About this piece
We spent the whole summer developing this jacquard pattern with our knitter, and now we can finally present it to you. Jacquard is a special technique where the pattern is woven into the fabric by alternating different yarns, creating patterns and contrasts. Jackie is an open cardigan without fastenings, with wider watch sleeves, and will look great over shirts, dresses, and even turtlenecks. The knit is firm, which really brings out the pattern. We are very happy with the entire collaboration with the knitting mill, because the sweaters were produced in small quantities locally in Brno from Merino Extra Fine certified yarn from Austria. Available in sizes: XS/S, M/L, and XL.
Which size will fit you?
Beta We are still fine-tuning our size recommendations. If the size does not fit, please let us know.
Enter your body measurements in centimetres. We will compare them with the measurements of this cut. The cut is oversized, we take into account the ease it is designed with. We assume you will wear a sweater or hoodie underneath.
How to measure yourself
Bust: tape measure horizontally around the fullest part of your chest.
Waist: at the narrowest point, usually just above the navel.
Hips: around the fullest part of your bottom, feet together.
Height: without shoes. We use it to estimate the length of the trouser legs.
Saved measurements help others too: when you rate your purchase later, we use them anonymously to recommend sizes to customers with a similar figure. Nobody else will see your name or your measurements.

Material info
Merino cashwool
Cashwool merino yarn is made from extra-fine merino wool, which is exceptionally soft and has a luxurious appearance similar to cashmere. Thanks to its lightness, breathability, and elasticity, it is ideal for knitting elegant sweaters, scarves, and delicate accessories.
Making a YP sweater
It all starts here: laying out the pattern in the software. Pure pixel art :)
The program goes onto a Japanese knitting machine by floppy disk. A lovely piece from the nineties.
Spools of Superfine merino wool. It simply doesn't get any better!
The bobbins of wool are threaded into the machine's guides. To a layman, a nuclear power plant control room, an Airbus cockpit and a knitting machine are equally baffling.
And off we go!
After knitting, every piece has to be steamed
So the fibres soften and hold their shape better
Straighten it, check everything is as it should be, and the sweater starts to take shape.
The knitting machine produces an almost finished piece, but some parts such as the neckline and armholes have to be trimmed by hand.
Merino is a very expensive material, so working with it takes a precise hand, a lot of experience and steady nerves. Measure twice, cut once.
And now the sewing! In this case on a machine similar to the one we use in our workshop for dresses and t-shirts.
What does this machine have in common with Moravian plum brandy?
It makes chains! In Moravia plenty of people can handle a glass of plum brandy, but only skilled hands can handle a linking machine. The workshop owner sighs that there are no schools for it any more and interest in handcraft is fading.
Stitch by stitch... aiming precisely so the pieces of the sweater join up perfectly.
We visit the workshop regularly and discuss every pattern and every adjustment.

Knitwear Collection Made in Brno
Wool is a luxurious natural fiber. It contains lanolin, which provides natural protection. Woolen garments therefore don’t need to be washed as often as those made from other materials. It’s enough to store them properly, air them out frequently, and a quick pass with a steamer iron works well to refresh them.
Wool deserves this care. You’ll be rewarded with its durability, excellent performance, breathability, and natural temperature regulation.
If you do decide to wash wool, soak it in lukewarm water with a drop of wool-specific laundry gel. Do not distort the garment in any way after washing it this way. Simply use a towel to squeeze out the excess water and let it dry flat. A clothes drying rack works well, as it ensures airflow even from the underside.
