We named this knit "Laumės" after the very oldest goddesses of Lithuanian mythology. These beautiful fairies descended from sky to earth and lived in dewy fields or dense forests, near rivers, swamps and lakes. They'd gather at night under new moon — dancing in circles — to call the rain and create thunder storms, and were considered guardians of nature. They often appeared naked or wearing fine airy clothing. The merino wool sweater is our take on what a modern day Laumė would wear. Comfortably oversized for a relaxed, roomy fit.

All of our Laumės knits are produced in small batches at our our female-lead, female-run partner factory in Lithuania, overseen by Mrs Zina. All of her employees earn a living wage and are entitled to 4 weeks of annual paid leave, 24 months of paid maternity leave and paid sick leave. You'll get a card with your order telling you exactly who knitted your garment and a little about them.
For the knit, we use only cashmere-like Merino wool that's certified as cruelty free, with no microplastics and no harmful or irritant chemicals used. We source our Merino wool from Italy, where it's spun and dyed in-house by our Italian suppliers.
