Are hand-dyed pieces consistent in color?

Hand-dyeing is by nature variable. Each piece is dyed individually, so subtle differences in tone and gradation are part of the process. No two hand-dyed pieces are identical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does made-to-order work?

Every piece is made to order. When you place an order, production begins in our Kathmandu studio. The garment is knitted, hand-dyed where applicable, finished, and quality-checked before shipping — approximately 4–5 days, after which your order is dispatched.

Q: Can I request a custom color or size?

Yes. Contact us before placing your order. Because every piece is made to order, adjustments are possible when arranged in advance.

Q: How do I care for merino and cashmere knitwear?

Dry clean is recommended for all merino and cashmere pieces. Some organic cotton pieces are machine washable — check the individual product page. For at-home care, hand washing in cool water with a wool-safe detergent and laying flat to dry is acceptable.

Q: Who is Lars Andersson?

Lars Andersson is a Swedish-American knitwear designer who founded the brand in Brooklyn in the mid-2000s. The label is built around Swedish-minimalist design principles and the craft traditions of hand-loomed knitwear.

Q: Where can I see the knitwear in person?

Lars Andersson is stocked at Maxfield in Los Angeles, Lawrence Covell in Denver, Baby & Company in Seattle, Tea and Oranges in Vancouver, ShopUntitled, and MayerWasner. Select pieces are also available on 1stDibs.

Fibers & Materials

What fibers do you use?

Lars Andersson knitwear is made from three primary fibers: 120's superfine merino wool, cashmere, and organic cotton. Some seasonal pieces incorporate linen or cotton voile for warmer-season wearing. All fibers are selected for fineness, softness, and durability.

What does 120's superfine merino mean?

120's refers to the fineness grade of the merino fiber — a higher number indicates a finer, softer thread. At 120's, the merino is superfine: it wears close to the body without itch, is significantly lighter than standard wool, and regulates temperature naturally. Most of our core knitwear is made from this grade.

Are the hand-dyed pieces consistent in color?

Hand-dyeing is by nature variable. Each piece is dyed individually, so subtle differences in tone, gradation, and depth are part of the process rather than a defect. No two hand-dyed pieces are identical.

Care

How do I care for merino and cashmere knitwear?

Dry clean is recommended for all merino and cashmere pieces to maintain color fastness and fiber integrity. Some organic cotton pieces are machine washable — check the individual product page.
