Lola V-Neck Cardigan – Cashmere Blend Knitwear

The Lola V-neck cardigan is a refined knitwear piece designed with understated elegance, softness and everyday wearability in mind. Crafted from a luxurious 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, this cardigan combines warmth, breathability and structure in a timeless silhouette.

With its deep V neckline, relaxed shape and distinctive crossover front, Lola offers a modern interpretation of the classic V-neck cardigan. Soft enough for comfort, structured enough for regular wear, and elegant enough for both casual and polished styling, it is designed to become a versatile wardrobe staple.

Why This V-Neck Cardigan Stands Out

  • Soft and warm 30% cashmere / 70% lambswool blend
  • 7gg / 3ply knit construction for warmth and structure
  • Elegant deep V neckline for a flattering shape
  • Distinctive crossover front with subtle metal fastening
  • Relaxed silhouette for comfortable everyday wear
  • Ribbed cuffs and hem for a refined finish
  • Designed as a versatile luxury layering piece

The Lola V-neck cardigan is designed with a deep neckline that naturally elongates the upper body and frames the collarbone. The crossover front gives the cardigan its modern character, creating a soft overlapping shape that feels elegant without looking formal.

A delicate metal fastening detail sits discreetly at the centre, holding the front panels together while adding a subtle design accent. The set-in sleeves follow the natural shoulder line, giving the cardigan a balanced fit through the upper body, while the relaxed shape allows it to drape comfortably.

Finished with ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem, Lola sits neatly at the hip and keeps its shape beautifully. The overall effect is relaxed, refined and easy to style.

Knitted in a 7gg / 3ply construction, Lola has a slightly fuller texture than a fine lightweight knit. This gives the cardigan warmth, softness and gentle structure while keeping it comfortable for layering.

The 30% cashmere content gives the knit a soft and luxurious hand feel, while the 70% lambswool adds durability, insulation and shape retention. This makes Lola a practical choice for those who want a V-neck cardigan that feels premium but can still be worn often.

A 100% cashmere cardigan is exceptionally soft, but it can be more delicate for everyday wear. A cashmere and lambswool blend offers a more balanced option, combining softness with strength and structure.

The cashmere adds comfort and warmth, while the lambswool helps the cardigan retain its shape over time. This makes the Lola V-neck cardigan ideal for regular styling across the seasons.

This V-neck cardigan is designed for those who appreciate relaxed luxury, clean lines and timeless knitwear. It is ideal if you want a cardigan that feels soft and comfortable but still looks polished.

Lola works beautifully over a camisole, layered with a fine roll neck, or styled with a simple T-shirt. Wear it with tailored trousers for a refined look, with denim for everyday ease, or over a dress or skirt for softer styling.

To keep your cashmere blend jumper looking beautiful, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Do not wring or twist the garment
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to help preserve shape

Is the Lola cardigan a relaxed fit?

Yes. The Lola V-neck cardigan is designed with a relaxed yet refined silhouette. It drapes comfortably through the body while keeping a neat shape at the hem.

What is the Lola V-neck cardigan made from?

Lola is made from a soft blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. This gives the cardigan warmth, softness, breathability and improved durability.

Is this V-neck cardigan suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The cashmere and lambswool blend makes Lola soft enough to feel luxurious while still being practical for regular wear.

What makes this V-neck cardigan different from a classic cardigan?

Lola features a crossover front and subtle metal fastening detail, giving it a more modern and distinctive look than a traditional button-front cardigan.

Is the Lola V-neck cardigan warm?

Yes. The 7gg / 3ply knit construction gives the cardigan a fuller texture, making it warm while still comfortable for layering.

How should I style a V-neck cardigan?

A V-neck cardigan can be styled over a camisole, fine roll neck or simple T-shirt. Lola pairs beautifully with denim, tailored trousers, dresses and skirts.

Will the cardigan keep its shape?

The lambswool content helps the cardigan retain structure. For best results, store it folded and avoid hanging it for long periods.

Is this cardigan good for layering?

