Armen Cardigan - Mocha
Description
The Armen mocha cardigan is crafted 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 light, 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, a technique that is particularly rare for a cardigan. This allows us to eliminate any seams between the two front panels and the placket where the buttons and buttonholes are placed.
To achieve this construction, we use the intarsia technique, which is typically employed to knit multiple colors on a single row. Here, it allows us to create a distinct, denser, and more durable knit capable of accommodating the buttonholes and buttons. The knitting process takes much longer, but it enables us to achieve a highly precise finish.
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 mocha color—a blend of brown and taupe—highlights the richness of the Geelongora yarn and its light, natural fuzz. A men’s cardigan made from Geelong lambswool and angora, Made in France in the same workshop since 1972, where craftsmanship has been passed down through three generations.
