In 1951 Katia is born in Barcelona. The mother company is Hilaturas Genesis, specialist in knitting yarns and wholesaler of yarn skeins, in Caspe street. The potential for knitting and crocheting is evident straight away. In the 70s Katia becomes of age and gets her independence. Like any other youngster, she’s eager to conquer the world. She fills a suitcase with skeins of yarn and begins to travel and take part in international fairs where she becomes known in other countries. In the 80s, in order to maintain her love of haberdashery and craft stores alive, Katia publishes her first pattern magazines with designs which are innovative for the era. After struggling through an industry crisis and a devastating fire, starting from 2005 Katia enjoys a second youth. Knitting and crocheting is fashionable again and she takes pleasure in sharing the handmade and being part of the DIY (Do It Yourself) movement. The company now has reached maturity, with her love of yarns intact, the experience of being in 50 countries, fresh innovative designs and all the energy to continue knitting and crocheting for many more years to come!