Yes. The relaxed fit, deep V neckline and hip-length shape make Lola an excellent layering piece across the seasons.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. A finer gauge creates a lighter, smoother knit, while a higher ply usually gives more warmth and thickness. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Lilia Crew Neck Jumper

The Lilia crew neck jumper is a modern knitwear staple designed for effortless everyday wear. Crafted from a luxurious blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, this knit offers warmth, softness and durability while maintaining a refined appearance.

From the front view, the jumper features a classic ribbed crew neckline that sits neatly at the base of the neck. The neckline is clean and structured, giving the knit a timeless look while ensuring comfort throughout the day.

The shoulder construction uses set-in sleeves, creating a traditional tailored silhouette that sits neatly across the shoulders and chest. This classic construction enhances the natural shape of the garment while maintaining a polished appearance.

The sleeves are finished with elongated ribbed cuffs, providing both comfort and subtle texture. These cuffs can be worn extended for a sleek silhouette or gently pushed up for a relaxed styling option.

At the waist, a deep ribbed hem anchors the shape of the jumper and ensures it sits neatly at the hip. The rib structure provides definition to the silhouette while balancing the smooth knit body of the garment.

Knitted in an 8gg / 3ply construction, the Lilia jumper has a slightly fuller knit structure that delivers warmth without excessive weight. The cashmere blend provides softness against the skin, while lambswool adds durability and resilience.

Versatile and timeless, the Lilia Crew Neck Jumper pairs effortlessly with denim, tailored trousers or skirts, making it a dependable piece within a modern knitwear wardrobe.

Different Types of Ply:

12 Gauge / 2 Ply

12 gauge, 2 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

12-gauge/2-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has two strands twisted together (2-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 12 stitches per inch (12-gauge). This type of knit fabric will have a relatively fine texture and high density, making it suitable for garments with a close, fitted, or refined look, such as lightweight sweaters, dresses, or accessories like gloves and scarves.

The 2-ply yarn adds strength and structure to the fabric while maintaining a balanced thickness, ensuring the knitted items are durable and long-lasting.

8 Gauge / 2 Ply

8 gauge, 2 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

8-gauge/2-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has two strands twisted together (2-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 8 stitches per inch (8-gauge). This type of knit fabric will have a moderate thickness and density, making it suitable for garments like sweaters, cardigans, and hats, as well as accessories like scarves and mittens.

The 8-gauge allows for a comfortable balance of warmth and breathability, and the 2-ply yarn provides durability and structure to the fabric.

8 Gauge / 4 Ply

8 gauge, 4 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

8-gauge/4-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has four strands twisted together (4-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 8 stitches per inch (8-gauge). This type of knit fabric will have a moderate thickness and density, making it suitable for a wide range of projects. It can be used to create garments like sweaters, cardigans, and hats, as well as accessories like scarves and mittens.

The 8-gauge allows for a comfortable balance of warmth and breathability, and the 4-ply yarn provides durability and structure to the fabric. Since this gauge is not too fine or too bulky, it offers versatility in projects and allows for a good knitting speed.

7 Gauge / 6 Ply

7 gauge, 6 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

7-gauge/6-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has six strands twisted together (6-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 7 stitches per inch (7-gauge). Due to its thickness and warmth  is well-suited for creating cozy and cold-weather garments such as heavy sweaters, jackets, blankets, and scarves.

The 7-gauge creates larger stitches and a more open texture, resulting in a fabric that drapes well and is suitable for layering. The 6-ply yarn adds strength and structure, making the finished knitted items more resilient and long-lasting.

4 Gauge / 10 Ply

4 gauge, 10 ply cashmere cotton and cashmere sample

4-gauge/10-ply knit” refers to a knitted fabric made with a yarn that has ten strands twisted together (10-ply) and is knitted at a gauge of approximately 4 stitches per inch (4-gauge). This type of knit fabric will have a substantial thickness and density, making it ideal for projects that require extra warmth and durability.

The 4-gauge creates larger stitches and a more open texture, resulting in a fabric that drapes well and is suitable for layering. The 10-ply yarn adds significant thickness and warmth, making the finished knitted items perfect for cold-weather garments.

