Armen Cardigan - Navy Mix
Description
The Armen Navy Mix cardigan is made in our workshop in France from a yarn developed by the British spinning mill Z. Hinchliffe & Sons. Composed of 75% Super Geelong lambswool and 25% angora, this yarn gives the cardigan a lightweight, voluminous, and slightly fluffy knit that feels exceptionally soft to the touch and can be worn directly against the skin.
Knitted on size 7 needles, the design features a loose, relaxed fit. The front is entirely machine-knitted, which is particularly rare for a cardigan. This technique allows us to avoid any seams between the two front panels and the button placket.
To achieve this, we use the intarsia technique, which is usually reserved for knitting multiple colors on a single row. Here, it allows us to create a denser, more durable knit so we can form the buttonholes and sew on the buttons. The knitting time is significantly longer, but the quality of the finished product is unmatched.
Only the three corozo buttons are added during assembly. Made from a natural material derived from the nut of a palm tree, they are manufactured and dyed in France, in the Baie de Somme, by one of our long-standing partners.
The “navy mix” color is the result of the remarkable work of this spinning mill, which combines a deep navy blue with various shades of gray to create a unique color. A men’s cardigan made of Geelong lambswool and angora, crafted in France in the same workshop since 1972, where the craftsmanship has been passed down through three generations.
