Shyla Jumper

Shyla Jumper is the soft, easy layer you’ll reach for every day. Knitted in a luxurious cashmere mix, it feels light yet warm with a smooth, gentle handle. The silhouette is relaxed with a soft swing through the body so it drapes rather than clings, giving a flattering, effortless shape you can wear from weekday to weekend.

The neckline is a classic round neck, finished with a subtle rolled edge that sits neatly against the collarbone. Raglan sleeves create a clean shoulder line and allow natural movement, while the cuffs echo the same rolled-edge detail for a considered, modern finish. The hem is also rolled, adding a refined touch and a delicate curve that skims the hip.

Shyla is designed for comfort and versatility. The hip-skimming length layers easily over denim, tailored trousers or a slip skirt; it works under a coat on cold days and over a tee when the temperature lifts. The cashmere mix offers excellent warmth-to-weight and breathability, making it a reliable choice across the seasons.

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.

Gani Shell Button Cardigan – Cardigan with Patch Pockets

The shell button cardigan Gani brings a charming, hand-finished detail to soft everyday luxury knitwear. Seen here in a clear Sky blue, it has a relaxed square shape, rolled slash neckline, long sleeves and a striking row of 15 small shell buttons running down the centre front.

The design feels quietly playful without losing polish. Two neat patch pockets sit low on the front, giving the cardigan a useful, easy character, while the rolled cuffs and hem keep the edges soft rather than formal. From the side, the relaxed shoulder line and smooth knit surface create a comfortable drape that sits naturally over the body.

Knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, this cashmere blend cardigan combines warmth, softness and a lightly structured feel. Gani works beautifully as a button cardigan women can wear over simple tees, fine shirts, dresses or denim when they want colour, comfort and a distinctive shell-button finish.

Why This Shell Button Cardigan Has Character

  • 15 small shell buttons create a beautiful centre-front feature
  • Square bodice gives the cardigan a relaxed, modern outline
  • Slash neckline with rolled edges feels soft and quietly distinctive
  • Patch pockets add charm and everyday usefulness
  • Rolled cuffs and hem keep the finish relaxed rather than stiff
  • 8 Gauge / 3 Ply knit gives gentle substance without heavy bulk
  • Sky blue shade adds freshness to simple outfits
  • A colourful alternative to a plain cashmere blend cardigan

Gani is shaped with a wide slash neckline that sits softly across the upper body. The rolled edge gives the neckline a natural, handmade look, making the cardigan feel less formal than a classic crew neck and more individual than a plain open cardigan.

The centre front is the main feature. A vertical line of 15 shell buttons catches the eye and adds a delicate contrast against the smooth blue knit. The buttons bring a subtle shine without making the cardigan look decorative in a heavy way.

The two patch pockets are placed low on the front, giving the square bodice balance and function. Together with the rolled hem and cuffs, they make Gani feel easy, charming and full of quiet detail.

Gani is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives the cardigan its soft, smooth handle, while the lambswool adds warmth, resilience and enough body for the square shape to sit well.

The 8 Gauge / 3 Ply construction gives the knit a comfortable medium feel. It is warmer and more substantial than a fine summer cardigan, but still soft and flexible enough for layering indoors or under outerwear.

The surface of the knit looks smooth and clean in the uploaded images, allowing the shell buttons, rolled trims and pocket details to stand out clearly.

A shell button cardigan gives knitwear a softer, more crafted feeling than an ordinary button cardigan. The natural look of the buttons adds light, texture and personality without needing bold pattern or contrast trim.

Gani is especially useful because the shape is simple but the details are memorable. The slash neck gives openness, the pockets add ease, and the row of buttons creates a vertical line that lengthens the front visually.

It is a strong choice if you want luxury knitwear that feels relaxed, colourful and practical, but still has a design point that makes it recognisable.

Gani is for women who like cardigans with personality, but still want them to be easy to wear. It suits relaxed wardrobes, colourful knitwear collections and anyone who appreciates small details such as shell buttons, pockets and rolled edges.

Wear it over a white tee with jeans for a clear everyday look, layer it over a fine blouse for softer polish, or style it with wide-leg trousers when you want the square shape to feel more contemporary.

This cardigan is also lovely for travel and transitional weather because it gives warmth without feeling overly heavy, and the pockets make it feel practical as well as pretty.

To keep your Gani shell button cardigan soft, fresh and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Fasten or protect the shell buttons before washing
  • Turn inside out to help protect the button detail and rolled edges
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the slash neckline, cuffs, pockets and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to help preserve the square body and shoulder line

What makes Gani a shell button cardigan?

