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.

  • 30% Cashmere
  • 70% Lambswool

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.

Why This Fine Scarf Works So Well

  • Fine scarf with a light, easy drape
  • Long shape gives several styling options
  • Smooth surface keeps the look clean and refined
  • Soft knit feel makes it comfortable against the skin
  • Minimal design pairs easily with both casual and polished outfits
  • Lightweight enough to carry, warm enough to make a difference

The beauty of this fine scarf is in its restraint. The knit has a soft, close texture that feels gentle without appearing heavy, giving the piece a smooth and elegant finish. It is not a chunky winter scarf; it is a lighter layer that can be styled with ease when you want warmth, softness and polish in one simple accessory.

Because the texture is subtle, the scarf works across many outfits without competing with the rest of your look. It can soften tailoring, add comfort to outerwear or bring a gentle knitted note to a dress or simple jumper.

The rectangular shape gives this scarf its natural versatility. Fold it lengthways for a neat line, wrap it once for soft volume, or leave the ends hanging long for a relaxed finish. The fine handle allows it to gather without bulk, so it feels easy rather than overwhelming.

This makes it especially useful for travelling, commuting or everyday layering, because it can be folded into a bag and brought out whenever the temperature changes.

The scarf is finished with clean, narrow edges that keep the silhouette simple. This gives the accessory a refined look and allows the fabric to fall naturally, whether it is worn close at the neck or draped open.

The absence of heavy trimming gives the design a more modern, understated character. It feels luxurious, but in a quiet way that suits daily wear.

Wear it with a wool coat for a softened neckline, layer it over a cardigan, or knot it loosely with a plain jumper for effortless texture. Its lightness also makes it useful indoors when you want an extra layer without the weight of a shawl or heavy wrap.

For a clean look, fold it once and let the ends fall straight. For more warmth, wrap it close around the neck and allow the fine knit to form soft folds.

To keep your fine scarf soft and in good shape, handle it gently between wears and store it folded. Avoid hanging for long periods, as this can stretch delicate knitted accessories over time.

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean if required
  • Use a gentle wool or delicate detergent
  • Do not twist, rub or wring
  • Reshape carefully while damp
  • Dry flat away from direct heat or sunlight
  • Store folded in a drawer or breathable bag

What makes this a fine scarf?

It has a lighter, smoother feel than a chunky scarf, with a slim knitted handle and an elegant drape for easy layering.

Is it suitable for everyday wear?

Yes. The simple rectangular shape and understated texture make it easy to wear with coats, knitwear, tailoring and casual outfits.

Can it be used as a travel scarf?

Yes. It folds neatly, feels soft around the neck and is light enough to carry as an extra layer when travelling.

Does it feel bulky?

No. The fine knit is designed to sit comfortably and layer without unnecessary volume.

How should I store it?

Fold it flat rather than hanging it, and keep it away from direct heat, sunlight and rough surfaces.

Lula Knitted Vest – Layering Knit

The knitted vest Lula is a clean, modern layer with a soft buttermilk look and a beautifully useful shape. Designed with a round ribbed neckline, open slashed armholes and a gently stepped hem, it gives warmth through the body while keeping the outfit light, easy and free around the arms.

From the front, Lula has a simple sleeveless outline with a smooth knitted body and strong ribbed trims. From the side, the high-low shape becomes more visible: the front sits slightly shorter, while the back falls longer with neat side vents for movement. This gives the vest a flattering drape without making it feel oversized or heavy.

Knitted in a luxurious 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, this cashmere knitted vest feels soft, warm and naturally breathable. Wear it over a crisp shirt, fine roll neck, cotton tee or long-sleeve dress for understated luxury knitwear that works from quiet weekdays to relaxed weekends.

Why This Knitted Vest Belongs in a Layered Wardrobe

  • Round ribbed neckline gives the vest a clean, finished frame
  • Slashed armholes create space for shirts, tees and fine knits underneath
  • Shorter front and longer back create a flattering high-low proportion
  • 7cm side vents help the vest sit smoothly over layers
  • Ribbed trims add structure without making the shape stiff
  • Sleeveless design gives warmth without sleeve bulk
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend feels soft, breathable and naturally warm
  • A versatile alternative to a full jumper or cardigan

Lula is built around proportion. The front view shows a simple round-neck vest with a straight, calm body, but the profile view reveals the detail that makes it special: a longer back hem and side vents that give the knit movement.