Ochre Knitwear Cashmere Mix Wool

Cashmere mix fabric is made by blending cashmere and lambs wool together. In this particular blend, the fabric is composed of 30% cashmere and 70% lambs wool.

100% Cashmere:

Cashmere is a luxurious, fine, and soft fiber that is obtained from the undercoat of cashmere goats. It is known for its exceptional warmth and softness, making it a popular choice for clothing and accessories.

100% Lambs Wool:

Lambs wool, on the other hand, is a softer and finer type of wool that comes from the first shearing of a lamb. It is lightweight, warm, and insulating, making it a great material for clothing, especially in cold weather.

Mixture:

When cashmere and lambs wool are blended together, the resulting fabric combines the best qualities of both fibers. The cashmere provides softness and warmth, while the lambs wool provides durability and insulation. The resulting fabric is lighter and softer than pure lambs wool, but more durable and insulating than pure cashmere.

Overall, a cashmere mix fabric containing 30% cashmere and 70% lambs wool is a versatile and high-quality material that offers a balance of comfort, warmth, and durability.

Zen Contrast Trim Cardigan – Cashmere Blend Cardigan with Statement Edging

The Zen contrast trim cardigan brings a crisp, modern detail to soft luxury knitwear. Designed with a clean button-through front, delicate mother-of-pearl buttons and striking contrast edging, Zen has a quietly graphic look while still feeling soft, wearable and elegant.

Knitted from a luxurious 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, this cashmere blend cardigan has warmth, comfort and natural breathability. The 8 Gauge / 4 Ply construction gives the cardigan a beautifully substantial feel without making it bulky, making it ideal for layering through changing seasons.

The contrast trim frames the neckline, button placket, cuffs and hem, giving the cardigan a polished finish from every angle. Wear it closed as a neat knitted top, open over a camisole, or layered under a coat for a refined everyday look.

Why This Contrast Trim Cardigan Stands Out:

Zen stands out because of its edging. The contrast trim gives the cardigan a strong visual line without making it feel loud or over-designed. It frames the garment beautifully, drawing attention to the neckline, front opening, cuffs and hem.

The mother-of-pearl buttons add a softer detail against the clean trim. They catch the light gently and give the cardigan a more premium finish than ordinary buttons. Together, the buttons and contrast edging create a cardigan that feels thoughtful, polished and quietly distinctive.

This is a women’s luxury cardigan for someone who likes simple shapes with a design twist. It has the comfort of premium knitwear, but the contrast finish makes it feel sharper and more styled than a plain cardigan.

The Zen cardigan has a neat, relaxed shape that sits comfortably on the body without clinging. The button-through front gives you styling flexibility, so you can wear it fully fastened, half buttoned, or open as a soft layer.

The rounded neckline keeps the look clean and easy to wear. It sits neatly under coats and jackets, but also looks beautiful on its own because the contrast trim creates a natural frame around the face and collarbone.

The hemline is short enough to work well with high-waisted trousers, skirts and dresses. It gives the cardigan a fresh, balanced proportion rather than a heavy or oversized look.

Zen is made from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend. The cashmere gives softness and a luxurious feel, while the lambswool adds warmth, structure and everyday durability.

The 8 Gauge / 4 Ply knit gives the cardigan a more substantial feel than a very fine knit. It feels cosy and reliable, but still smooth enough to wear indoors or layer comfortably.

This is premium knitwear designed for real wardrobes: soft enough to feel special, practical enough to wear often, and detailed enough to make simple outfits look finished.

A contrast trim cardigan is perfect when you want knitwear that feels classic but not plain. The clean edging adds definition, helping the cardigan stand out without relying on bold prints or heavy decoration.

Zen works especially well because the contrast detail is placed with purpose. It outlines the cardigan, highlights the buttons and gives the whole piece a boutique finish.

It is a strong choice if you want a cashmere blend cardigan that can move between casual, smart and creative styling. With jeans, it feels fresh and relaxed. With tailored trousers, it looks polished. Over a dress, it adds softness with a little edge.

Zen is for someone who loves soft knitwear but wants a little personality in the detail. It suits women who prefer elegant everyday pieces with a modern finish.

