Description

Oversized chunky knit cardigan hand knitted from soft extra-fine merino wool for a warm, bold and relaxed handmade layer. This open-front cardigan has dropped shoulders, long sleeves and an intentionally oversized shape that creates a cozy statement silhouette.

The cardigan is made from our hand-spun chunky merino wool yarn with a lightly felted surface. This gives the yarn a smoother texture, helps it hold its shape better and makes the cardigan more practical to wear than untreated roving wool. The thick stitches create a sculptural chunky knit look, while the soft merino wool keeps it comfortable and cozy.

The extra-long sleeves can be folded back like soft cuffs or worn long and slightly gathered at the wrist for a relaxed oversized silhouette. You can also choose an extra length option if you prefer a longer cardigan style.

Yarn Details
Yarn Details

Our chunky yarn is 100% handmade. It is hand-spun from 100% extra fine merino wool 18,5 microns from Italy. It is the best and premium merino quality in a market known for its extra softness and silkiness. It is a single ply, popular roving type yarn with a slight twist. Merino yarn goes through all necessary stages from fiber preparation to a spinning on a spinning wheel and washing to make lightly felted. This helps to fix the form of the yarn and get smooth textured surface with a unique look and soft feel. It allows knitwear to be more practical, helps reduce pilling and shedding.

Care
  • Professional dry cleaning once a season is recommended.
  • For everyday care, gently air the cardigan after wearing and store it folded, not hanging, to help keep its shape.
  • A fabric shaver may be used gently to refresh the surface if light pilling appears with wear. This is normal for soft natural merino wool, especially in areas of friction such as the sleeves, sides and underarms.
  • Gentle hand washing in cool water is possible if needed. Do not rub, twist or agitate the cardigan. Lay flat to dry. Please note that chunky wool becomes heavy when wet.
  • Machine washing is possible only on a very gentle wool cycle in cool water, but it may change the original look and feel of the yarn. The stitches may become more compact, and the cardigan may lose some of its soft chunky volume. For best results, professional dry cleaning or gentle hand washing is recommended.
