a side note, the grandparents and parents of the owner of A Box of Berks all worked at the Berkshire Knitting Mill at one time or another!
