KNOTTY – chunky on the outside, light in the hand
A deep cable knit in alpaca and merino, knitted as one soft curve from shoulder to hem. Nothing to fasten – you put it on and it stays where it falls.
It wraps around you softly rather than weighing on the shoulders.
One size, and it means it – it sits well on women from EU 36 through 44. Length 110 cm.
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 – cocoa.