Gani has a centre-front line of 15 small shell buttons. This detail gives the cardigan its distinctive character and adds a natural, softly polished finish to the knit.

Is the Gani cardigan made from cashmere?

Gani is made from a cashmere and lambswool blend: 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. This gives softness, warmth and better structure for regular wear.

What neckline does this cardigan have?

It has a slash neck with rolled edges. The neckline sits wider than a classic crew neck and gives the cardigan a relaxed, contemporary look.

Are the buttons the main design detail?

Yes. The shell buttons create a clear vertical feature down the centre front, while the patch pockets and rolled edges add extra texture and charm.

Does Gani have pockets?

Yes. Gani has two front patch pockets placed low on the body. They make the cardigan feel practical and give the square shape a more casual, easy finish.

Is this cardigan fitted or relaxed?

Gani has a relaxed one-size shape with a square bodice. It is designed to sit easily on the body rather than cling closely.

What colours is Gani available in?

Gani is available in Cloud Blue, Coral, Sky and Soft Pink. The uploaded images show the Sky colour, a clear blue shade that highlights the shell buttons beautifully.

Can I wear this cardigan over a dress?

Yes. The shorter length, soft rolled hem and decorative button line make Gani easy to layer over dresses without hiding the whole outfit.

Is this suitable for smart casual dressing?

Yes. The shell buttons and slash neckline make it feel more special than a basic cardigan, while the relaxed body keeps it comfortable and wearable.

How should I care for the shell buttons?

Handle them gently, avoid rubbing directly over the button line when washing, and lay the cardigan flat to dry. This helps protect both the buttons and the centre-front finish.

Will the rolled edges stay soft?

Yes, with careful washing and flat drying. Reshape the neckline, cuffs and hem while damp so the rolled edges settle neatly.

What makes Gani different from a plain cardigan?

Gani combines a slash neckline, rolled trims, two patch pockets and 15 shell buttons. These details give it a more crafted and memorable look than a simple everyday cardigan.

Crafted with rolled hems on the neckline and sleeves, six front buttons, and dropped shoulders for added versatility.

Zeya Striped Cardigan 

The striped cardigan Zeya brings confident pattern into soft luxury knitwear without losing everyday ease. Designed with horizontal contrast bands, a neat button-front opening and a relaxed dropped-shoulder shape, it feels expressive but still refined enough to wear often.

The front is finished with six small buttons, allowing this cardigan to be worn closed as a statement knit or open over a simple layer. Rolled edges at the neckline, cuffs and hem give the piece a softer, less formal finish, while the long sleeves and compact length make it easy to balance with denim, tailored trousers or skirts.

Knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, this cashmere blend cardigan has a warm, breathable handle with a smooth natural softness. Zeya is a women’s striped cardigan for anyone who enjoys graphic knitwear with a playful mood, but still wants the comfort and quality of luxury knitwear.

Striped Cardigan Features

  • 30% Cashmere
  • 70% Lambswool
  • 8 Gauge / 3 Ply knit construction
  • Horizontal stripe design across body and sleeves
  • Six small front buttons

Why This Striped Cardigan Stands Out

  • Distinctive horizontal stripes create instant character without needing extra styling
  • Six-button front gives flexible wear as a closed knit or open layer
  • Dropped shoulders add an easy, relaxed line through the upper body
  • Rolled trims soften the neckline, cuffs and hem
  • Compact cardigan length works well with high-waisted trousers and skirts
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend gives softness, warmth and natural breathability
  • 8 Gauge / 3 Ply knit offers more presence than a very fine cardigan
  • A strong alternative to plain button knitwear

Zeya has a relaxed, slightly boxy cardigan shape with dropped shoulders that allow the stripes to fall in a softer, more casual way. The silhouette is easy rather than fitted, giving the cardigan a comfortable drape while still keeping a neat outline.

The six-button front gives the design its structure. Fastened, it becomes a bold striped knit with a clean centre line. Worn open, it becomes a lighter layer over a simple vest, T-shirt, shirt or dress.

The stripe placement continues across the sleeves, which makes the whole garment feel lively and intentional. Rolled edging at the neckline, cuffs and lower hem keeps the finish relaxed, adding a soft handmade character rather than a stiff tailored edge.

This cardigan is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives the surface a soft, luxurious feel, while the lambswool brings warmth, bounce and durability for regular wear.

The 8 Gauge / 3 Ply construction gives Zeya a satisfying midweight handle. It feels warmer and more substantial than a very fine cardigan, but it is still comfortable enough for layering and indoor wear.