It is ideal if you like cardigans that can be styled in more than one way. Wear it as a buttoned knit top for a neat look, open over a vest for easy layering, or tucked slightly into high-waisted trousers for a more styled silhouette.

This cardigan is especially good for anyone building a wardrobe around pieces that feel timeless, but not boring.

To keep your Zen contrast trim cardigan soft, smooth and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care.

Hand wash cold or dry clean.
Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent.
Fasten the buttons before washing to help protect the shape.
Do not wring or twist the garment.
Reshape the neckline, cuffs, hem and button placket while damp.
Lay flat to dry naturally.
Store folded rather than hanging to help preserve the shoulders and trim.

What is a contrast trim cardigan?

A contrast trim cardigan features edging in a different colour from the main body. On Zen, the contrast trim appears at the neckline, button placket, cuffs and hem for a clean, defined finish.

What is the Zen contrast trim cardigan made from?

Zen is made from a soft blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, giving it warmth, softness, breathability and improved durability.

Is this contrast trim cardigan suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The cashmere and lambswool blend makes Zen soft enough to feel luxurious while still being practical for regular wear.

Does the cardigan have buttons?

Yes. Zen features 15 small mother-of-pearl buttons down the front, creating a neat button-through silhouette.

Is the Zen cardigan warm?

Yes. The 8 Gauge / 4 Ply knit construction gives the cardigan warmth and structure while still allowing comfortable layering.

How should I style a contrast trim cardigan?

Style it buttoned as a knit top with tailored trousers, wear it open over a camisole, or layer it over dresses and skirts for a refined everyday look.

Will the cardigan keep its shape?

The lambswool content helps the cardigan retain structure. For best results, store it folded and avoid hanging it for long periods.

Kitty Cashmere Blend Relaxed Jumper – Lightweight Drop Shoulder Knitwear

The Kitty cashmere blend relaxed jumper is made for women who like knitwear to feel easy, soft and beautifully uncomplicated. It has a loose, fluid shape with dropped shoulders, a wide crew neckline and a longer back hem, giving it that effortless throw-on feeling while still looking considered.

Knitted from a premium 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, Kitty feels light on the body but warm in touch. The front stays clean and minimal, while the vertical rib panel at the back adds a subtle design detail that makes the jumper interesting from behind as well as the front.

This is relaxed fit knitwear with a softer attitude: simple enough for everyday wear, refined enough for luxury layering, and especially useful when you want comfort without losing shape.

Why Kitty’s Relaxed Shape Stands Out

  • Premium 30% cashmere / 70% lambswool blend for softness and natural warmth
  • 12gg / 2-ply knit for a finer, lighter feel
  • Relaxed body shape that moves easily rather than clinging
  • Dropped shoulders for a soft, casual drape
  • Wide crew neckline that feels clean and open
  • Longer back hem for extra movement and gentle coverage
  • Vertical ribbed back panel for a quiet design detail
  • Rolled edges for a softer, less formal finish
  • One-size silhouette designed for easy layering

Kitty is designed with a calm front and a more detailed back, which gives the jumper a lovely balance. From the front, it looks clean, simple and easy. From the back, the vertical rib panel adds texture and gives the silhouette a more considered finish.

The dropped shoulders are what give Kitty its relaxed character. Instead of sitting sharply at the shoulder line, the knit falls softly, creating a gentle drape through the sleeves and body. It feels comfortable without looking careless.

The longer back hem is another important detail. It gives extra coverage and creates movement when worn over trousers, denim or layered shirts. The wide crew neckline keeps the look fresh and simple, making this drop shoulder jumper easy to wear on its own or with a fine layer underneath.

Kitty is knitted in a 12gg / 2-ply cashmere blend, giving it a lighter and finer feel than heavier winter knitwear. It is soft, breathable and comfortable indoors, while still warm enough to feel cosy on cooler days.

The cashmere adds smoothness and luxury, while the lambswool brings resilience, warmth and shape retention. This balance is especially useful in a relaxed jumper, because the fabric needs to drape softly without losing its form.

The rolled neckline and hem keep the finish natural rather than structured. The result is luxury knitwear that feels effortless, wearable and quietly special.

