Rundhals Merino Wool Crewneck

Story

Vintage-inspired, German-knit wool sweater

Sometimes you need a veritable wool barrier for protection when Old Man Winter is at his worst, and that's when Heimet delivers. This incredibly plush and cozy Merino Wool Crew sweater is hand-finished and knitted in Germany from a full kilogram of 100% virgin wool. In addition to some serious heat retention, the winter weather experts at Heimat left the natural oils in the yarn to maintain their natural self-cleaning and water-resistant properties keeping you warm, dry, and less likely to be standing around your washing machine.

• Heavy-duty 5-gauge knit made from 1 kg of virgin wool for ultimate softness and warmth

About Heimat

Throw on one of Heimat’s sturdy knits, and you’ll quickly realize sweaters were the original performance layers. Before the whole genre of “performance outerwear” was born, the world’s fishermen, mountaineers, and Steve Zissous relied on durable sweaters like these to carry them to the horizon and back with their body temperatures intact. So it makes sense that the word Heimat in German can be roughly translated to “home away from home.” Knitted and hand finished in Germany with 100% soft and toasty wool, Heimat’s collection feels steeped in nostalgia. If you’re looking for classic everyday knitwear that would also gladly hop in your bag for an around-the-world voyage, you can’t do much better than these.
