Thin knit 100% merino wool dress CLAUDIA - light gray

CLAUDIA – a dress for everything from the first cold of autumn through to spring

A finely knitted dress in 100% merino wool – one of the ones that does not sit in the wardrobe, because it is the one you reach for most.

The merino here is fine and soft, so it does not prickle even against bare skin, and it does not shed.

It is knitted in a rib, so it gives as much as you need it to – your usual size is the right one.

Merino regulates as well: it holds up to a third of its own weight in moisture and lets it go again, so it warms without overheating and stays fresh between wearings.

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 – light gray.
