The Heavy Wool Sweater

190 CHF

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.

Absolutely nice Sweater, I already
Absolutely nice Sweater, I already have a grey one, I think I wore it the whole winter season almost everyday. Only malus: Usually the XL Long fits me very well, troughout the other products, but with the heavy wool sweater the Sleeves could be slightly longer, only 1-2 cm.

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.
