Neel Long Yak Wool Cardigan

Neel is a long yak wool cardigan knitted from 100% yak wool, with a relaxed open front and a softly structured longline shape. The broad front edges fall naturally from the neckline, creating a clean vertical line that is easy to layer through colder months.

Dropped shoulders give the upper body an easy drape, while straight sleeves keep the silhouette balanced. Two low patch pockets add practical detail without disrupting the calm front, and 10cm side splits release the hem for comfortable movement.

Designed in two sizes, Neel combines the coverage of a longline yak cardigan with the softness of natural-fibre knitwear. It is a considered everyday layer for customers who want breathable warmth, useful pockets and a refined alternative to heavier outerwear.

Why Neel Works as a Long Yak Wool Cardigan

  • The long open front creates a clean, uninterrupted vertical line
  • 100% yak wool gives Neel soft natural warmth and breathable comfort
  • 7 gauge / 3 ply construction supports the long shape without stiffness
  • Dropped shoulders soften the upper body and make layering easier
  • Two patch pockets add everyday practicality
  • 10cm side splits allow the long hem to move more freely
  • The understated design works as both knitwear and a soft coatigan layer

Neel is built around length and ease rather than close tailoring. The neckline flows into broad front edges, creating an open front yak cardigan that sits naturally over lighter knitwear, shirts and dresses.

The shoulder seam falls lower on the arm, giving a relaxed dropped-shoulder line and softening the upper body. Straight sleeves keep the shape calm, while the low patch pockets sit comfortably within the long proportions.

At the hem, the 10cm side splits reduce restriction and help the cardigan move cleanly when walking or sitting.

Neel is knitted from 100% yak wool, a rare natural animal fibre valued for soft warmth, breathability and a grounded tactile handle. Yak wool is distinct from cashmere, although carefully prepared fibre can have a gentle, cashmere-like softness.

The 7 gauge / 3 ply construction gives this natural fibre winter cardigan enough body to support its long shape and patch pockets while preserving a fluid drape.

As with other natural wool fibres, some surface movement may appear with wear. Resting the cardigan between wears and removing occasional pilling carefully will help maintain its finish.

Neel has a relaxed fit in both sizes. The S/M measures 63cm across the chest, while the M/L measures 67cm, giving extra room for layering without changing the overall character of the design.

With lengths of 102cm and 103cm, Neel has the proportions of a relaxed knee length cardigan on many wearers, although the exact hem position will depend on height and body shape.

The 40cm and 41cm sleeve measurements work with the dropped shoulder construction, so the shoulder itself contributes to the full arm length. The side splits help the long body remain comfortable in motion.

Wear Neel as a yak wool coatigan for women who prefer the softness of knitwear to sharply tailored outerwear. It layers naturally over a fine roll neck, a simple shirt or a lightweight jumper.

Pair the longline shape with straight trousers, denim or relaxed tailoring for everyday wear. Over a dress, leave the front open so the cardigan creates a clean vertical line and the hem can move freely.

The understated surface suits simple natural fabrics and quiet accessories, allowing the length, texture and drape to remain the focus.

To protect Neel’s long shape, pockets and soft yak wool surface, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a mild wool detergent
  • Do not rub, twist or wring the knit
  • Press excess water out carefully with a towel
  • Reshape the front edges, shoulders, pockets, sleeves and side splits while damp
  • Dry flat away from direct heat or strong sunlight
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the long body
  • Rest between wears and remove light pilling carefully with a wool comb if needed

Is Neel made from 100% yak wool?

Yes. Neel is knitted entirely from 100% yak wool.

Is Neel a cardigan or a coatigan?

Neel is a knitted cardigan with the length and coverage associated with a coatigan. It remains soft and unstructured rather than tailored like a coat.

Does Neel fasten at the front?

Neel has an open front designed to fall naturally into broad, clean edges.

How long is the Neel cardigan?

Neel measures 102cm in S/M and 103cm in M/L. The exact hem position will depend on the wearer’s height and proportions.

Does Neel have pockets?

