3D knitted with zero seams
Built with thermoregulating Merino
Cashmere adds extreme softness

The Planet Earth Sweater is a seamless 3D knitted sweater made from a single thread of ultrasoft cashmere and high-performance Merino. Incredibly soft, fine, lightweight, and crease resistant, it’s built for travelling anywhere.

Made from superfine Merino wool that’s evolved to survive scorching summers and freezing winters, it’s thermoregulating, breathable, elastic, and naturally water repellent. We add cashmere grown on the grasslands of the Mongolian-Manchurian steppe for softness, and then 3D knit the entire sweater – which is like 3D printing for clothing – to create a completely seamless sweater.

Every sweater is 3D knitted from a single thread of ultrasoft cashmere and high-performance Merino.

A crease resistant sweater built for travelling the world

The Planet Earth Sweater is made from a blend of superfine Merino wool that’s evolved to survive scorching summers and freezing winters, and ultrasoft cashmere grown on the grasslands of the Mongolian-Manchurian steppe. The result is a sweater that’s thermoregulating, breathable, elastic, naturally water repellent, and crease resistant.

What the sweater feels like

The sweater is incredibly smooth and soft against your skin, so won’t scratch you or itch like wool sweaters can. The softness and seamless construction mean you can wear it on its own if you’re looking to go fast and light. Or it works great as a layering piece during colder months. Merino and cashmere are also naturally elastic so it’s not going to create any resistance.

How Merino keeps you cool in the heat

Merino stops you overheating in higher temperatures as it simply releases its warmth if you’re getting too hot. Merino wool has to keep sheep cool even when the temperature goes over 30°C, so the Merino fibre naturally absorbs the moisture from sweat and disperses it to start releasing heat.

Merino keeps you warm in the cold too

Staying warm is all about trapping as many pockets of air next to your body as possible and that’s what Merino is built for. Every Merino fibre is hollow which means you have millions of air pockets trapped next to your skin. And as the natural curl of wool fibres traps more air than straight fibres, the microscopic texture of the fabric itself will also retain heat.

Incredibly soft, fine, lightweight, and built with zero seams, the Planet Earth Sweater is made for travelling anywhere.

We add cashmere to make it even softer

We add 10% cashmere to our Merino to make the Planet Earth Sweater even softer. Known as ‘The Golden Fleece,’ cashmere is one of the world’s softest and rarest materials. While a sheep will produce around 3kg of wool each year, a cashmere goat will only grow about 200 grams. And that’s because they only shed their fleece once a year, and the softest fibres are only combed from their underbellies.

A harsh climate makes cashmere incredibly soft

We get our cashmere from the fleeces of Hircus Laniger goats that graze on the vast grasslands of the Mongolian-Manchurian steppe. Stretching over 800,000 square kilometres, they experience some of the harshest winters on Earth – where temperatures can be -50°C for consecutive days, and recurring natural disasters like ‘the dzud’ even have their own name. While people developed yurts to survive, the goats developed an incredibly thick fleece. Today every cashmere goat has a thick and rugged outer layer that protects a warm and ultrasoft undercoat. And it’s this undercoat which produces the cashmere fibres that we use to create this sweater.

Fast drying and insulating even when wet

The outside of every Merino fibre is covered in a natural wax coating which makes it water repellent when you’re outside. At the same time the Merino acts like a sponge to soak up sweat and spread it over a massive surface area so that it evaporates at high speed. And as Merino can absorb over 30% of its own weight in water and still feel dry, you’ll stay warm and insulated.

It’s hard to make the Planet Earth Sweater smell

It’s not sweat that smells, or even the clothes themselves, it’s the build-up of bacteria on the surface of the clothes. Merino is naturally odour resistant – odour molecules are absorbed and locked into the centre of the fibre of the Merino so you simply can’t smell them. They’re then released when you wash the sweater.

How we source our wool responsibly

While cashmere and Merino are amazing materials, they have to be made ethically and in the right way. To create the Planet Earth Sweater we work with Cariaggi, one of Italy’s most renowned mills that’s famous for producing some of the world’s softest yarns. They’re certified by the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS), an independent body committed to protecting the welfare and livelihood of the animals and herders, as well as preserving and restoring the land they graze and work on.

Zero seams means zero waste

3D knitting is a more efficient process than conventional knitting because you only have to feed a single strand of thread into the machine to produce a fully finished sweater. It means each sweater uses the exact amount of thread it needs, and no excess is left behind.
