Description

The Navy Black Gradation Trace of Repair High Neck Cardigan by amachi draws on an archived collaboration series with cult collectible fiber artist Kurina Ninomiya and is anatomically designed to blend the ancient with the modern, creating heritage crafted for the future. The Gradation Cardigan is completely hand-knit in Japan by artisans, with a seamless tubular body and sleeves and a hand-linked hammer shoulder, presenting a perfectly draped, classic, relaxed fit. This sweater is crafted from ethically sourced, mulesing-free 100% Merino Lambswool, dyed in the shear and spun into two variegated yarns, then knit into a horizontal pattern that reflects the sedimentary passage of time. Irregularly placed, patchwork-style stitch-knit variations subtly communicate the repairs and evolutions that occur over our history. Built on traditional Japanese garment-construction methods and dyeing techniques, each piece is one-of-a-kind wearable art that will dramatically evolve with the wearer. Blending the antique with modern craftsmanship, this cardigan features a black mother-of-pearl button-front placket, a high stand ribbed collar, and a ribbed hem and cuffs, hand-linked into a single knit construction with a fully fashioned interior for an exquisitely designed, finished garment. Venture into the world with a spirited artistic expression that blends nature and design.