Yes. It has two low patch pockets positioned on the front panels.

What is the purpose of the 10cm side splits?

The side splits release the long hem, making Neel more comfortable for walking, sitting and layering.

Why are the sleeve measurements 40cm and 41cm?

The sleeves begin from a dropped shoulder, so the shoulder itself contributes to the full arm length.

What does 7 Gauge / 3 Ply mean?

It describes the knit construction. The combination gives Neel a medium-weight fabric with enough body for its long shape while retaining a soft drape.

How should I store Neel?

Store the cardigan folded in a clean, dry place. Hanging a long knitted garment for extended periods may stretch the shoulders and body.

Saddle-style shoulders, tapered sleeves and neat side splits create an easy, balanced silhouette.

Made in a substantial 4 Gauge / 5 Ply cashmere and lambswool blend, it is warm, tactile and distinctive without feeling overly traditional.

The post Fugu Textured Funnel Neck Jumper first appeared on Ochre Knitwear.

Fugu Textured Funnel Neck Jumper

The Fugu textured funnel neck jumper is defined by an unusual raised stitch pattern that moves across the body and sleeves in soft, looping trails. It is more sculptural than a plain knit, yet less traditional than a classic Aran cable, giving the surface depth without making the design feel heavy.

A high ribbed funnel neck stands gently around the neckline, while saddle-style shoulder shaping creates a clean line from collar to sleeve. The body is relaxed and straight rather than oversized. Full sleeves narrow gradually towards smooth knitted cuffs, and a broad plain-knit hem is opened by neat 5cm side splits.

Fugu is knitted in 4 Gauge / 5 Ply from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. The substantial knit gives the raised stitchwork clear definition, while the natural-fibre blend brings softness, warmth and structure. It is an expressive winter layer that remains easy to wear with simple trousers, denim or a long skirt.

Fugu Jumper Features

  • 30% cashmere
  • 70% lambswool
  • 4 Gauge / 5 Ply construction
  • High ribbed funnel neck
  • All-over raised loop and lattice-style stitchwork
  • Saddle-style shoulder shaping

The Raised Stitch Detail

Fugu does not use a conventional rope cable or dense Aran panel. Instead, small raised loops travel over a smoother knitted ground, joining into loose vertical and diamond-like formations. The result is tactile and dimensional, with the pattern changing subtly as light moves across the surface.

The stitchwork continues over the front, upper body and sleeves, so the garment retains its character from the side as well as the front. Plain knitted borders at the collar, cuffs and hem prevent the texture from becoming visually busy.

The neckline is a true funnel shape: high, ribbed and designed to stand rather than fold over. It gives gentle coverage around the neck without the double thickness of a traditional roll neck.

From the collar, the upper body is shaped with a saddle-style shoulder line. This construction creates a defined path across the shoulder before the sleeve falls away, giving Fugu more structure than a simple dropped-sleeve jumper while still allowing an easy fit.

The body falls in a relaxed straight line, with enough room through the chest to sit comfortably without becoming dramatically oversized. The sleeves are full through the upper arm and taper towards smooth knitted cuffs.

A broad plain-knit hem anchors the patterned body. At each side, a 5cm split opens the lower edge, giving the jumper a little release over the hip and helping the front and back hang cleanly.

Fugu is made from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. Cashmere softens the surface, while lambswool contributes warmth, bounce and the stability needed to hold the raised pattern.

The 4 Gauge / 5 Ply knit is substantial and clearly textured. It is warmer and more structured than a fine-gauge layer, making it well suited to colder days, yet the side splits and balanced proportions keep the silhouette comfortable.

Keep the rest of the outfit simple and let the raised stitchwork do the work. Fugu pairs naturally with straight or wide-leg trousers, denim, cord or a long skirt. Its 58–59cm length works particularly well with mid- and high-rise shapes.

The funnel neck removes the need for a bulky scarf indoors, while the relaxed body layers comfortably over a fine base. For outerwear, choose a coat with enough room through the upper sleeve so the shoulder construction remains smooth.