A cashmere blend relaxed jumper is a beautiful choice when you want softness, warmth and ease in one piece. Kitty has the comfort of a favourite everyday knit, but the fabric blend and back rib detail make it feel more elevated than a basic jumper.

The relaxed fit gives room to move, while the fine 12gg knit keeps the shape light rather than bulky. It is ideal for layering across the seasons and works especially well in a UK wardrobe, where knitwear often needs to be warm, breathable and easy to adapt.

For anyone searching for a women’s luxury sweater in the UK, Kitty offers a soft, modern alternative to heavier knits. It feels relaxed, but it still has the quality and finish expected from premium knitwear.

This jumper is for women who like their knitwear soft, practical and a little understated. It suits those who prefer relaxed fit knitwear, natural fibres and easy shapes that do not need complicated styling.

Wear Kitty with jeans for a simple everyday look, with wide-leg trousers for a softer modern silhouette, or over a crisp shirt so the longer back hem adds depth and movement. It also layers beautifully under coats because the knit is lightweight rather than bulky.

Kitty is a good choice when you want a cashmere jumper women can reach for again and again: comfortable at home, polished enough for daytime plans, and easy to dress up with jewellery, boots or tailored pieces.

To keep your Kitty cashmere blend relaxed jumper soft, smooth and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the wide neckline, rolled edges and back hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the dropped shoulder shape

What makes Kitty a cashmere blend relaxed jumper?

Kitty is made from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, with a relaxed one-size shape, dropped shoulders and a longer back hem. This gives it softness, warmth and an easy modern silhouette.

Is Kitty a lightweight jumper?

Yes. Kitty is knitted in a 12gg / 2-ply construction, so it feels lighter and finer than a chunky winter jumper while still offering natural warmth.

What is special about the back of the jumper?

The back has a vertical rib panel that adds texture and visual length. It is a subtle detail, but it makes the jumper feel more designed than a plain relaxed knit.

Does the longer back hem give extra coverage?

Yes. The back length is longer than the front, giving soft coverage and creating gentle movement when worn over trousers, denim or layered shirts.

Is this a drop shoulder jumper?

Yes. Kitty has dropped shoulders, which help the jumper fall naturally and give it a relaxed, easy drape.

Can I layer Kitty over a shirt?

Yes. The generous chest width, dropped shoulders and longer back hem make it very easy to layer over shirts, fine roll necks or simple base layers.

Is the neckline close-fitting?

No. Kitty has a wide crew neckline, so it sits more openly around the collarbone than a tight crew neck, while still giving comfortable coverage.

Which colour is easier to wear?

Chalk Blue feels fresh and soft for everyday styling. Monet Pink is a little warmer and more expressive, but still gentle enough to wear with neutrals.

Is Kitty suitable for relaxed fit knitwear lovers?

Yes. Kitty is ideal if you like knitwear that feels loose, soft and comfortable, but still has thoughtful details such as the ribbed back panel and high-low hem.

Can this jumper look smart as well as casual?

Yes. Wear it with tailored trousers, simple jewellery and leather shoes for a polished daytime look, or keep it casual with denim and trainers.

How should I store this jumper?

Store Kitty folded rather than hanging. This helps protect the dropped shoulders, rolled edges and relaxed shape over time.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Cornish Crew Neck Jumper  with Contrast Trim

The Cornish crew neck jumper is a fresh take on the everyday knit: simple in shape, soft in handle and finished with a flash of colour at the trims. Designed for easy wear rather than over-styling, it brings the comfort of a classic jumper together with a brighter Ochre detail.

Why This Crew Neck Jumper Stands Out

  • Luxurious 30% cashmere / 70% lambswool blend
  • Fine gauge knit for a smooth, light finish
  • Classic crew neck shape that works across seasons
  • Relaxed fit for comfort without a bulky look
  • Fluro pink contrast tipping for a distinctive Ochre finish
  • Ribbed cuffs and hem to help the jumper sit neatly
  • Soft enough for everyday wear, polished enough for smarter styling
  • Easy to wear with denim, skirts, tailored trousers or layered shirts
  • Available in two colourways: Ivory/Fluro Pink and Navy/Fluro Pink

Cornish is built around a true wardrobe favourite: the crew neck jumper. The neckline is neat, familiar and easy to style, giving the piece a clean frame without feeling too close or formal.

