History

The headdress becomes a symbol, like the pileus, during ancient Greece, in fact it indicated
belonging to the lower classes: made of felt or leather, it was used by workers, fishermen and sailors (also
Ulysses was depicted with a pileus). In ancient Rome, however, it was a symbol of freedom: it was given to
slaves when they became free.

ORIGIN

This garment is crafted using 100% Italian yarn from Tollegno 1900, a historic wool mill with over a century of expertise in producing premium wool yarns. The yarn used is the iconic Harmony, born from the concept of "in harmony with nature." Tollegno 1900 emphasizes the connection between wool and nature, taking us on a sensory journey through different habitats and creating a virtuous cycle of wellbeing, representing the precious relationship between wool and the natural world. Their approach respects the environment and carefully considers the needs of those who inhabit it, promoting a concept of wellbeing that goes beyond mere materiality.

HOW WE MADE IT

The Harmony yarn used in this cardigan is processed in 2/30 count (meaning 2/30,000), making it a two-ply twisted yarn. This means that each kilogram of yarn contains approximately 15,000 meters of thread. Furthermore, the yarn has a fineness of 12, making it particularly suitable for knitwear that ensures breathability, lightness, and excellent protection from the cold. The combed knitting technique gives the garment a pleasant softness and warmth against the skin, without ever feeling scratchy.

A LONG-LASTING, VALUABLE GARMENT

This article is a piece of exceptional value and durability thanks to the excellence of the yarn used and its meticulous craftsmanship. Each piece requires more than 1 kg of Harmony yarn, while ordinary knitwear typically uses only 300-400 grams. After production, the garment undergoes an initial washing process where it "shrinks," losing approximately 15-18% of its original weight, setting both the fibers and the knitting structure. The result is a perfect sweater characterized by extraordinary fineness, a remarkable quantity of raw materials, and extremely careful workmanship, giving it exceptional longevity.
