Sometimes overlooked, Margaret Klein played a key role in the Bernat Klein company, where she was chief designer.

In 1963, when Bernat Klein released a range of knitting yarns, Margaret designed a range of complementary knitting patterns and continued to do so for each new yarn collection. When the Bernat Klein company ceased trading in 1981, Margaret’s knitwear production continued until 1992. She designed hundreds of knitting patterns, also knitted by her army of homeworkers across Scotland, and made available as ready-to-wear.
