Knit thickness
When choosing knitwear, it is important to pay attention to the thickness of the knit and the intended use of the garment. Each knit and knitwear piece is unique, and each person experiences the warmth of the knit individually. This is influenced by, among other things, the density and airiness of the knit as well as the product’s sizing.
To make the choice easier, we have divided the knits into three thickness categories:
lightweight, midweight, and heavyweight.
When selecting knitwear, note that a thicker knit can still feel pleasantly cool indoors, for example, if the product has a looser fit and a fluffy knit surface. Conversely,
a thinner knit can be very warm if the fit is tight and the knit dense.
Choose according to neckline style
Fits
Our knitwear comes in various fits. Sizing in knitwear made from natural fibers may vary between different products, and this is normal. This is influenced by
slight differences in thickness between colors. This is hardly noticeable in terms of knit thickness in use, but it can have a subtle effect during knitting, which makes each product unique.
