Description

Knit vest for women hand knitted from soft extra-fine merino wool for a bold, cozy and easy handmade layer. This chunky sleeveless vest has a cropped shape, open front and relaxed fit, making it easy to wear over turtlenecks, shirts, dresses or simple long-sleeve tops.

The vest is made from our hand-spun chunky merino wool yarn with a lightly felted surface. This gives the yarn a smoother texture, helps it hold its shape better and makes the vest more practical to wear than untreated roving wool. The thick stitches create a sculptural chunky knit look, while the sleeveless shape keeps the piece lighter and easier to style.

This chunky wool vest is a good choice when you want the texture and warmth of super chunky knitwear without the full weight of a cardigan. It works well as a statement layer for spring, autumn, cool summer evenings or layered winter outfits.

Yarn Details
Yarn Details

Our chunky yarn is 100% handmade. It is hand-spun from 100% extra fine merino wool 18,5 microns from Italy. It is the best and premium merino quality in a market known for its extra softness and silkiness. It is a single ply, popular roving type yarn with a slight twist. Merino yarn goes through all necessary stages from fiber preparation to a spinning on a spinning wheel and washing to make lightly felted. This helps to fix the form of the yarn and get smooth textured surface with a unique look and soft feel. It allows knitwear to be more practical, helps reduce pilling and shedding.

Care
  • Professional dry cleaning once a season is recommended.
  • For everyday care, gently air the vest after wearing and store it folded, not hanging, to help keep its shape.
  • A fabric shaver may be used gently to refresh the surface if light pilling appears with wear. This is normal for soft natural merino wool, especially in areas of friction.
  • Gentle hand washing in cool water is possible if needed. Do not rub, twist or agitate the vest. Lay flat to dry. Please note that chunky wool becomes heavy when wet.
  • Machine washing is possible only on a very gentle wool cycle in cool water, but it may change the original look and feel of the yarn. The stitches may become more compact, and the vest may lose some of its soft chunky volume. For best results, professional dry cleaning or gentle hand washing is recommended.