The armholes are slashed and finished with a generous 3.5cm rib, creating a clean border around the shoulder and side body. This gives enough room to layer over a shirt or slim knit without pulling, while still keeping the outline neat.

The shorter front helps the vest sit easily at the hip, especially with high-waisted trousers or skirts. The longer back brings soft coverage, making Lula feel relaxed, balanced and practical without becoming bulky.

Lula is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, a blend chosen for softness, warmth and everyday resilience. The cashmere gives the vest a gentle, luxurious handle, while the lambswool adds bounce, body and natural insulation.

The knitted surface looks clean and tactile, with ribbing at the neck, armholes and hem to help the shape hold neatly. It feels warm enough to add comfort on cooler days, but the sleeveless construction keeps it breathable and easy to wear indoors.

This is the kind of luxury knitwear that works hard in a wardrobe: soft enough to feel special, simple enough to wear often, and structured enough to layer beautifully.

A knitted vest is useful because it adds warmth exactly where you need it, without covering the arms or hiding the layers underneath. Lula gives that practical idea a more refined finish with its ribbed trims, high-low hem and soft natural-fibre blend.

Compared with a jumper, it feels lighter and easier to style through changing weather. Compared with a cardigan, it gives a cleaner uninterrupted front. The result is a piece that can look minimal, relaxed or quietly smart depending on what you wear underneath.

It is especially good for transitional dressing, travel layering and outfits where you want softness without heaviness.

Lula is for women who like their knitwear simple, useful and beautifully made. It suits anyone who wants a layering piece that can be worn over shirts, long-sleeve tops, roll necks or dresses without feeling too warm or restrictive.

Style the Buttermilk colour with soft denim, ivory trousers, navy, camel or charcoal for a calm tonal look. Choose stronger shades such as Rust, Fir Green or Turmeric when you want the same clean shape with more colour.

This sleeveless knitwear piece is ideal for workdays, weekends, countryside layering, cool spring mornings and autumn outfits that need warmth but not bulk.

To keep your Lula knitted vest soft, fresh and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Wash with similar colours only
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the neckline, armhole trims, side vents and hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulder and armhole shape

What makes Lula a knitted vest?

Lula has a sleeveless body, round ribbed neckline and open slashed armholes, giving it the structure of a vest with the softness of luxury knitwear.

Is Lula made from cashmere?

Yes. Lula is made from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, giving softness, warmth and breathability with enough structure for layering.

How does the high-low hem fit?

The front bodice is shorter, while the back falls longer. This creates a relaxed high-low line that gives coverage at the back while keeping the front easy to style.

What are slashed armholes?

Slashed armholes are open, clean-cut arm openings finished with rib trim. On Lula, they make layering easier and give the vest its modern sleeveless shape.

Can I wear this vest over a shirt?

Yes. The roomy armholes and side vents make Lula ideal over shirts, blouses, fine roll necks and long-sleeve tops.

Does the Buttermilk colour look warm or bright?

The Buttermilk shade shown in the images has a soft creamy tone. It feels lighter than oatmeal but warmer than pure white, making it easy to pair with neutrals.

Are the side vents only decorative?

No. The 7cm side vents help the vest move with the body and sit smoothly over layers, especially when worn with trousers or shirts underneath.

Is this sleeveless knitwear suitable for winter?

Yes, especially as a layering piece. It adds warmth through the body while keeping the arms free, so it works well under coats or over fitted base layers.

Which size should I choose?

Lula is available in S/M and M/L. Choose S/M for a neater fit or M/L if you prefer more ease through the chest and layering room.

How should I style a knitted vest?

Wear it over a white shirt for a clean look, over a fine roll neck for warmth, with denim for weekends, or over a simple dress for a softer layered outfit.

Will the ribbed armholes keep their shape?

With gentle care, yes. Reshape the armhole trims while damp and dry the vest flat to help preserve the rib structure.

What makes Lula different from a basic sleeveless jumper?

Lula has a more considered shape, with a round ribbed neck, slashed armholes, side vents and a longer back hem. These details make it easier to layer and more flattering from the side.

