A casual, lightweight jumper with the look of fine linen but the comfort of soft cotton. Both fibres absorb dyes differently, giving the knitted fabric a wonderful melange. The characteristic "flaming" of linen and the wide knitted rib emphasise the casual look of the Disana summer jumper. The wide round neckline makes it even more comfortable to put on and wear. The smallest sizes also come with a button placket on the shoulder.

Dear Disana Customers

The temptation was great to have Chat GPT write the text for the introduction to the new disana Spring|Summer25 catalogue. The topics of cotton and linen were quickly entered. Of course, there were also buzzwords such as “organic” and “sustainability”. And then a few summery attributes such as “light” and “airy”.

The result was actually very pleasing. The words were beautifully chosen, the grammar perfect and if we had already had an AI spellchecker back then, our mum would certainly have been less worried during our school days.

There was nothing technically wrong with the text either. Cotton and its properties were well described. The typical thin and thick areas of a linen yarn, the so-called “flaming”, were also well described.

But what Chat GPT didn’t realise was that it was precisely this flaming that caused us considerable difficulties when developing the light summer knit fabrics.

Such an inconsistent yarn creates wonderful effects and great melanges in the fabric. But our knitting machines don’t run such thick patches at first. Not at all.

Days of experimentation and the experience and skills of our knitting specialists were required to harmonise the machines and yarn. Even chewing gum paper was used to trick a stubborn sensor. Now, however, hundreds of hook needles catch a thin thread within a fraction of a second as it races across them at 0.8 metres per second. And it does so without disturbing thick spots in the yarn.

Working with real people is still important to us. The specialists, magicians, artists and inventors in our production. Because every day we come across something new that cannot yet be solved with artificial intelligence.

We think you might find this interesting. Because the fact that our summer fabrics are “light” and “airy” is a matter of course. We don’t need an AI-generated explanation for that.
