Shade Pullover
— Fine Normandy Linen Knit —
Made from linen yarn spun using a wet-spun process from first-grade flax grown in France’s Normandy region.
Our distinctive twisting and dyeing techniques draw out the natural color vibrancy and refreshing feel of the yarn itself.
With minimal fuzz, it retains linen’s characteristic dry touch while offering the fullness and softness of a knit.
This French linen is twisted into an exceptionally thick yarn and tightly knitted on a 3-gauge machine.
More than 800 grams of yarn are used for each garment, setting it apart from the common image of linen knits as “light and insubstantial.”
It feels substantial in the hand, yet once worn, the weight is distributed across the body and feels surprisingly light. That sensation is unique to this knitting construction.
The knit is constructed through transitions between ribbing and jersey.
Triangular gussets are placed beneath the arms, while the undersides of the sleeves use a flat construction to ensure freedom of movement and allow the sleeves to fall naturally as you move.
It follows the body without losing its definition. That balance has been carefully adjusted in every detail.
The silhouette is relaxed, but carefully designed to keep the visual center of gravity low,
creating a presence that is more considered than simply an oversized, “relaxed knit.”
It stands on its own as a single layer, while its character changes with the wearer’s movement and posture.
A pullover that quietly conveys the level of refinement possible in knitwear.
