Avesta Long Sleeve Sweater

Product Details

Our Avesta Long Sleeve Sweater is the new summer fabrication of the Knapp Sweater. A slightly wide design with dropped shoulders, side splits with two buttons and ribbed detailing, this light gauge fully fashioned knit has been carefully crafted from 20% recycled polyester. Please note, lighter colours of the Avesta Long Sleeve Sweater are slightly sheer.

Material

50% Cotton, 30% Lyocell & 20% Polyester

This soft knit fabric is perfect for layering, offering a slightly fluffy texture that allows for versatile styling. Cotton and lyocell offer breathability making this a great trans-seasonal fabric, while the recycled polyester creates strength and durability in the finished product.

Lyocell is made from cellulose fibre from wood pulp. Lyocell production does not use toxic chemicals, and more than 99% of the solvents are recovered and used again. Lyocell production uses significantly less water than for cotton, making it a relatively low impact option.

Recycled polyester is a low impact, circular fibre made from post-industrial and post-consumer waste like plastic bottles. We choose to use recycled rather than new as part of our commitment to reduce waste and create more sustainable products. The recycled polyester in this knit is Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certified.

Maker

These knits were made by Hop Hing Woollen Sweaters Factory who we have been working with since 2007. They are a family owned business established by the late Mr Tsui Senior in 1962. Now owned and managed by his son Jeff, they have their head office, development team and sampling in Hong Kong and their main manufacturing in Dongguan, China.

We visit Hop Hing at least once a year and have a great, long term working relationship with them. We are actively working to source the most sustainable yarns with them through Novetex and UPW. Jeff's team is highly experienced, and their operation has full, onsite capabilities including washing and finishing.