Fugu should be handled gently so its funnel neck and raised stitchwork retain their shape.

  • Hand wash in cold water or dry clean
  • Use a small amount of mild wool or cashmere detergent
  • Do not scrub the textured surface
  • Do not twist or wring the garment
  • Lift it from the water with the full weight supported
  • Press out moisture carefully between clean towels
  • Reshape the collar, shoulders, cuffs, hem and side splits while damp
  • Dry flat away from radiators, sunlight and direct heat
  • Store folded rather than hanging

Is Fugu a cable-knit jumper?

Fugu has a raised, cable-like surface, but the pattern is not a conventional rope cable. Small looped stitches form loose vertical and diamond-like trails across the body and sleeves.

Does the funnel neck fold over?

No. The ribbed collar is designed to stand upright as a funnel neck rather than fold into a double-layer roll neck.

How relaxed is the fit?

The shape is comfortably relaxed and straight, but not extremely oversized. The chest measures 60cm in S/M and 64cm in M/L.

What type of shoulder does Fugu have?

It has saddle-style shaping that runs from the neckline across the shoulder before meeting the sleeve, giving the upper body a clean, structured line.

Why are there side splits?

The 5cm side splits release the broad hem so it sits more naturally over the hip and moves easily with the wearer.

Is Fugu suitable for cold weather?

Yes. Its 4 Gauge / 5 Ply construction creates a substantial knit, while the high neckline and natural-fibre blend provide comfortable warmth.

What is the fibre composition?

Fugu is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, balancing softness with warmth, resilience and stitch definition.

How should I store the jumper?

Fold it and store it flat. Hanging can pull on the shoulder shaping and gradually stretch the body and neckline.

Rue Chunky Yak Crew Neck Jumper

Rue is a chunky yak crew neck jumper made with yak wool, knitted in a 4 gauge / 6 ply construction for a tactile winter feel. The shape is relaxed but not shapeless, with dropped shoulders, generous sleeves and a shorter one-size body that sits cleanly at the hip.

With a 58cm length, 62cm chest and 53cm sleeve, Rue is easy to layer over a fine base layer on cold days. It is a soft, substantial knit for customers who want breathable warmth, natural fibre character and a calm everyday silhouette.

Why Rue Works as a Chunky Yak Crew Neck Jumper

  • The chunky crew neckline gives Rue a clean, easy layering shape
  • 4 gauge / 6 ply construction creates a tactile, winter-ready knit
  • Made with yak wool for soft natural-fibre warmth
  • The ribbed crew neckline makes it easy to wear with coats and scarves
  • Dropped shoulders create relaxed ease across the upper body
  • The shorter 58cm body keeps the proportion neat rather than tunic-like
  • Deep ribbed cuffs and hem add definition to the chunky texture

Rue is shaped around ease rather than close fit. The crew neckline is finished with a ribbed knitted trim, giving a tidy edge at the neck while keeping the look simple.

The dropped shoulder line gives width and comfort through the upper body. The sleeves are generous and finish in deep ribbed cuffs, so the volume feels soft but controlled at the wrist.

The body is shorter and softly boxy, with a deep ribbed hem that holds the base of the jumper neatly. This makes Rue especially useful with higher-waisted trousers and layered winter dressing.

Rue is made with yak wool, a rare natural animal fibre valued for breathable warmth and a grounded, tactile feel. Yak wool is different from cashmere and should not be described as cashmere, although carefully prepared yak fibres can have a soft, cashmere-like handle.

The 4 gauge / 6 ply construction gives Rue more substance than a fine knit. It feels warm and textured without needing decorative pattern, so the fibre and shape remain the focus.

As with all natural wool fibres, light surface movement can appear with wear. Resting the jumper between wears and removing small pills carefully when needed will help keep the knit looking considered.

Rue is a one-size jumper with a relaxed fit. The 58cm length gives a shorter, practical shape, while the 62cm chest leaves space for a fine base layer underneath.

