W5422 Cardigan - Black Oversized Gauge 3 Mohair Blend Mesh Knit Removable Knit Sash Women's Italian

Gauge 3 Mohair Blend Mesh. Black. Removable Knit Sash. The Halo You Feel Before You See.

The W5422 in black is the same construction as the mud — oversized cardigan in gauge 3 mohair blend mesh (40% polyester, 30% mohair wool, 30% polyamide) with a removable knit sash — but in a colorway that changes how the mohair halo reads. In black, the halo is felt before it is seen: the depth of the colour absorbs light, the open gauge 3 mesh reads as monolithic from a distance, and the mohair halo reveals itself up close as fine fibres extending from the dark surface. Made in Italy by LA HAINE INSIDE US.

Why This Cardigan Is Different

• Gauge 3 Mohair Blend Mesh in Black: 40% polyester, 30% mohair wool, 30% polyamide — a mesh knit at gauge 3, the coarsest gauge in the LA HAINE INSIDE US knitwear range. At gauge 3, the mesh stitches are large and open. In black, the open mesh reads as a dark, dimensional surface from a distance — the depth of the colour absorbing light, the gauge 3 stitches creating shadow within the mesh. Up close, the mohair halo reveals itself: fine fibres extending from the dark yarn, catching light against the black ground.
• Mohair Halo in Black: Mohair is a natural fibre from the Angora goat with a characteristic halo — fine fibres that extend from the yarn surface. In black, the halo reads differently than in mud: the dark ground makes the halo fibres more visible as they catch light, creating a surface that appears to glow slightly at the edges. The halo is felt before it is seen — the softness of the mohair apparent to the touch before the visual effect is apparent to the eye.
• Removable Knit Sash: A sash knitted in the same gauge 3 mohair blend mesh as the cardigan body — worn, it defines the waist and creates a structured, belted silhouette; removed, the cardigan falls as an oversized, unbelted piece. The knit sash matches the texture and halo of the cardigan body.
• Three-Fibre Blend: Polyester (40%) for shape retention and durability; mohair wool (30%) for warmth, halo, and natural lustre; polyamide (30%) for structure and resilience at the open mesh stitches.
• Oversized Silhouette: The cardigan is cut generously — the gauge 3 mohair mesh falling with volume and warmth, the removable sash allowing the silhouette to be defined or left open.
• Made in Italy: Gauge 3 mohair blend mesh knitting and finishing completed in Italy under LA HAINE INSIDE US's atelier standards.

W5422 Black vs. W5422 Mud

The W5422 black and mud share the same gauge 3 mohair blend mesh construction and removable knit sash. The difference is how the mohair halo reads. In mud, the halo is warm and visible — the earthy tone amplifying the organic quality of the mohair. In black, the halo is felt before it is seen — the dark ground absorbing light, the halo revealing itself up close as fine fibres catching light against the black surface. Choose mud for maximum halo visibility and warmth; choose black for a more considered, understated version of the same construction.

The Moment You Put It On

The gauge 3 mohair mesh is immediately warm and tactile — the large stitches open and visible, the mohair halo extending through the gaps in the mesh. In black, the halo is felt before it is seen: the softness of the mohair apparent to the touch, the fine halo fibres catching light against the dark ground as you move. The open gauge 3 mesh reads as monolithic from a distance; up close, the halo reveals the complexity of the surface.

The removable knit sash is made from the same gauge 3 mohair blend mesh — tied at the waist, it defines the silhouette and creates a belted look where the sash texture matches the cardigan texture. Removed, the oversized cardigan falls freely.

The Art of Mohair at Gauge 3

Mohair is a natural fibre from the Angora goat — warmer than sheep's wool by weight, with a natural lustre and a characteristic halo effect where fine fibres extend from the yarn surface. At gauge 3, the coarsest knitting gauge, the mohair halo is at its most pronounced: the larger stitches allow the halo fibres to extend freely through the open mesh. In black, the halo creates a surface that appears to glow slightly at the edges — the dark ground making the fine halo fibres more visible as they catch light. The result is a cardigan that reads as severe from a distance and reveals its warmth and complexity up close.

How to Wear It

• Belted with Knit Sash: Tie the removable knit sash at the waist — the mohair mesh sash matches the cardigan texture, the belted silhouette defining the oversized body.
• Unbelted, Oversized: Remove the sash and wear the cardigan open — the gauge 3 mohair mesh falls with volume and warmth, the halo catching light against the black ground.
• All Black: Combine with other black pieces — the gauge 3 mohair mesh creates natural variation within an all-black palette, the halo adding depth to the monochrome look.
• Over a Base Layer: Wear over a fitted base layer — the open gauge 3 mesh allows the base layer to show through, creating a layered effect where the mohair halo sits above the solid underlayer.

Care Instructions

• Hand wash cold — the mohair content requires gentle handling to preserve the halo and prevent felting
• Do not machine wash — the mohair will felt or lose its halo in a machine cycle
• Do not tumble dry — lay flat to dry to preserve the gauge 3 mesh construction and oversized shape
• Do not iron — steam only at low temperature; direct heat will damage the mohair fibres
• Do not bleach
• Store flat — avoid hanging, which can stretch the gauge 3 mesh over time
• Store the knit sash with the cardigan to prevent loss