The result is luxury knitwear with personality: soft enough to feel special, strong enough to hold the stripe design clearly, and practical enough to become part of everyday dressing.

A striped button cardigan gives more energy than a plain knit while staying easy to style. The pattern creates the interest, so the rest of the outfit can stay simple.

Zeya is especially useful because the design has both softness and structure. The buttons create a clean front line, the dropped shoulders keep the feel relaxed, and the rolled edges stop the stripes from looking too formal.

Choose this striped cardigan when you want knitwear that feels playful, confident and wearable, with enough detail to lift everyday jeans, trousers or skirts.

Zeya is for anyone who likes knitwear with movement, pattern and a little attitude. It suits wardrobes built around simple pieces because the stripes bring focus without needing complicated styling.

Wear it with denim for a relaxed weekend look, with tailored trousers for a sharper contrast, or over a plain dress when you want the outfit to feel softer but still modern.

This is a cardigan for days when a neutral layer feels too quiet. It is comfortable, graphic and easy to wear, with the natural softness expected from Ochre Knitwear.

To keep your Zeya striped cardigan soft, fresh 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
  • Turn the cardigan inside out to help protect the stripe surface
  • Wash with similar colours only
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the neckline, button placket, cuffs and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to help preserve the dropped shoulders

What makes Zeya a striped cardigan?

Zeya is designed with horizontal contrast stripes across the body and sleeves. The pattern gives the cardigan a graphic, confident look while the cashmere and lambswool blend keeps it soft and wearable.

How many buttons does this cardigan have?

Zeya has six small front buttons. They allow the cardigan to be worn fully fastened, partly open or layered loosely over another piece.

Is Zeya a relaxed fit cardigan?

Yes. The dropped shoulders and easy body shape give Zeya a relaxed fit. It is not a tight cardigan, but the compact length keeps the shape balanced.

What does the rolled edge finish look like?

The neckline, cuffs and hem have a soft rolled finish. This gives the cardigan a more casual, tactile look than a traditional ribbed trim.

Can I wear this cardigan as a top?

Yes. When buttoned, Zeya works well as a striped button cardigan worn as the main knit. You can also leave a few buttons open for a softer neckline.

Is the stripe design easy to style?

Yes. Because the stripe is already the main detail, Zeya works best with simple pieces such as plain denim, tailored trousers, skirts or a clean base layer.

Is this cardigan warm?

Yes. The 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend gives natural warmth, while the 8 Gauge / 3 Ply knit adds a comfortable midweight feel.

Does the dropped shoulder affect the stripe placement?

The dropped shoulder creates a softer, more relaxed line, so the stripes move naturally across the sleeve and body rather than looking rigid.

Can this striped cardigan be layered under a coat?

Yes. Zeya can be layered under coats and jackets. The rolled edges and button front keep it comfortable, while the long sleeves add warmth.

How should I protect the buttons?

Fasten the buttons before washing, avoid rubbing directly over them and dry the cardigan flat. This helps protect both the button placket and the knit.

Is Zeya suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The design feels special because of the stripes, but the shape is easy and practical enough for regular wear with simple outfits.

What makes Zeya different from a plain cardigan?

Zeya has a stronger visual identity. The stripes, rolled trims, dropped shoulders and button front make it more expressive than a plain cashmere blend cardigan.

The side seam slits and ribbed hem with plain knit accents add contemporary charm.

Devon Raglan Sleeve Jumper 

The raglan sleeve jumper Devon is a softly structured piece for women who like their knitwear relaxed, clean and quietly detailed. The shape is easy through the body, with a round ribbed neckline, long raglan sleeves and a calm natural drape that makes it simple to wear day after day.

In the uploaded images, Devon is shown in a muted clay green shade with a smooth knitted surface, deep ribbed cuffs and a textured lower hem panel. The raglan seams travel gently from the neckline to the underarm, giving the shoulders a softer line than a standard set-in sleeve.

Knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, this cashmere blend jumper has a cosy 7 Gauge / 3 Ply feel without becoming bulky. Side seam slits and the rib-and-plain-knit hem detail give the jumper movement, making it a practical choice for denim, tailored trousers, skirts and easy everyday layering.