The relaxed body gives the jumper a soft, comfortable fit. It has enough ease to layer over a shirt, but the fine gauge knit keeps the shape refined rather than slouchy. Ribbed trims at the cuffs and hem help the garment sit neatly, so it feels casual but still considered.

The contrast tipping is the design detail that changes the mood. Instead of a plain finish, the fluro pink edge adds a small line of energy at the trims, making the jumper feel more personal, playful and recognisably Ochre.

Cornish is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, giving it the softness and warmth of natural fibres with a smooth, breathable feel. The cashmere adds a gentle luxury touch, while the lambswool brings structure, comfort and everyday resilience.

The fine gauge knit makes this jumper lighter than a chunky winter style. It is warm without feeling heavy, which makes it useful for layering under coats, wearing indoors, or reaching for on cooler spring and autumn days.

It is the kind of knit that feels easy from the first wear: soft, simple and practical, but lifted by the contrast trim so it never feels ordinary.

A crew neck jumper is one of the most dependable pieces in a knitwear wardrobe because it works with almost everything. It can be casual with jeans, cleaner with tailored trousers, softer with skirts, or layered over a collared shirt for a sharper look.

Cornish keeps the shape classic but adds a modern trim detail, so it feels more individual than a plain jumper. The contrast edge gives the eye somewhere to land without making the garment difficult to style.

This makes it a good choice if you want an everyday jumper that still has a little spark — something soft and wearable, but not invisible.

Cornish is for someone who likes simple knitwear with one clever detail. It suits women who want comfort, softness and a relaxed shape, but still enjoy a touch of colour in their wardrobe.

Wear it with denim for easy weekends, with navy or cream trousers for a cleaner look, or over a white shirt when you want the crew neck to feel a little smarter. The shape is uncomplicated, so the contrast trim can do the talking.

It is especially useful for everyday dressing: school runs, studio days, travel, relaxed workwear, coastal walks or any moment when you want luxury knitwear that feels natural rather than dressed up.

To keep your Cornish crew neck jumper soft, fresh and neatly shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Wash inside out to help protect the contrast tipping
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the neckline, cuffs and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulder line

What makes the Cornish crew neck jumper different?

Cornish has the ease of a classic crew neck jumper, but the fluro pink contrast tipping gives it a brighter, more individual finish.

Is this jumper suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The relaxed fit, fine gauge knit and soft cashmere blend make it comfortable for regular wear, while the trim detail keeps it looking more considered than a basic jumper.

Does the crew neck feel tight?

No. The neckline is designed to sit neatly, but it should feel comfortable and easy rather than restrictive.

Can I wear a shirt underneath?

Yes. Cornish works well layered over a shirt, especially if you want the collar to show at the neckline for a smarter look.

Which colourway is easiest to style?

Navy/Fluro Pink is the more classic option and pairs easily with denim, black, grey and neutral tones. Ivory/Fluro Pink feels lighter, fresher and more playful.

Is the fluro pink trim very bold?

The trim is noticeable, but it is placed at the edges, so it adds colour without taking over the whole jumper.

Is Cornish a heavy winter jumper?

No. It is a soft fine gauge knit, so it feels lighter than chunky knitwear. It still gives warmth from the cashmere and lambswool blend, but without heaviness.

Can this jumper be dressed up?

Yes. Style it with tailored trousers, a neat coat or simple jewellery for a cleaner look. The crew neck shape makes it easy to move between casual and smarter outfits.

Will the ribbed cuffs and hem help the fit?

Yes. The ribbed trims help the jumper sit neatly at the sleeves and hem, giving the relaxed shape a more finished outline.

How should I care for the contrast trim?

