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 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 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.

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 Siggy Has Such an Easy Shape

  • Oversized jumper shape gives Siggy its relaxed, modern character
  • Short batwing sleeves create soft volume without heavy arm coverage
  • Scoop neckline keeps the upper line open and easy to layer
  • Deep side splits let the knit move naturally over trousers, skirts or dresses
  • Ribbed hem panels add weight and texture at the lower edge
  • Cashmere and lambswool blend brings softness, warmth and natural resilience

Siggy is cut with a generous box shape, so the garment falls away from the body rather than sitting close. The dropped shoulder line continues into short batwing sleeves, giving the top its soft architectural drape. The neckline is rounded and open, with a clean ribbed finish that frames the collarbone without feeling tight.

The side splits are an important part of the design. They open the lower edge so the ribbed hem can sit freely at the front and back, while the longer back length adds coverage and movement. This gives Siggy the feel of a knitted top, a poncho-inspired layer and an oversized jumper in one simple piece.

Siggy is made from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend in an 8 gauge / 4 ply knit. Cashmere gives the yarn its smooth, soft touch, while lambswool adds warmth, depth and shape retention. Together they create a cashmere blend jumper that feels comforting but not overly heavy.

The 8 gauge / 4 ply construction gives Siggy more presence than a fine knit, helping the boxy form hold its outline while still feeling soft enough for everyday wear. It is a practical choice for layering through cooler months, especially when you want warmth around the body with a lighter sleeve shape.

Choose Siggy when you want knitwear that feels easy but still has personality. The wide body, short sleeve shape and side splits make it more distinctive than a basic crew neck jumper, while the cashmere mix yarn keeps it soft, warm and wearable.

It is especially useful on days when a full long-sleeved jumper feels too heavy. Siggy gives warmth across the body and shoulders, but leaves room for styling underneath. That makes it a versatile piece for changing seasons, indoor layering and relaxed everyday outfits.

Siggy works well over a fitted long-sleeved top, cotton shirt, slim roll neck or simple dress. The short batwing sleeve leaves the under-layer visible, which makes the outfit feel intentional rather than bulky. The oversized shape also balances neatly with slimmer trousers, denim, leggings or straight skirts.

For a more polished look, wear it over a crisp shirt with the collar sitting just inside the scoop neckline. For casual days, pair it with a fine jersey base layer and relaxed trousers. The side splits help the ribbed hem sit cleanly, even over pieces with more structure underneath.

To keep your Siggy cashmere mix jumper soft, fresh and beautifully shaped, care for it gently:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a gentle wool or cashmere detergent
  • Do not bleach or tumble dry
  • Reshape carefully while damp
  • Dry flat away from direct heat
  • Fold for storage rather than hanging
  • Use a cashmere comb lightly if natural pilling appears

What kind of jumper is Siggy?
