KOMODO wide wool sweater VITA NAVY made of 100% lambswool
This is not just any loose-fitting sweater. This is a sweater you could practically live in. The VITA by KOMODO is generous, warm, and beautifully hand-knitted from 100% lambswool. The intricate cable pattern, high neck, and extra-wide ribbed cuffs give it a rugged, luxurious look.
The main color is dark NAVY, with a subtle stripe in bright COBALT at the cuffs. A small detail, but just enough to make this dark blue cable-knit sweater stand out. VITA has a substantial winter weight and can be worn on its own or layered over a thin shirt.

How does the KOMODO VITA fit?
The VITA fits very generously indeed. That is why we have deliberately stocked it in only two sizes. So don't be put off by the limited number of sizes: for this sweater, one size covers multiple standard clothing sizes.
-
Size S: easily fits clothing sizes 34 to 38
-
Size M: easily fits clothing sizes 40 to 44
For smaller clothing sizes, the sweater naturally hangs looser and more oversized. If you are at the upper end of the size range, it will still be roomy, but slightly less voluminous. The dropped shoulders and generous sleeves are part of the design. Don't expect a fitted cable-knit sweater that hugs your waist. VITA needs space and it takes it. Rightly so.
How to style this wide wool sweater?
Because of its oversized design, the VITA looks beautiful with straight or slightly narrower trousers. Pair it with jeans and sneakers for a comfortable everyday outfit. Combine it with wide-leg trousers or a long skirt if you prefer a completely loose, layered look.
NAVY pairs well with almost anything. Think denim, ecru, gray, camel, rust brown, or olive green. The deep blue also looks great with patchwork trousers. The cable texture is a statement in itself, so you don't need to overcomplicate the rest of your outfit.
Is lambswool suitable for everyday wear?
Lambswool is warm, breathable, and resilient. The fibers trap a lot of air, providing warmth without the need for synthetic padding. However, this is a sturdy winter sweater and not a thin, fine-knit piece to wear under a tight jacket.
How wool feels on the skin is a personal matter. Lambswool can feel slightly coarser than, for example, merino wool or alpaca. Do you have sensitive skin? Wear a thin cotton or wool-silk long-sleeved shirt underneath.
How to wash the KOMODO VITA
Fortunately, you hardly need to wash wool. Hang the sweater outside regularly to freshen it up and let it rest after wearing. Is washing necessary after all? Then follow the care label and hand wash the VITA in cool water. Use a small amount of Lanalicious wool detergent. The lanolin helps keep the wool soft and supple.
Do not wring, do not tumble dry, and do not hang it up while wet. Especially with such a generous sweater, the weight of the water can stretch the fabric out of shape. Gently press the water out of the wool, reshape the sweater, and let it dry flat. You can find more explanation in our video about washing wool and in the care guide you receive with every purchase.
Pilling is not a drama
A wool sweater can pill due to friction. That is normal, especially with a soft, chunky-knit garment. You can gently remove pilling with a Gleener fabric shaver. This keeps the cable pattern clearly visible and your sweater looking well-maintained.
