Seen on our runway, the Ember Sweater is the epitome of luxury. Hand-knit by artisans in Uruguay, each cable expands and contracts in size according to the width of the body. The 100% cashmere yarn is brushed to be as fluffy and soft as can be. The fit is easy and relaxed with a dropped shoulder to allow drape in the body. It pairs perfectly with the Sienna Skirt.

This luxury yarn manufacturer was founded in 1928. Its yarn collections are all produced internally at two factories, where they own and oversee the whole production cycle. They comply with the following standards: Textile and Health Association - Member Masters of Linen and European Flax (LINIFICO) - Certified European Federation of Flax and Hemp (CELC) - Member Sustainable Fiber Alliance (SFA) for cashmere.

This garment was produced at a Fair Trade women’s co-operative in Uruguay. They are a non-profit, founded by five women in 1968. Their mission is to provide work opportunity for rural women artisans, so they can gain income near their family and home instead of moving to the city for work.

Cashmere is one of the most luxurious wools, with desirable drape, softness and wrinkle resistance. It is up to three times more insulating than regular wool, with lofty fibers that can be tightly knit into warm and lightweight fabric. Like all wool, it wicks moisture and allows skin to breathe. Cashmere is considered hypoallergenic since it doesn’t have lanolin. While more delicate than other wool, cashmere garments will not lose their shape if properly cared for. This is due to the fiber’s natural stretch that allows garment to move with you and recover.