The 53cm sleeve gives comfortable coverage, and the dropped shoulder means the sleeve starts lower on the arm than a set-in shoulder. This is part of the relaxed shape and should not be read as a narrow tailored fit.

Choose Rue when you want a chunky knit with softness and ease, but not a long tunic length or an oversized roll neck shape.

Rue works well with wide-leg trousers, simple denim, winter skirts and relaxed tailoring. The shorter body gives balance over fuller trouser shapes, while the plain front keeps the outfit calm.

For colder days, layer it over a fine long-sleeved base and under a wool coat. The crew neckline leaves space for a scarf without the extra height of a roll neck.

Keep the styling simple: natural fabrics, practical boots and understated accessories suit the quiet character of this knit best.

To keep your Rue jumper soft, shaped and comfortable, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a mild wool detergent
  • Do not rub, twist or wring the knit
  • Press excess water out carefully with a towel
  • Reshape the crew neck, shoulders, sleeves, cuffs and hem while damp
  • Dry flat away from direct heat or strong sunlight
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the dropped shoulders
  • Rest between wears and remove light pilling carefully with a wool comb if needed

Is Rue a chunky yak crew neck jumper?

Yes. Rue is a chunky yak crew neck jumper made with yak wool in a 4 gauge / 6 ply knit, with a relaxed one-size fit and deep ribbed edges.

Why is Rue different from a finer knit?

Rue has a chunkier construction, giving it more texture and winter presence than a fine-gauge jumper. The shape remains simple, wearable and easy to layer.

How does the one-size fit work?

Rue measures 58cm in length, 62cm across the chest and 53cm in sleeve length. The dropped shoulders and generous sleeve shape give it a relaxed fit.

Is Rue a fitted jumper?

No. Rue is designed as a relaxed, softly boxy jumper rather than a close-fitting knit. It has room through the chest and sleeve for comfortable layering.

What neckline does Rue have?

Rue has a classic crew neckline with ribbed knitted trim. It sits neatly at the neck and layers easily with a scarf or coat.

Are the cuffs and hem ribbed?

Yes. Rue has deep ribbed cuffs and a deep ribbed hem, which help define the edges of the chunky knit.

Is yak wool the same as cashmere?

No. Yak wool and cashmere are different natural fibres. Yak wool has its own soft, breathable and slightly earthy character.

How should I care for Rue?

Hand wash cold or dry clean, use a mild wool detergent, reshape while damp and dry flat away from heat.

Rina Yak Wool Jumper

The yak wool jumper has a quiet, natural softness and a clean shape that makes it easy to wear through colder months. Rina is knitted from 100% yak wool with a softly boxy outline, relaxed dropped shoulders and a neat crew neckline that sits close without feeling high.

The design is deliberately pared back. The front is plain and softly textured, with no buttons, pockets, zip or placket. The sleeves fall from a dropped shoulder and finish with a gentle rolled cuff, while the lower edge has a relaxed rolled hem that gives the jumper a natural, easy drape.

Available in S/M and M/L, Rina keeps its shorter proportion in both sizes, making it easy to layer over trousers, skirts and dresses without feeling heavy. It is a simple natural-fibre knit for customers who want breathable warmth, softness and refined everyday comfort in a lasting wardrobe piece.

Why Rina Works as a Yak Wool Jumper

  • 100% yak wool gives Rina a soft natural-fibre handle
  • The plain knit surface keeps the jumper understated and easy to style
  • The crew neckline is neat, simple and comfortable for layering
  • Dropped shoulders create relaxed ease across the upper body
  • The shorter length gives the jumper a clean, modern proportion in both sizes
  • Rolled cuffs and hem add softness without heavy ribbing
  • No visible side splits, pockets, buttons or zip, so the shape stays calm and uncluttered

Rina is built around a relaxed shape rather than a fitted silhouette, with two size options for easy everyday wear. The neckline is a classic crew, finished with a narrow knitted trim that keeps the edge soft and tidy.

The shoulder seam sits low on the arm, creating the easy dropped-shoulder line visible from the side. The sleeve then falls straight with gentle ease and finishes in a soft rolled cuff.

