24 gauge 3-ply knit from ELS Egyptian cotton yarn by FIlmar

Discretely accentuated 1x1 rib-knitted collar, cuffs and hems

Fully fashioned - knitted and linked with no off-cuts

We source the yarns for this sweater from renowned Italian spinner Filmar. The certified organic extra long staple Giza 86 cotton fiber is cultivated in Giza Egypt, then spun and dyed in Filmar's own subsidiaries in the same region. The yarn is shipped to our expert knitters in Romania, an Italian-owned family operation under the name Alextricot, for knitting, linking, and washing.
