The Heavy Wool Sweater

190 EUR
Our heavy wool sweater is a ribbed crewneck with raglan sleeves, drawn from the classic fisherman sweater. The loose-fit silhouette is warm and chunky without restriction, thanks to seamless knitting that moves with the body.

Made from a 50/50 virgin and recycled wool blend by Millefilli, Italy, and knitted in Portugal. Available in up to three lengths.
Dark Navy

We've added virgin wool to the recycled wool base, for increased depth and softness. The reverse half cardigan stitch pairs with the chunky 3-ply yarn to create resilient knit that keeps its form for years on end.

We source our yarn from Italian specialist spinner Millefili. MRS, our knitters in Portugal use Shima Seiki WHOLEGARMENT® knitting machines to knit the whole garment in one piece – avoiding waste and creating garments that are unrestrictive, benefitting fully from the natural elasticity of the yarn.

    How to take care of wool

    Most of us have probably ruined a sweater or two in our garment care career and caring for wool has a bad rep for being a hassle. We respectfully disagree. Wool care is misunderstood. In general, wool garments require much less care, the garment practically takes care of itself because of the inherent qualities of wool. Sure, if you do need to wash the whole piece, it needs some extra attention, but that’s exactly what we’ll guide you through in this section - there’s nothing to fear.