Wash gently, avoid twisting the knit, and reshape the cuffs, hem and neckline while damp. Dry flat to help the trims stay neat.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. A finer gauge usually creates a lighter, smoother knit, while ply influences thickness and warmth. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Cornish Crew Neck Jumper

The Cornish crew neck jumper is a soft, lightweight knit designed for everyday ease, gentle colour contrast and refined comfort. Crafted from a luxurious 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, Cornish brings together softness, breathability and natural warmth in a clean, wearable silhouette. With its classic crew neckline, relaxed fit and subtle fluro pink tipping, this crew neck jumper feels simple at first glance but carefully finished in the details. It is an easy piece to wear with denim, tailored trousers, skirts or layered over shirts for a relaxed but polished look.

Why This Crew Neck Jumper Stands Out:

  • Soft 30% cashmere / 70% lambswool blend
  • Fine gauge knit for a smooth, lightweight feel
  • Classic crew neckline for timeless styling
  • Relaxed fit for comfort and easy layering
  • Subtle fluro pink contrast tipping for a modern finish
  • Ribbed cuffs and hem for shape and structure
  • Breathable natural fibres for year-round wear
  • Available in two size options: S/M and M/L

Design & Fit

Cornish is designed around a classic crew neckline, giving the jumper a clean and familiar shape that is easy to style. The neckline sits neatly without feeling tight, making it comfortable worn alone or layered over a shirt or fine base layer. The relaxed silhouette gives the jumper natural ease through the body, while the smooth fine gauge knit keeps the overall look refined rather than bulky. It is soft enough for casual everyday wear, but polished enough to style with smarter pieces. The fluro pink contrast tipping adds a distinctive Ochre touch. Placed subtly at the trims, it lifts the design without overpowering the simplicity of the jumper. The ribbed cuffs and hem help the knit sit neatly and give the garment a softly structured finish.

Fabric & Feel

Made from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, Cornish feels soft, warm and breathable. The cashmere adds a smooth, luxurious touch, while the lambswool brings structure, insulation and everyday durability. The fine gauge knit gives this jumper a lighter feel than a chunky winter knit, making it ideal for layering across seasons. It offers warmth without heaviness and works beautifully under jackets, coats or gilets.

Why Choose a Crew Neck Jumper?

A crew neck jumper is one of the most versatile knitwear shapes because it works with almost every wardrobe. It can be worn casually with denim, dressed up with tailored trousers, or layered over a collared shirt for a sharper look. Cornish keeps that timeless crew neck shape but adds a softer, more contemporary finish through its relaxed fit and contrast tipping. It is simple enough to become a daily favourite, but detailed enough to feel special.

Who This Crew Neck Jumper Is For

This crew neck jumper is designed for those who like easy luxury, clean knitwear and small design details that make a piece feel more personal. It is ideal if you want something soft, light and wearable, without choosing a plain basic. Wear Cornish with jeans and trainers for relaxed weekend style, layer it over a crisp shirt for a smarter everyday outfit, or pair it with wide-leg trousers for a simple, modern silhouette.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Cornish jumper different from a plain crew neck?

Cornish has the simplicity of a classic crew neck jumper, but the fluro pink contrast tipping adds a modern, playful detail that makes it feel more distinctive.

Is the crew neckline close-fitting?

No. The neckline is classic and neat, but designed to feel comfortable rather than tight. It works well worn alone or layered over a shirt.

Which colourway is more versatile?

Navy / Fluro Pink is the more classic option and easy to wear with denim, black, grey and neutrals. Ivory / Fluro Pink feels fresher and brighter.

Can I layer a shirt underneath?

Yes. The relaxed fit and crew neckline make Cornish easy to layer over a collared shirt, especially if you want the collar to show neatly at the neck.

Does the contrast tipping make the jumper hard to style?

No. The fluro pink detail is small and placed at the trims, so it adds interest without dominating the outfit. Keep the rest of the look simple and let the trim do the work.

Is this jumper better for spring or winter?

Cornish works well across seasons. The fine gauge knit is light enough for spring layering, while the cashmere and lambswool blend gives soft warmth in cooler weather.

How does the relaxed fit sit on the body?

The jumper has an easy, relaxed shape through the chest and body. It is not designed to cling, but it still keeps a clean outline because of the fine gauge knit.

How should I care for the contrast trim?

