The story
Eighty percent merino wool, twenty percent polyamide, knitted on two ends as a 2x2 rib. The rib is the point of it: two stitches up, two down, a structure that pulls in and springs back rather than stretching out and staying there. That is what lets the piece be made in one size, because the fabric does the adjusting instead of the pattern. The merino is the part you feel and the polyamide is the other fifth, and we would rather write both numbers than call it wool and leave it at that. It is knitted and made up in Italy, in one style and two colours. The care is a single line, dry clean only, which in practice means clean it rarely.
