Merino Wool SweaterThe Marcel Sweater - Marl Grey

Our wool sweaters are designed as unisex pieces. We recommend that men choose one size up from their usual size and that women choose their usual size.

100% merino wool

The extra-fine merino yarn is RWS-certified and comes from the traceable NATIVA supply chain. The wool comes from farms that do not practise mulesing, and the yarn is treated without chlorine. The yarn also holds GOTS, OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 and Woolmark certifications, covering the processing of organic fibres, testing for harmful substances and yarn quality.

Machine wash inside out on a delicate cycle at a maximum of 30°C with similar colours. Do not tumble dry. Iron inside out at a low temperature.

This piece is made in France, in Roanne, in a workshop awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label.

Each part is knitted directly to its final shape, with no cutting or cutting waste. The pieces are then linked stitch by stitch, creating fine, flexible joins while preserving the natural stretch of the knit.

The heather grey merino wool sweater with raglan sleeves

The heather grey merino wool sweater with raglan sleeves lets the material set the tone. The pearl stitch ribbing adds texture, the crew neck keeps the line simple, and the shades of grey lend themselves to everyday combinations.

A knitwear piece to enjoy every day

Jeans, cotton trousers or a dressier piece can complement this sweater. The crew neck reveals the collar of a shirt, while a base layer remains more discreet underneath. The wool and the texture of the ribbing thus find their place in several combinations, depending on the temperature and the ease of movement desired.

The shades of heather grey

The heathering animates the surface without forming a pronounced pattern. With ecru trousers, it appears brighter; next to black, its texture stands out more. Grey can also accompany another knitwear piece or a wool jacket: the differences in material then compose the outfit, even when the colors remain close.

The softness of merino wool

Extrafine merino wool provides a soft touch and pleasant warmth for cool days. Knitted in pearl stitch ribbing, it takes on a regular texture that contributes as much to comfort as to the design of the garment. The knit remains supple and lends itself to layering. Detailed information about the yarn and its care is gathered in the dedicated section of this product page.

Crew neck and raglan shoulders

The crew neck creates a sober neckline, extended by the diagonal lines of the raglan sleeves. These sleeves give character to the construction of the sweater and follow the movement of the shoulders. The pearl stitch ribbing completes this shape with its suppleness. The garment retains a silhouette that is easy to wear on its own or under a jacket.

A French workshop and the craft of linking

In Roanne, the same workshop certified as a Living Heritage Company produces the sweater. The different parts are knitted in shape, then assembled by linking. This stitch-to-stitch connection preserves the suppleness of the knit. There are no cut panels, nor any cutting waste: the model is thus made in France according to precise know-how.
