Different shades of green run through the yarn, giving the sweater beautiful depth. Fresh green from a distance, nicely variegated when you take a closer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd then there's the knitting. Cables, diamonds, and various structures run across the front, the sleeves, and the back. This makes for plenty of visual interest, while the green color keeps the sweater easy to combine. Warm, rugged, and a lot more interesting than the umpteenth smooth-knitted men's pullover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the RASTA GREEN is such a beautiful sweater\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMade of 100% extra-fine merino wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMega soft and comfortable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRich, variegated green tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCables, diamonds, and different knitting structures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe pattern continues across the front, sleeves, and back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRound neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLong sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRibbed cuffs at the neck, sleeves, and hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStraight regular fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFits true to size to slightly small\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eChoose the larger size if in doubt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSmall THINKING MU label at the bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFor men\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThat green mélange makes it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe RASTA GREEN isn't just solid green. Various green nuances are incorporated into the yarn, giving the color much more depth. You see fresh, dark, and slightly lighter green shades mixed together. It is precisely this mélange that ensures the elaborate cable pattern is beautifully visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a green men's sweater that stands out without being loud. It brings color to your winter wardrobe, but is just as easy to pull on as a dark blue or gray sweater. For men who are open to some green, as long as it doesn't immediately scream \"Christmas tree.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA cable pattern from front to back\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith this sweater, THINKING MU didn't stop halfway through the knitting process. The elaborate knitting pattern continues across almost the entire sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the front, different cables are alternated with diamond-shaped motifs and other knitted structures. The sleeves and back are also extensively worked. This gives the RASTA a rich, almost artisanal look and makes the sweater interesting from every angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ribbed round neck, cuffs, and hem provide a nice finish and help the sweater maintain its shape. At the bottom, there is a small dark THINKING MU label as a subtle detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMega soft extra-fine merino wool\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe RASTA is made of extra-fine merino wool. Merino wool consists of finer fibers than many coarser types of wool and therefore feels more supple and softer. This is truly the kind of sweater you want to pet when walking past the rack. Perfectly normal behavior at Natur-el.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMerino wool is warm without becoming unnecessarily heavy or stiff. Wool can hold a lot of air between the fibers and helps regulate your body temperature. This makes this cable knit sweater wonderful during cold days, but it also remains pleasant when you walk from outside into a heated room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow wool feels on the skin is, of course, a personal matter. Extra-fine merino feels much softer than classic, coarser wool, but every skin reacts differently. Are you very sensitive to wool? Then wear a soft cotton or wool-silk shirt underneath, or come and try on the sweater with us first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing advice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe RASTA has a straight regular fit. It is not overly loose, but also not tight. The length is quite classic and the ribbed hem falls approximately at the hip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe sweater fits true to size to slightly small.\u003c\/strong\u003e Are you between two sizes, do you have broad shoulders, or do you like wearing a sweater a bit looser? Then choose the larger size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter all, THINKING MU is a Spanish brand, and Spanish centimeters sometimes behave a little more modestly than Dutch ones. If you want to wear the sweater fitted, you can choose your usual size. If you want some extra room, for example, to wear a shirt underneath, take one size larger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to style the RASTA GREEN\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe variegated green tone combines surprisingly easily. In the photo, the model wears the sweater with dark, loose-fitting jeans. That is immediately a very good combination: simple, rugged, and the rich knitting pattern gets all the attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eEveryday:\u003c\/strong\u003e wear the sweater with dark jeans and sneakers or leather shoes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeater:\u003c\/strong\u003e combine it with dark blue or anthracite-colored trousers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith a shirt:\u003c\/strong\u003e let a white or light blue collar subtly protrude above the round neck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutumnal:\u003c\/strong\u003e combine the green mélange with brown, rust-colored, or sand-colored corduroy trousers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eTon-sur-ton:\u003c\/strong\u003e wear it with dark olive-colored trousers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the distinct knitting structure, the sweater needs little embellishment. Good trousers, nice shoes, and you're done. Saves a whole meeting in front of the wardrobe in the morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eYou don't have to wash wool all the time\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWool has natural dirt- and odor-resistant properties. This means you have to wash this sweater much less often than, for example, a cotton sweater. Hang it out to air after wearing it. Often it will be fresh enough for the next wear after that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWashing less often is better for the merino wool, the color, and the shape of the sweater. A wool cable knit sweater usually isn't made happier by a weekly trip through the washing machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to wash the RASTA GREEN\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAlways check the wash label in the sweater first.