The body is shorter and softly boxy, with a rolled lower edge. The side seam appears clean and continuous, with no visible side split.

Rina is knitted from 100% yak wool, a rare natural animal fibre known for soft warmth and a grounded, tactile handle. Yak wool should not be described as cashmere, but it can have a beautifully soft, cashmere-like comfort when the fibre is carefully prepared and finished.

The yarn gives warmth without needing a heavy, bulky construction. It is breathable, comfortable and well suited to winter layering, especially for customers who prefer natural fibres with quiet character.

As with all natural wool fibres, some surface movement can appear with wear. Gentle care, resting between wears and occasional careful de-pilling will help keep the jumper looking at its best.

A 100% yak wool jumper is a beautiful choice when you want natural warmth and softness in a simple shape. Rina keeps the design clean so the fibre, texture and silhouette do the work.

The shorter body length makes it easy to wear with higher-waisted trousers or over dresses, while the dropped shoulder gives comfort without making the jumper feel oversized everywhere. With S/M and M/L sizing, customers can choose the amount of ease they prefer through the chest and sleeve.

Choose Rina for a refined everyday knit with breathable warmth, a soft crew neckline and quiet natural-fibre character.

Rina works well with relaxed tailoring, wide-leg trousers and simple skirts because the body is shorter and clean. It can also be layered over a thin base layer on colder days.

The plain front makes it easy with scarves and coats, while the rolled edges bring a gentle softness to the outline. The shape is simple enough for everyday wear but refined enough for a more considered winter outfit.

For a calm Ochre look, style it with natural fabrics, soft trousers and understated accessories rather than strong pattern.

To keep your Rina jumper soft, shaped and comfortable, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a mild wool detergent
  • Do not rub, twist or wring the knit
  • Press excess water out carefully with a towel
  • Reshape the neckline, shoulders, sleeves and rolled hem while damp
  • Dry flat away from direct heat or strong sunlight
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the dropped shoulders
  • Rest between wears and remove light pilling carefully with a wool comb if needed

Is Rina made from 100% yak wool?

Yes. Rina is made from 100% yak wool.

Is yak wool the same as cashmere?

No. Yak wool and cashmere are different natural fibres. Yak wool has its own soft, breathable and slightly earthy character.

Is Rina a fitted jumper?

No. Rina has a relaxed fit with dropped shoulders and a shorter, softly boxy body shape. It is available in S/M and M/L.

How long is Rina?

What are the chest and sleeve measurements?

S/M measures 60cm across the chest with a 38cm sleeve. M/L measures 64cm across the chest with a 39cm sleeve.

Does Rina have side splits?

Are the cuffs and hem ribbed?

No deep ribbing is visible. Rina has softer rolled edges at the cuffs and hem, giving a relaxed finish.

Is this jumper warm?

Rue is shaped around an easy crew neckline and a softly boxy body. The collar is ribbed and rounded, sitting close enough to feel neat but not high or restrictive.

The shoulders drop gently from the neckline, creating a relaxed upper shape. The sleeves have generous width through the arm and taper into deep ribbed cuffs, giving the jumper a comfortable winter proportion.

The hem is straight and deeply ribbed, anchoring the body without adding fuss. The back is intentionally simple, with two subtle vertical stitch lines that give the piece a small point of difference while keeping the overall look clean.

Rue is knitted from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend. The cashmere brings softness to the touch, while the lambswool adds warmth, natural body and the structure needed for a chunkier knit.

The 4 Gauge / 6 Ply construction gives the jumper more substance than a fine knit, making it especially useful for cold days. Because the surface is plain rather than heavily patterned, the texture feels understated and refined.

This is a cashmere blend jumper for customers who want warmth, ease and quiet detail rather than decorative cables or strong patterning.

A chunky crew neck jumper is one of the most wearable cold-weather pieces because it gives warmth without the extra height of a roll neck. Rue keeps that practicality but softens it with dropped shoulders, full sleeves and a clean plain-knit body.

