Tanuki Knitted Cardigan Navy

DESCRIPTION

This piece is knit from 100% Tanuki (Raccoon Dog) yarn, spun by Consinee, one of the most respected luxury spinners in the world.
Tanuki fiber is naturally hollow, meaning each strand traps air inside the fiber itself.
That trapped air is what gives this knit its standout insulation, more thermal efficiency per gram than cashmere, without relying on bulk or weight.
At 7 gauge, 4-ply, the knit has real presence, but the hollow structure of the fiber keeps it from feeling heavy or stiff.
The result is warmth that feels effortless rather than dense.
Tanuki is naturally hypoallergenic and has a smooth, resilient fiber structure that softens further with wear.
Tanuki delivers a soft, comfortable hand feel suitable for wearing directly against the skin, while retaining exceptional warmth and durability over time.
The body is knit in maglia rasata to let the yarn do the talking, while 1x1 rib cuffs and hem add structure and longevity.
Finished with real horn buttons.
