The CARDIGANs collection
Discover the creativity and craftsmanship behind the knits in our new series: UNSPUN.
Here we take a look at our much loved CARDIGAN.
Now available in a longer length.
Designed in homage to the cardigan worn daily by Founder Rachel's grandfather.
The CARDIGAN
Our signature cardigan shape. Inspired by the cardigan worn daily by Founder Rachel's grandfather.
Hitting that sweet spot of being classic, modern and timeless all at the same time, our cardigan really is that 'take me anywhere' piece.
Now available in the longer length you've been asking for. The same much loved silhouette, but instead delicately drapes over the hips for that little bit of extra coverage.
The versatile layering piece. Wear alone or with a blouse. The piece that will work hard in your wardrobe.
On the banks of Loch Leven
Our superfine wool arrives in Scotland by boat once a year, sourced from a special breed of sheep in South Africa. Responsible Wool Certified.
The wool has a fibre diameter of c. 18.5 microns, it is one of the world's finest and softest Lambs Wools (most average 21-24 microns).
The wool arrives in Scotland, where it is spun and dyed on the banks Loch Leven in Kinross by Todd & Duncan, one of the finest Scottish Mills. They use a pioneering and cyclical process that helps to protect the environment in and around the Loch.
Traceable & Scottish-spun
Knitted in our signature soft 100% traceable Scottish-spun Lamb's wool, made in Scotland and finished with a new edition of our sustainably-sourced branded Mother of Pearl buttons and branded Corozo buttons for The CARDIGAN 2.0.
The knitty-gritty
What is the difference be tween the CARDIGAN and the CARDIGAN 2.0?
The CARDIGAN is designed to sit at the hip, whereas the CARDIGAN 2.0 is longer in length for that little bit of extra coverage. They both have the signature v-neck and patch pockets that makes it so elegant and feminine. The CARDIGAN has a boxier cut that makes this a flattering and versatile style. Both pieces are just those right layering pieces for all year round.
What is the process of wool to CARDIGAN?
Made from 100% Superfine Lamb's Wool that is sourced from a special breed of sheep in South Africa.
The wool arrives in Scotland by boat where it is spun and dyed on the banks of Loch Leven in Kinross by Todd & Duncan, one of the finest Scottish Mills which has been spinning yarn for 150+ years.
The yarn is then sent to Hawick in Scotland where our team knit and hand-finish each cardigan. Due to the fully-fashioned knitting technique we employ and as we produce in small batches, there is very little yarn wastage.
What is the best way to style the CARDIGAN?
With our horizontal button placket, matching ribbed cuffs, hem and two patch pockets, whether lounging or dressed up with wide-legged denim, this is a modern shape with 90's sensibility.
We recommend styling with 90's straight leg jeans for a casual elegant look. To dress up, layer over your favourite dress or pair with a shirt and a skirt. Modern and feminine. The cardigan that will work hard for you.
