WIND kid mohair cardigan – light as the wind, warm as the evening
A long, lightweight kid mohair cardigan that stays in rotation all year round. Over a summer dress, under a winter coat, across the whole cool half of the year in between.
The sleeves roll up and stay where you put them. It folds into a handbag and comes out without a crease. It is very light and takes up almost no room, so it is especially good for traveling.
One size, fits women's EU 36-40. Over jeans, over a dress, over everything.
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.
Every panel of this piece is knitted to shape on its own – fully-fashioned, never cut out of a length of knitted fabric. The panels are then hand-linked: a person feeds the open stitches onto the linking machine one loop at a time, so the seams stretch with the knit.
It is hand-finished – hand-steamed over a shaped pad and 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.