A single iridescent shell-detail button cinches the waist, while 3/4 sleeves and a soft collar keep things light.

The post Dorian One Button Cardigan first appeared on Ochre Knitwear.

Dorian One Button Cardigan 

The one button cardigan Dorian is a beautifully simple layer with one striking point of focus: a single luminous shell-detail button that draws the front together while leaving the knit soft, open and fluid. Its sky-blue colour in the images gives the cardigan a calm, fresh presence, while the tailored collar adds just enough structure to make it feel polished.

Designed with a relaxed A-line drape, cropped three-quarter sleeves and a gently overlapping front, Dorian feels lighter than a traditional cardigan but more refined than an open throw-on layer. From the back, a fine pleated detail opens through the lower body, giving the garment quiet movement and a graceful swing as you walk.

Knitted from a luxurious blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, this cardigan balances softness, breathability and everyday warmth. Wear it over a vest, dress, blouse or fine knit when you want a layer that feels elegant without becoming formal.

Cardigan Features

  • 30% Cashmere
  • 70% Lambswool
  • 8 Gauge / 2 Ply knit construction
  • Small soft collar

Why This One Button Cardigan Stands Out

  • Single shell-detail button gives the cardigan a clear focal point
  • Soft collar adds polish without making the knit feel formal
  • Open front creates an elegant V-shaped line
  • Three-quarter sleeves keep the silhouette light and easy to move in
  • Fine pleated back detail adds swing, shape and quiet movement
  • Mid-hip length works well over trousers, dresses and skirts
  • 8 Gauge / 2 Ply knit gives breathable warmth with a smooth finish
  • A refined alternative to a classic button-through cardigan

Dorian is shaped around restraint. Instead of a row of buttons, the cardigan closes with one shell-detail button placed at the front, allowing the panels to fall softly below it. This creates a gentle overlap through the body and a flattering open line at the neckline.

The collar is small and softly structured, visible from both the front and back. It gives the cardigan a more tailored feeling than a plain edge, but the knitted fabric keeps the look relaxed and wearable.

The back view is especially important. A neat horizontal seam releases into a central pleat, giving the lower back a subtle swing. This pleated detail stops the cardigan from feeling flat and adds movement without adding bulk.

Dorian is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives the cardigan softness and a smooth hand feel, while the lambswool adds warmth, structure and natural resilience.

The 8 Gauge / 2 Ply construction feels light but not fragile. It has enough substance to hold the collar, button front and pleated back detail, while still feeling breathable and comfortable for layering.

The surface of the knit is clean and refined, with a gentle softness that makes Dorian easy to wear over bare arms, fine tops or dresses.

A one button cardigan gives a different feeling from a traditional button cardigan. It is simpler, softer and more open, creating shape without closing the whole front of the garment.

Dorian is especially useful when you want a cardigan that frames an outfit rather than covers it. The single button draws the eye in, while the collar, three-quarter sleeves and pleated back bring design interest from every angle.

It is a beautiful choice for women who like knitwear with a quiet architectural detail — not loud, not fussy, but carefully considered.

Dorian is for women who want a cardigan that feels refined, light and easy to style. It suits those who prefer soft natural fibres but still like a little structure around the neckline.

Wear it over a sleeveless top for transitional dressing, over a dress when you want a gentle layer, or with denim and simple trousers for relaxed everyday elegance. The three-quarter sleeves make it practical for working, travelling and moving through the day.

This cardigan is ideal if you want luxury knitwear that feels elegant without being delicate or overly formal.

To keep your Dorian one button 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 single button before washing
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the collar, front panels and pleated back detail while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulders and back pleat

What makes Dorian a one button cardigan?

Dorian fastens with one shell-detail button at the front instead of a full row of buttons. This gives the cardigan a softer open shape while still creating a neat focal point.

Does the cardigan stay open below the button?

Yes. The front panels fall naturally below the single button, creating an easy drape and a relaxed V-shaped opening.

What is special about the back of this cardigan?

The back has a fine pleated detail released from a horizontal seam. This gives the cardigan gentle movement and a more elegant swing from behind.

Is the collar stiff?

No. The collar gives structure, but it is knitted and soft rather than rigid. It frames the neckline without feeling formal.

Are the sleeves full length?

No. Dorian has three-quarter length sleeves, which makes it lighter and easier to wear across seasons.

