Versatile garment, formal-casual with a classic shirt and trousers, to be tried more informally on a crew neck and denim; a monochromatic outfit contrasting with the Sahara colour is recommended.

History

Sahara is the largest hot desert on Earth, the same desert from which this type of outerwear takes its name: Saharan. Born for military purposes, the English wore this garment in colonial territories. Always made with very light fabrics (linen or cotton), the Saharan allowed one to survive the African heat, and at the same time its multiple pockets made it extremely functional.

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.
