Mansted is a personal knitwear collection designed and developed by Charlotte Mansted.
It takes a bit of knowledge to fully appreciate Mansted knit. Notice the little fully fashion marks at the armhole showing that it is knit piece by piece and not cut from a roll of fabric. This gives an excellent opportunity to make unique details and pieces, only possible in knitwear, and still at affordable prices.
Yarns are as pure as possible, or a mix of pure qualities, in cotton, linen/hemp, wool & yak - striving to have qualities that feel soft to the skin.
Knitwear pieces are linked together, actually knit together, stitching into each stitch. this produces a very flat finish, not bulky, with hardly any seam allowance. unique to knitwear are the many special edges you can create.
yak & wool : to protect the environment – airing garments outside can be used instead of every second wash, especially if damp outside. we recommend handwash in 30°C tepid water with liquid wool soap. place garment flat while drying. use steam iron.
cotton & linen/hemp : machine wash on the wool programme, at 30°C with mild liquid soap. turn inside out. place garment flat while drying – away from the sun. use steam iron.
