Sweater Snooze

One thread of superfine Merino and two threads of mohair silk are knitted together in half-rib stitch, resulting in a soft, cozy, and lightweight knit that makes this V-neck sweater a real cuddle queen. It becomes a fashion queen thanks to the trendy red shade in three shades. The three similar, yet not identical, threads create a deep, nuanced color effect. The airy, soft V-neck sweater has a straight cut and a beautifully proportioned V-neck, making it suitable for every style and versatile in combination – whether over dresses, trousers, or jeans, whether feminine or sporty, elegant or casual.

Austermann's high-quality MERINO 160 virgin wool yarn is made from 100% pure Merino superfine. The yarn's special advantage is the sustainable, chlorine-free processing of the raw material. They are machine-washable and tumble-dryable using the environmentally friendly EXP process, which saves water and minimizes the use of chemicals. They are also certified according to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, meaning they have been tested using a globally recognized testing system and are proven to be free of harmful substances and environmentally friendly. They also offer the many benefits of this high-tech fiber from nature: temperature-regulating, warming, moisture-regulating, pleasantly soft, odor-inhibiting, stretchy, easy-care, flame-resistant, antistatic, with UV protection, and sustainably manufactured.

In this model, MERINO 160 is combined with KID SILK by Austermann, a wonderfully light, wonderfully soft blend of 75% finest kid mohair and 25% fine silk. This luxurious fiber blend is very economical thanks to its special fluffiness – the thread is fluffy and voluminous and runs very long. This cozy yarn is ideal for classic, airy lace designs, remains feather-light and cozy even when knitted with multiple strands, and is also excellent as a roving thread with other yarns. Combined with Merino 160, KID SILK creates a soft, cuddly feel. The extensive color chart with well over 30 shades allows for diverse, striking color combinations.
