The cable-knit crewneck
Willia, the Aran sweater has been in our imaginary for decades. We revisit from time to time. Each stitch has its own meaning, a historical legacy from the life of the seafaring communities. For example, each braid (the Cable Stitch) represents the ropes of the fisherman and symbolizes the wish for a fruitful day at sea.
An Aran sweater can easily take 40 to 60 hours to make. Ours is knitted with a double gassed thread of Egyptian cotton for lasting softness and a cosy feel. It is produced on a hand operated machine, where every technician develops his own unique technique to produce the cable and texture variations.
Highly versatile, it can be paired with high-waisted trousers for a chic look, a simple pair of jeans for a stroll along the pier, or a boatride.
Knitted in Egyptian mako cotton ELS: this Giza cotton is the very essence of classic cotton, in an ultra-soft version, which can be worn in all seasons, on its own, because it doesn't need anything else to standout. The mako variety, from Upper Egypt, is a controlled appellation whose thread is extremely fine and silky.
Each colour of this knit is dyed by skeins directly onto the yarn before spinning, using vegetable pigments and natural agents for fixation, creating depth and uniqueness to the colours.