Raglan Sleeve Jumper Features

  • 30% Cashmere
  • 70% Lambswool
  • 7 Gauge / 3 Ply knit construction

Why This Raglan Sleeve Jumper Works So Well

  • Raglan sleeves create a soft shoulder line and relaxed upper-body fit
  • Round ribbed neckline keeps the jumper neat and easy to layer
  • Deep ribbed cuffs add texture and help the sleeves sit cleanly
  • Side slits give the hem freedom to move over trousers or skirts
  • Rib and plain knit hem panel adds quiet design interest
  • 7 Gauge / 3 Ply construction gives a warm, substantial handle
  • Smooth body knit keeps the overall look simple and refined
  • A versatile option for women who prefer relaxed fit knitwear with detail

Devon is designed with a close round neck framed by a 3cm rib, giving the jumper a clean, balanced neckline. The rib sits firmly enough to hold its shape but still feels soft and comfortable around the neck.

The raglan sleeve construction is one of the most important design details. Instead of a sharp shoulder seam, the sleeve line begins near the neckline and curves towards the underarm. This gives Devon a more relaxed shoulder shape and makes the jumper feel easy through the top of the body.

At the lower edge, the side slits and mixed hem texture make the silhouette more interesting. The front sits neatly, while the side openings allow the jumper to move naturally rather than pulling across the hips.

Devon is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives the jumper a soft, smooth touch, while the lambswool adds warmth, bounce and structure for regular wear.

The 7 Gauge / 3 Ply knit gives this cashmere blend jumper a more substantial feel than a fine lightweight knit. It is warm and comforting, yet still breathable enough for indoor wear and transitional dressing.

The visible texture is calm rather than decorative. The main body has a smooth surface, while the cuffs and hem introduce stronger rib detail for contrast and shape.

A cashmere raglan jumper is ideal when you want knitwear that feels relaxed but still considered. Raglan sleeves create an easier shoulder fit, which can make the jumper feel less formal than a traditional crew neck while still looking polished.

Devon also has a useful balance of softness and structure. The round neck keeps it classic, the side slits add modern movement, and the hem detail gives the lower edge a crafted finish.

If you already own plain jumpers, Devon offers something slightly more detailed without becoming patterned, oversized or difficult to style.

Devon is for women who like simple knitwear with quiet construction details. It suits wardrobes built around natural fibres, soft colour, comfortable shapes and pieces that can be styled in more than one way.

Wear it with denim for an easy weekend look, with tailored trousers for a softer workday outfit, or with a long skirt when you want the side slits and hemline to create movement.

This is a jumper for cooler days, travel, relaxed workwear and everyday layering. It feels familiar, but the raglan seams, ribbed cuffs and side slits make it more thoughtful than a basic round neck knit.

To keep your Devon raglan sleeve jumper soft, fresh and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Turn the jumper inside out before washing to protect the smooth knit surface
  • Do not wring or twist the garment
  • Reshape the round neck, raglan sleeves, ribbed cuffs and side slits while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to help preserve the shoulder line and hem shape

What makes Devon a raglan sleeve jumper?

Devon has sleeve seams that run from the neckline towards the underarm rather than sitting directly on the shoulder. This gives the jumper a softer shoulder shape and a relaxed fit through the upper body.

Is Devon a round neck jumper?

Yes. Devon has a round neckline finished with a 3cm rib trim, giving it a neat and classic look that works well on its own or layered under coats.

What is the jumper made from?

Devon is made from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The blend gives softness, warmth, breathability and enough structure for regular wear.

Is this a relaxed fit jumper?

Yes. Devon has a relaxed shape through the body, with raglan sleeves and side slits that help the jumper sit comfortably without feeling tight.

Why does Devon have side slits?

The 7cm side slits give the hem more movement. They help the jumper fall naturally over trousers, denim or skirts and reduce pulling around the hip area.

Are the cuffs ribbed?

Yes. Devon has long sleeves finished with deep 10cm ribbed cuffs. The rib adds texture and helps the sleeves sit neatly at the wrist.

What does 7 Gauge / 3 Ply mean?

It describes the knit construction. A 7 Gauge / 3 Ply knit has a warm, more substantial feel than very fine knitwear, while still remaining soft and wearable.

Can I wear this cashmere blend jumper every day?

Yes. Devon is designed for practical luxury. The cashmere adds softness, while the lambswool helps the jumper keep its shape with careful wear and gentle washing.

How should I style Devon?

Style Devon with jeans for casual wear, tailored trousers for a cleaner look, or a skirt when you want the side slits and hem detail to show more movement.

Does the hem have a special detail?

Yes. The hem combines ribbing with plain knit detail, giving the lower edge more texture than a standard ribbed hem.

Will the raglan seams suit layering?

Yes. Raglan sleeves sit softly around the shoulder, making Devon comfortable under coats and jackets without a sharp shoulder seam.

How should I store this jumper?

Store Devon folded rather than hanging. This helps protect the round neckline, raglan shoulders and side-slit hem from stretching.