What is the button made to look like?

The cardigan has a luminous shell-detail button. It adds a small polished highlight against the softness of the knit.

Can I wear this cardigan over dresses?

Yes. The mid-hip length, single button and soft swing shape work beautifully over dresses because the cardigan adds warmth without hiding the outfit completely.

Is Dorian suitable for smart casual dressing?

Yes. The collar and single button give it a refined look, while the cashmere and lambswool blend keeps it comfortable and relaxed.

Which colours are available?

Dorian is available in Black, Burgundy, Chalk Blue, Cloud Blue, Graphite, Monet Pink, Navy Marl, Orchid Ice, Rust, Sky, Smoke, Soft Pink and Teal.

Is the cardigan warm?

Yes. The 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend gives soft warmth, while the 8 Gauge / 2 Ply knit keeps it breathable rather than heavy.

How should I protect the pleated back detail?

After washing, smooth the back seam and pleat gently while damp, then dry the cardigan flat. Avoid hanging it for long periods, as this can stretch the shape.

What makes this different from a regular cardigan?

Dorian has a single button, small collar, three-quarter sleeves and a pleated back. These details make it feel more designed and graceful than a basic button cardigan.

Different Types of Ply:

12 Gauge / 2 Ply

Star Cropped Cashmere Blend Jumper – Double Layer Scoop Neck Knitwear

The cropped cashmere blend jumper Star is designed for women who like knitwear with softness, shape and a quietly unusual detail. Its scoop neckline has a fine rolled edge, giving the top of the garment a gentle, open curve rather than a traditional ribbed collar.

The most distinctive feature is the double layer bodice. A shorter upper panel floats over a second knitted layer underneath, both finished with rolled edges to create movement at the hem. This gives Star a light, modern look while still keeping the warmth and comfort of natural fibres.

Made from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool in an 8 Gauge / 1 Ply knit, this scoop neck jumper feels soft, breathable and easy on the body. Long sleeves balance the cropped layered shape, making it simple to wear with high-waisted trousers, skirts, denim or relaxed weekend pieces.

Why This Cropped Cashmere Blend Jumper Feels Different

  • Double layer bodice creates depth without adding heavy bulk
  • Rolled edges give the neckline, cuffs and hem a soft, modern finish
  • Scoop neck shape feels feminine, open and easy to layer
  • Long sleeves balance the shorter layered front
  • 8 Gauge / 1 Ply knit keeps the jumper light and fluid
  • Cashmere adds softness while lambswool gives warmth and natural resilience
  • Works well with high-waisted outfits because of the cropped layered shape
  • A distinctive alternative to a plain everyday jumper

Star is built around contrast between simplicity and detail. The body has a clean, relaxed surface, while the rolled edges bring a softer handmade feeling to the neckline, cuffs and hem.

The scoop neckline sits wider and lower than a classic crew neck, giving the jumper a lighter look around the collarbone. It is not a sharp neckline; it feels soft, curved and easy, which suits the relaxed character of the piece.

The double layer bodice is the detail that gives Star its personality. From the front, the shorter upper layer creates a cropped line, while the lower layer adds coverage and movement. From the side, the two levels of knit are visible, creating a gentle step at the hem without looking bulky.

Star is knitted from a blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The cashmere gives the jumper a soft hand feel, while the lambswool adds warmth, breathability and enough structure for the layered bodice to sit properly.

The 8 Gauge / 1 Ply construction gives this cashmere lambswool jumper a lighter feel than a chunky winter knit. It is warm enough for cooler days, but fine enough to layer under coats or wear comfortably indoors.

The smooth knit surface keeps the garment clean and simple, allowing the rolled edge jumper details to stand out naturally.

A cropped cashmere blend jumper is useful when you want knitwear that works with modern proportions. Star gives softness and warmth, but the shorter upper layer helps the outfit feel lighter than a long, heavy jumper.

The double layer jumper design makes it especially easy with high-rise pieces. It adds interest at the waist without needing a tuck, belt or extra styling.

It is a good choice if you enjoy women’s luxury knitwear that feels relaxed, a little playful and different from a standard round-neck sweater.

Star is for someone who likes soft knitwear with a subtle design twist. It suits wardrobes that mix comfort with creative detail, especially if you prefer pieces that can be styled casually but still look considered.

