It's all a question of gauge—that is, the number of needles per centimeter used during knitting. The higher the gauge, the finer and tighter the needles, and the lighter and more structured the resulting knit. The lower the gauge, the larger the needles, and the thicker the yarn and the bulkier the knit.
In practical terms: a fine-gauge 12 knit, like our Gabino, offers a smooth surface, an impeccable drape, and unparalleled versatility—it can be worn just as well on its own as under a blazer. A chunky-gauge 3 knit, like our PAOLO in alpaca and wool, provides a generous, airy, and truly warm knit designed to face the lowest temperatures.
In between, the medium-gauge 5 knit—embodied by our CARMELO—plays both sides: structured enough to be worn alone, light enough to remain comfortable all day long. The right compromise for those who don't want to choose.
It's pure softness. Made from carded wool, a process where the fibers are brushed to obtain a softer and warmer wool.
This material offers an incomparable feel. This wool develops a unique patina, becoming richer with each wear.
