Corsica minimalist lightweight mohair scarf, extra wide, long and soft - black

Corsica – a wrap the size of a blanket, the weight of a breath

110 by 220 cm of fine, lightweight kid mohair: wide enough to close around you like a shawl, long enough to loop twice as a scarf, or to hang loose as a stole that falls almost to the floor.

Fine enough to see the light through – it reads as a haze rather than a layer. Thin does not mean cool – kid mohair is warm even in a knit this light, and warm out of all proportion to what it weighs.

It works the whole year. Over a coat in January, over bare shoulders on a cool July evening.

Folds down small enough for a bag and comes out without a crease. It is very light and takes up almost no room, so it is especially good for traveling.

It is knitted to shape – fully-fashioned, never cut out of a length of knitted fabric – and wherever the knit is joined it is hand-linked: the open stitches are fed onto the linking machine one loop at a time, so the join stretches with the knit.

It is hand-finished and hand-steamed, then washed before it leaves the workshop, so it arrives at its true size and stays there. The yarn is spun in Italy.

I design every piece myself, and it is knitted in a small workshop here in Lithuania – a few at a time, never off a production line.

Every piece passes through my hands before it is packed – I check each one myself before it goes out.

It arrives in a plain brown box with the care card inside and nothing else – no filler paper, no leaflets. That is a choice, not a saving – I would rather use less than print something that is made to be thrown away.

Color – black.
