Adults Knitwear
Knitwear for adults, made the same way as everything else in our studio: natural fibres, small batches, and knitting skills passed down in the family since 1926, in Dvorje near Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Slovenia.
In this collection you will find sweaters and cardigans, hats and accessories in extra-fine merino wool, with selected cardigans and hats in a cashmere–merino blend for extra softness.
FAQs
Does merino wool knitwear itch?
No — extra-fine merino wool has much finer fibres than regular sheep's wool, so Jakopina adult knitwear is comfortable directly on the skin, without the itch associated with traditional wool sweaters.
Can I wear merino knitwear year-round?
Yes. Merino wool regulates body temperature and wicks moisture, so a merino sweater keeps you warm in winter and stays breathable in spring and autumn. That makes Jakopina merino knitwear a three-season piece rather than winter-only.
What is the difference between merino and cashmere-blend pieces?
Merino wool pieces are durable, temperature-regulating everyday knitwear. Cashmere-blend pieces — Jakopina cardigans and hats — add the exceptional softness and lightness of cashmere to merino's durability. The exact composition of each piece is on its product page.
How do I care for adult knitwear?
Wash merino and cashmere-blend knitwear by hand or on a wool cycle at up to 30 °C with a mild wool detergent, and dry it flat. Wool rarely needs washing — airing after wear is usually enough, which also extends the life of the piece.
Where is Jakopina knitwear made?
All Jakopina knitwear is made in a family knitting studio in Dvorje near Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Slovenia. The studio has been knitting since 1926 and produces in small batches, from baby blankets to adult sweaters.