The design is easy to layer under coats and relaxed enough to wear on its own. The shorter, straight shape avoids the heaviness of a long tunic knit, while the deep ribbing helps the garment sit neatly.

Choose Rue when you want a relaxed crew neck knit with natural fibre warmth, simple styling and a little hidden back detail.

Rue works beautifully with high-waisted trousers because the length is relaxed but not long. Wear it with wide-leg tailoring for a calm winter outfit, or pair it with denim when you want the chunky texture to feel more casual.

The plain front also makes it easy with scarves, coats and statement outer layers. Nothing competes with the rest of the outfit, so the jumper becomes a soft foundation piece rather than a loud centrepiece.

For everyday styling, keep the look simple: a clean trouser, ankle boot and long coat are enough to make Rue feel polished.

To keep your Rue jumper soft, shaped and comfortable, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a mild wool or cashmere detergent
  • Do not rub, twist or wring the knit
  • Press excess water out carefully with a towel
  • Reshape the crew neck, sleeves, hem and cuffs while damp
  • Dry flat away from direct heat or strong sunlight
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the dropped shoulders
  • Give the jumper space between wears so the natural fibres can settle

Is Rue a fitted jumper?

No. Rue has a relaxed, softly boxy shape with dropped shoulders and full sleeves. It is designed to feel easy rather than close-fitting.

Is this jumper very chunky?

Rue is knitted in 4 Gauge / 6 Ply, so it has a substantial winter feel. The shape is still clean and wearable because the front is plain and the length is not oversized.

Does Rue have side splits?

No visible side splits are shown. The side profile has a clean continuous seam and a straight ribbed hem.

What makes the back different?

The back has two subtle vertical stitch lines, giving the jumper a quiet design detail while keeping the overall look simple.

Is the neckline high?

No. Rue has a classic ribbed crew neck, not a roll neck or funnel neck. It sits neatly and is easy to layer under coats.

What is Rue made from?

Rue is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, combining cashmere softness with lambswool warmth and structure.

How long is Rue?

Rue measures 58cm in length, with a 52cm chest and 53cm sleeve in One Size. As each garment is handmade, small variations can occur.

How should I style Rue?

Wear it with wide-leg trousers, denim, simple skirts or layered over a shirt. The shorter relaxed shape works especially well with higher-waisted bottoms.

Elida Zip Collar Cardigan

The Elida zip collar cardigan brings a clean, modern edge to soft winter layering. Its cropped shape, pointed collar and easy centre-front zip give it the polished feeling of a knitted jacket, while the soft handle keeps it comfortable enough for everyday wear.

The body has a neat straight outline with smooth knitted panels through the front. Ribbing frames the zip opening, adding quiet structure through the centre, while the sleeves are worked in a stronger rib texture from the dropped shoulder down to the cuff. The collar sits open and softly shaped, with a raised back neckline that gives the piece a refined, slightly tailored finish.

Knitted in a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, Elida feels warm, natural and beautifully substantial without looking heavy. It is a versatile cropped cardigan for simple trousers, skirts, denim and layered dressing when you want the knit to feel relaxed but still considered.

Why Elida Has a Modern Collar Shape

  • The zip front gives the cardigan a cleaner, more contemporary finish than a buttoned style
  • The soft pointed collar creates a polished neckline without feeling formal
  • The cropped body keeps the shape neat and easy to layer
  • Ribbed sleeves add visible texture and structure through the arm
  • Wide ribbing beside the zip draws the eye vertically through the front
  • The smooth body panels balance the stronger sleeve texture
  • No buttons or pockets, keeping the design simple and refined
  • A useful alternative to a plain cardigan or light knitted jacket

Elida is built around the relationship between a clean zip front and a softly shaped collar. The zip runs through the centre of the body, with wide ribbed trim on either side to give the opening a defined finish.

The collar is open and pointed rather than rolled or hooded, so the neckline feels smart but still relaxed. At the back, the raised neckline gives the cardigan a little extra structure around the shoulders.