Wear it with wide-leg trousers when you want a clean modern shape, with denim for an easy everyday outfit, or with a skirt when the cropped layered hem can sit softly at the waist.

This relaxed knit jumper is also useful for travel and weekends because it gives warmth without heaviness and has enough detail to make a simple outfit feel finished.

To keep your Star cropped cashmere blend 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
  • Do not wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the scoop neckline, sleeves and double layer hem while damp
  • Lay flat to dry naturally
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulder shape and rolled edges

What makes Star a cropped cashmere blend jumper?

Star has a shorter upper bodice layer over a second knitted layer beneath, giving it a cropped look with extra movement. The cashmere and lambswool blend keeps it soft, warm and breathable.

How does the double layer bodice work?

The front of the jumper has two knitted layers with rolled edges. The top layer sits shorter, while the lower layer gives gentle coverage and creates a soft stepped hem.

Is the scoop neckline easy to wear?

Yes. The scoop neck is open and softly rounded, but still practical for everyday styling. It can be worn on its own or layered over a fine vest or camisole.

Does Star feel heavy?

No. The 8 Gauge / 1 Ply knit gives it a lightweight feel. It has natural warmth from the cashmere and lambswool blend, but it does not feel bulky.

What makes the rolled edge detail special?

The rolled edges give the neckline, cuffs and layered hem a softer finish than traditional ribbing. They add texture and movement without making the jumper look fussy.

Can I wear this jumper with high-waisted trousers?

Yes. The cropped upper layer works especially well with high-waisted trousers, denim and skirts because it gives shape without needing to be tucked in.

Is Star a relaxed fit jumper?

Yes. Star has a comfortable one-size fit with a relaxed body and long sleeves. The layered hem gives it shape while keeping the overall feeling easy.

Can this jumper be layered under a coat?

Yes. The lightweight knit and smooth sleeves make it easy to wear under coats or jackets without feeling too thick.

Is this a good jumper for transitional weather?

Yes. The fine knit construction makes it useful between seasons, while the natural fibre blend still provides gentle warmth when the temperature cools.

How should I dry the double layer hem?

After washing, smooth both layers into place while damp and dry the jumper flat. This helps the rolled edges and layered shape sit neatly.

Will the neckline stretch if I hang it?

Hanging can pull on the neckline and shoulders over time. It is best to store Star folded to help preserve the scoop neck and relaxed shape.

What makes Star different from a basic long sleeve jumper?

The scoop neckline, rolled stitch edges and double layer bodice give Star more movement and personality than a plain jumper, while still keeping the softness of everyday luxury knitwear.

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.

Why These Bed Socks Feel So Comforting

  • Bed socks with a soft cashmere and lambswool handle
  • Chain pattern detail adds gentle texture and a crafted look
  • Ribbed cuff helps the sock stay comfortably in place
  • Warm enough for chilly evenings without feeling bulky
  • Easy unisex fit for relaxed daily wear at home

The raised chain pattern gives these bed socks their quiet charm. Rather than using a heavy cable, the motif sits neatly within the knit, adding a subtle line of texture across the foot and leg. It makes the socks feel considered and decorative while still keeping the surface soft, flexible and easy to wear.

The blend of cashmere and lambswool brings together softness, warmth and resilience. Cashmere gives a smooth, comforting touch, while lambswool adds natural insulation and structure. The result is a pair of wool bed socks that feel cosy against the skin and practical enough to reach for again and again.

Wear these knitted bed socks for quiet evenings, weekend mornings, reading in bed or relaxing after a long day. They work especially well when you want warm socks that feel softer and more refined than everyday pairs, with enough length and coverage to keep feet comfortably wrapped.

These luxury bed socks make a thoughtful gift because they are useful, personal and easy to enjoy. The classic unisex shape, soft natural-fibre blend and decorative chain pattern give them a special feel without needing complicated styling or sizing.

To keep your bed socks soft and neatly shaped, wash gently by hand in cool water using a wool-friendly detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting the knit. Press out excess water in a towel, reshape while damp and dry flat away from direct heat. Store folded to help preserve the cuff, toe and chain texture.

They are knitted from a soft blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, combining a gentle handle with natural warmth.
