WvG’s 14-ply 100% cashmere rollneck, spun from yarn by the legendary Cariaggi mill in Italy, is engineered with a density and resilience that set it apart from industry norms.
From the first wear, the difference is unmistakable: richer weight, sharper structure, and a quiet authority that only the best cashmere can deliver.
The Cashmere Behind the Build
Cariaggi has long been regarded as one of the world’s most exacting cashmere spinners, sourcing ultra-fine fibers from carefully selected herds in Inner Mongolia. Their fibers are prized for micron-level consistency and softness, giving the rollneck its foundation.
But what transforms this sweater isn’t just the raw fiber; it’s how it’s constructed. At 14-ply, each yarn bundle traps more air, creating natural insulation without bulk. The multiple plies increase resilience and reduce pilling compared to single- or two-ply sweaters, since the tighter twist and density protect fibers from abrasion. The result is warmth without stiffness, softness without fragility.
Heritage Craftsmanship
Every rollneck is fully fashioned in Italy, shaped by hand, and finished by artisans whose families have worked in knitwear for generations. This isn’t about speed or volume; it’s about precision.
Unlike cut-and-sewn knitwear, fully fashioned garments are shaped on the machine stitch by stitch, eliminating unnecessary fabric waste while producing cleaner seams and superior fit.
Why It’s Different
Most cashmere sweaters prioritize feather-light drape. This one pushes in the opposite direction: substance over frailty.
The 14-ply architecture builds a sculptural weight into the garment, helping it hold form wear after wear. It doesn’t collapse on the hanger or stretch out after a season. Instead, it maintains a steady silhouette, balancing warmth with structural integrity. This isn’t disposable luxury; it’s engineered longevity.
The Perfect Companion for Cooler Months
Designed for range and reliability, the rollneck adapts seamlessly: layered under a tailored coat for sub-zero mornings or worn solo as a statement piece indoors. The balance of insulation and breathability ensures comfort across shifts in temperature, while the dense cashmere surface develops character as it wears in.
