EXTREME KNITWEAR · EST. 13,500 FT

KNITTED AT
TERMINAL
VELOCITY

Every PURLDIVE piece is cast on in the plane, knitted in freefall at 200 km/h, and cast off under canopy. No piece has ever touched a needle on the ground.

THE JUMP IS
THE LOOM

Gravity is our tension gauge. Sixty seconds of freefall equals roughly forty rows — our knitters train for years to purl through the relative wind without dropping a stitch into the troposphere.

  1. 01

    Exit at 13,500 ft

    Needles sheathed, yarn ball tethered to the harness. The knitter arches, stabilises belly-to-earth, and casts on before the first thousand feet are gone.

  2. 02

    60 seconds of purl

    At terminal velocity the wind holds every stitch taut. Garter in the burble, stockinette in clean air. The scarf streams behind like a flag being born.

  3. 03

    Cast off under canopy

    Deploy at 3,000 ft. Four quiet minutes to bind off, weave in ends, and land standing up with a finished piece — still warm from the friction.

THE CURRENT
DROP

Each piece ships with its jump number, exit altitude, and the knitter's logbook entry. Yarn is grown at altitude. Obviously.
