Motiv Minotaur Knit Wool French Terry Natural

Motiv Minotaur Knit Wool French Terry Natural, a thermal technical knit for year-round use.

A special development of MotivMfg that explores the potentials of wool as a base layer. Sourcing the best 60s mercerized wool yarn, they were able to create this high density jersey that is incredibly stable and pleasant against the skin. The mercerization process also renders the fabric machine washable. It took Motiv 9 months to develop the wool to such a form and functionality. The complicated process of interlinking loops to develop the terry wool means this material is very delicate and a bit prone to snagging, which requires delicate handling and washing in a laundry bag. Please know that snags, pulled loops, can be easily fixed by giving the fabric a good pull along the weft (horizontally) direction and gently rub the surface. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions on this.

Design: Inspired by Finnish military smocks, gussets have been added on either side of the collar, allowing it to be worn open with layers or closed for warmth. When worn open, the front collar resembles bull horns, hence the name “Minotaur”.