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOnly wash the sweater when absolutely necessary.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eUse a cold and gentle wool wash program or wash carefully by hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eChoose a low spin speed and avoid strong temperature changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eUse a small amount of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/lanalicious-wasmiddel\"\u003eLanalicious wool detergent with lanolin\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use regular detergent or fabric softener.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDo not let the sweater soak for a long time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDo not wring, scrub, or rub hard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGently reshape the sweater after washing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLet it dry flat on a dry towel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDo not put it in the dryer and do not place it on or against a heater.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStore the sweater preferably lying flat so it doesn't stretch on a hanger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor woolen clothing, we recommend our own \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/lanalicious-wasmiddel\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanalicious wool detergent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e. This mild wool detergent contains lanolin and has been specially developed for the careful washing of, among other things, merino wool, cashmere, alpaca, and wool-silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat do you do if the sweater starts to pill?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith natural wool, small fluff or balls can occur over time. This happens especially in places where there is a lot of friction, such as under the arms, along the sides, or where a jacket, backpack, or shoulder bag rubs against the sweater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePilling does not mean the wool is of poor quality. They are loose fibers that come to the surface due to movement and form small balls there. Especially a new wool sweater can shed some extra fibers at the beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/gleener-pluizenkam-voor-het-ontpillen-van-wollen-k\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGleener fabric shaver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, you can carefully remove those pills without pulling on the wool. Choose the right attachment, lay the sweater flat, and work calmly without pressing hard. If in doubt, try the Gleener first on an inconspicuous spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePreferably do not use a cheap razor blade. One enthusiastic stroke and you suddenly have a cable knit sweater with a ventilation hole. That was not the intention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the THINKING MU RASTA GREEN\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the RASTA GREEN made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sweater is made of 100% extra-fine merino wool. The wool feels supple and remarkably soft and provides fine warmth without the sweater becoming unnecessarily heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this sweater fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe RASTA has a regular fit and fits true to size to slightly small. Are you in doubt between two sizes, do you have broad shoulders, or do you like to wear it a bit looser? Then choose the larger size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes extra-fine merino wool itch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExtra-fine merino wool generally feels much softer than coarser wool. This sweater is therefore mega soft. How wool feels on the skin remains personal, so with sensitive skin, we recommend trying it on first or wearing it over a soft shirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the color solid green?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and that's the beauty of it. Various green nuances are incorporated into the yarn. This creates a lively mélange and gives the cable pattern extra depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the cable pattern only on the front?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The various cables, diamonds, and knitting structures also continue across the sleeves and the back. The RASTA is therefore beautifully knitted from all sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I wash this merino sweater in the washing machine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlways follow the wash label in the sweater. If machine washing is allowed, use only a cold wool wash program, a low spin speed, and a suitable \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/lanalicious-wasmiddel\"\u003ewool detergent with lanolin\u003c\/a\u003e. Let the sweater dry flat afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat can I do about pills?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePills and small balls can be carefully removed with the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/gleener-pluizenkam-voor-het-ontpillen-van-wollen-k\"\u003eGleener fabric shaver\u003c\/a\u003e. Lay the sweater flat, choose the appropriate attachment, and use little pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I wear the sweater over a shirt?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCertainly. Just keep in mind that the RASTA is not oversized. If you want enough room for a shirt, the larger size might be more comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCome try on the RASTA GREEN in Rotterdam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDo you want to see that beautiful green mélange in real life, feel how soft the merino wool is, or compare two sizes?
