300g of natural softness
Cashwool® 1978 by Zegna Baruffa
"Made in Italy" is a true reference in fashion, indicating artisanal expertise lost elsewhere. And in the wool industry, Zegna Baruffa is where it happens. They are the ones who revolutionized the textile sector in the late 70s with Cashwool®, a merino wool as luminous as silk and as soft as cashmere, which we use for all our winter sweaters.
An extra-fine merino wool
Merino wool is known for its fineness, which gives it its softness and makes it so pleasant to wear next to the skin. With an average diameter of about 19.5 microns, merino wool fiber is 3 times finer than wool from other sheep breeds. Still having trouble imagining this fineness? For comparison, 70 microns is the average diameter of a human hair.
Certified mulesing-free and OEKO-TEX®
Certified Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) since 2019, Zegna Baruffa uses one of the rare Australian wools guaranteed mulesing-free. This label ensures the well-being of sheep for wool production. In addition to better land management, the partner breeder commits, among other things, not to practice mulesing on their sheep.
"You don't know him,
you're already judging him!"
To be able to judge a sweater, you need to know its weight and gauge. Certainly, knowing these two numbers won't have the same effect as putting on the sweater and feeling its soft knit envelop you. But it's a good way, from a distance, to get an idea of its thickness and therefore its seasonality.
The weight
For a sweater, the weight is related to its density. And ours boasts a fighting weight of 300g, which officially classifies it in the category of light winter sweaters.
Unofficially, a sweater of this weight is actually an all-season sweater, depending on the local climate and how it's worn, of course: worn next to the skin, it's ideal for mid-season temperatures of 10-15°C (50-59°F); worn over a shirt, it will accompany you all winter. So you won't be going on a trek in Lapland with your Cashwool sweater, but in metropolitan areas, it will keep you warm enough during the cold season (assuming you add a jacket or coat to go outside).
The gauge
The gauge measures the thickness of a sweater. It corresponds to the number of needles on a knitting machine that fit into the space of one inch (2.54 cm). The higher the gauge, the finer the sweater. The gauge of our Cashwool sweater is 14, which corresponds to a high fineness.
Traditional manufacturing in Italy
More than half a century of family knitting
It was near Florence in Italy, at the end of the 1960s, that the knitting workshop for our sweaters first set its needles in motion. Nearly half a century later, this workshop has become a company specializing in knitwear and accessories. Yet, it's still the same family running the knitting machines.
A solid and waste-free assembly
To avoid significant fabric waste and achieve a better cut, all our sweaters are made using the fully-fashioned assembly technique. In other words, the sweater is entirely shaped by knitting. We explain everything about the different techniques of assembling knitwear in our blog article.
