About Twine

Many great innovations started with a "What if?" moment. This was certainly the case for Erez and Alon Moshe, entrepreneurs and artists with a passion for creativity and color. When looking at multi-colored embroidery on a bath towel, Erez thought, "What if there was digital color technology? The manufacturer would only need to stock white thread.” From this initial spark of inspiration, the two brothers have developed Twine into a thriving digital thread dyeing business driven by innovative technology.
