Description

Chunky cardigan hand knitted from soft extra-fine merino wool for a bold, cozy and sculptural handmade look. This super chunky cardigan has a cropped length, open front, loose oversized fit and relaxed 3/4 sleeves, making it an easy statement layer for spring, autumn and cool summer evenings.

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

Wear this chunky cardigan over a simple top, dress or shirt when you want warmth, texture and a strong handmade accent without a full-length cardigan silhouette.

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 very 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.
