90% Merino wool 10% Cashmere

A warm premium blend of Merino wool with added cashmere, a lightweight elastic fiber that makes the garment even softer and more delicate. 

They are made by Linsieme Filati, a Tuscan company in business for over 40 years. They use their expertise to transform natural fibers into premium yarns, through an in-house production cycle and the use of solar energy.

Care

We recommend washing this garment by hand: fill up a basin with lukewarm water and a few drops of mild or delicate laundry detergent. Turn the garment inside out before immersing it in the water and leaving it to soak for 5 minutes - no longer or the detergent could cause damage. Then rinse delicately, without wringing it out. To get rid of any excess water, lay the garment out on a towel and roll it up on itself. 

If you want to wash it in the washing machine, always turn it inside out or put it inside a delicates bag and choose a short gentle cycle that doesn’t exceed 30°C. If possible, turn off the spin cycle entirely (or set it to maximum 400 RPM).

Once the wash is finished, lay it out flat and in the shade to dry. Store in a cool dry place. Don’t wash it after every wear, instead let it air out a little. Wool has natural antibacterial properties.

As for pilling? The dreaded pills that form on the surface of a garment are actually the material's ordinary reaction to friction against itself or other surfaces. It's naturally expressed by cashmere and high quality wool, so when you wear it, make sure to use an anti-pilling comb and always take care of the fibers when washing. That way they'll last you longer.

Design

This sweater is one of Filippo Volandri’s favorites. Technical director of the Italian national team, he picked this one out for our tennis-inspired capsule wardrobe: simple, elegant, and entirely Made in Italy.

It is made using single-ply yarn and knitted at 7 gauge thickness. The gauge refers to the number of needles per inch on the needle bed. The higher the number of needles, the finer the yarn needs to be. This piece uses a midweight yarn that’s pleasing to the touch and perfect for when temperatures start to drop.

Drop stitching the yarn makes the garment more refined and well-balanced. Drop stitching means lowering the needles in the machine to create curves in the knit without using scissors: a premium technique that guarantees less waste.

The raglan sleeve is wide and comfortable: starting at the collar and curving around the shoulder to create more room for movement.

This zipper is self-locking, hypoallergenic and galvanized with a silver coating, a treatment that makes it more durable. We put our trust in Lampo to make it: true Italian excellence.

Knitwear gets washed after being made so it will stay just as beautiful as you see it. Our artisans line up and full the fabric during the production phase - this process brings out the softness in the wool.

It undergoes various anti-pilling tests. Although pilling is natural, it is reduced by using good quality wool. That’s why we make sure to put each piece through friction tests and adjustments: a long process that takes a lot of trial and error, but ultimately delivers a longer-lasting garment.

Made in Italy

We’ve always put our trust in the hands of the best local craftsmen. Afterall, Italy itself is like a huge open-air workshop. Made in Bagnacavallo, in the Ravenna province, this sweater was created in a workshop owned by Gilberto. His knitwear company has been spinning top quality yarns since 1995, combining research and passion to produce excellence. To date they have over three thousand designs, created through continual experimentation with new yarns. For durable pieces made in a variety of textures and thicknesses.