Wash gently inside out, avoid wringing, and reshape the trims while damp. Dry the jumper flat so the neckline, cuffs and hem stay neat.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. A finer gauge creates a lighter, smoother knit, while a higher ply usually gives more warmth and thickness. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.

Why This Cashmere Cardigan Stands Out

  • Luxurious 30% cashmere / 70% lambswool blend
  • 8 Gauge / 4 Ply knit construction for warmth and structure
  • Soft open collar for a relaxed, polished neckline
  • Signature pin fastening instead of traditional buttons
  • Relaxed silhouette for easy everyday layering
  • Ribbed cuffs and hem for a neat, shaped finish
  • Lightweight yet cosy feel
  • Designed for seasonless wear
  • Available in S/M and M/L

Carlota is designed with a soft open collar that frames the neckline without feeling formal. Unlike a classic button cardigan, the front is finished with a signature pin fastening, giving the piece a cleaner and more contemporary look.

The relaxed shape allows the cardigan to drape naturally rather than sitting tightly against the body. This gives Carlota an easy, elegant feel and makes it especially useful for layering over different outfits.

Ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem add subtle structure, helping the cardigan keep its shape while maintaining softness. The overall silhouette feels refined but unforced — polished enough for smart styling, relaxed enough for everyday wear.

Knitted in an 8 Gauge / 4 Ply cashmere blend, Carlota has a soft, warm and lightly structured feel. The cashmere adds smoothness and luxury, while the lambswool brings durability, insulation and shape retention.

The result is a cashmere cardigan that feels cosy without becoming heavy. It is warm enough for cooler days, but still breathable and comfortable enough for indoor layering.

A collared cashmere cardigan offers a more polished look than a casual open cardigan, while still keeping the comfort of soft knitwear. The collar gives shape around the neckline and makes the cardigan feel more styled, even with very simple outfits.

Carlota is especially versatile because the pin fastening lets the front sit softly rather than pulling into a rigid button line. This gives the garment movement, elegance and a relaxed sense of luxury.

This cashmere cardigan is designed for those who prefer timeless knitwear with a modern detail. It is ideal if you want a piece that feels soft and luxurious, but not overly delicate or difficult to style.

Wear Carlota over a fine T-shirt for everyday ease, layer it with tailored trousers for a smarter look, or style it over a dress when you want warmth without losing elegance.

To keep your cashmere cardigan soft, smooth and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Remove the pin before washing or storing
  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Reshape the collar, cuffs and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to preserve the shoulder line

What makes the Carlota cashmere cardigan different from a button cardigan?

Carlota is fastened with a signature pin rather than a row of buttons. This gives the front a softer, cleaner look and allows the cardigan to fall more naturally.

Can the pin fastening be removed?

Yes. The pin can be removed, which makes the cardigan easy to wear open and also helps protect the knit during washing or storage.

Does the open collar sit neatly?

Yes. The collar is designed to sit softly around the neckline, giving structure without feeling stiff or formal.

Which colour is better for a timeless wardrobe?

Stone is a classic neutral that pairs easily with black, navy, denim and cream. Buttermilk feels softer and lighter, especially with warm neutrals and pale tones.

Is Carlota suitable for smart casual dressing?

Yes. The collar and pin fastening make Carlota feel more polished than a basic cardigan, while the relaxed fit keeps it comfortable and easy to wear.

Can this cardigan replace a light jacket?

In mild weather, yes. The 8 Gauge / 4 Ply knit gives warmth and structure, making Carlota useful as a soft outer layer indoors or on cooler days.

How should I style the pin fastening?

Fasten the pin at the centre for a neat look, place it slightly off-centre for a softer drape, or remove it completely and wear the cardigan open.

How do I protect the collar shape?

After washing, reshape the collar gently while damp and dry the cardigan flat. Avoid hanging it for long periods, as this can stretch the neckline and shoulders.

What do gauge and ply mean in cashmere knitwear?

Gauge refers to the density of the knit, while ply describes how many yarn strands are twisted together. Together, they affect the weight, warmth, texture and structure of a cashmere garment. A finer gauge creates a lighter, smoother knit, while a higher ply usually gives more warmth and thickness. You can learn more in our Cashmere Knit Gauge & Ply Guide.