The body is cropped and straight, finishing neatly at the high hip. The sleeves have a more pronounced rib texture and a comfortable full-length shape, creating a subtle contrast against the smoother knitted body.

Elida is knitted from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend. The cashmere softens the surface, while the lambswool brings natural warmth, body and everyday durability to the knit.

The 7 Gauge / 3 Ply construction gives the cardigan a substantial feel without making the cropped silhouette look heavy. It has enough structure for the collar and zip shape to sit well, while still feeling soft against the body.

This makes Elida especially useful when you want a layer that feels warmer and more elevated than a simple top, but easier and softer than a jacket.

A zip collar cardigan is a practical choice when you want comfort, warmth and a neater outline in one piece. Unlike an open cardigan, Elida can be worn fully zipped, partly open or relaxed over a simple base layer.

The collar gives the knit a softly tailored feeling, while the cropped length makes it easy with fuller trousers, skirts and dresses. It adds shape without adding unnecessary bulk through the lower body.

Elida is a strong choice for anyone who loves natural-fibre knitwear but wants something a little cleaner and more contemporary than a traditional button cardigan.

Wear Elida zipped over a fine top for a neat everyday look, or leave it slightly open when you want the collar to sit more casually. The cropped length works beautifully with high-waisted trousers and wide-leg shapes because it keeps the waistline visible.

For a softer outfit, style it with a simple skirt and boots. For a cleaner weekend look, pair it with denim and let the collar and zip detail give the outfit structure.

It also layers well beneath coats because the body is not long or bulky. The ribbed sleeves add texture when the cardigan is worn on its own, while the smooth body keeps the overall look calm and refined.

To help your Elida cardigan keep its softness, collar shape and clean zip-front finish, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a mild wool or cashmere detergent
  • Close or smooth the zip before washing to protect the front edge
  • Do not rub, twist or wring the knit
  • Press out excess water gently with a towel
  • Reshape the collar, sleeves and hem while damp
  • Dry flat away from direct heat
  • Store folded rather than hanging, so the shoulders and cropped shape stay neat

What makes Elida a zip collar cardigan?

Elida has a centre-front zip and a soft pointed collar, giving it a cleaner, more jacket-like outline than a traditional button cardigan.

Is Elida cropped?

Yes. Elida measures 53cm in length and is designed to sit around the high hip. The shorter length works well with high-waisted trousers, skirts, dresses and denim.

Does Elida have buttons or pockets?

No. The design is intentionally clean, with the zip front, collar and ribbed sleeves providing the main detail.

Can I wear the zip partly open?

Yes. The zip can be worn fully closed for warmth, partly open for a softer neckline, or left open as a relaxed layer.

What is the sleeve shape like?

The sleeves are comfortable and full length, with a strong rib texture that gives them gentle structure without feeling tight.

Is Elida one size?

Yes. Elida is offered in One Size, with a 53cm length, 56cm chest and 37cm sleeve measurement.

What is the fibre blend?

Elida is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, combining softness, warmth and natural structure.

How should I care for the zip and collar?

Handle the zip gently, smooth the collar into shape after washing and dry the cardigan flat. Avoid hanging it, as this can pull on the shoulders and front edge over time.

Enya Aran Roll Neck Jumper

The Enya aran roll neck jumper is a richly textured winter knit with a soft, sculptural presence. Its high ribbed collar frames the neckline with warmth, while the front body is worked with raised cable panels, diamond-patterned texture and vertical stitch detail that give the jumper depth without feeling overdecorated.

The shape is relaxed and easy through the body, with dropped shoulder proportions and full sleeves that balance the shorter length. Deep ribbing at the hem anchors the jumper neatly, while the cuffs finish the sleeves with a smaller ribbed edge. From the side, Enya keeps a clean continuous line with no side splits, allowing the cable work and roll neck to remain the main focus.

Knitted in a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, Enya has a warm natural-fibre handle with softness, structure and winter comfort. It is a tactile piece for cold days, simple trousers, relaxed denim and layered dressing when you want the knit itself to bring the detail.

Why Enya Has a Distinct Winter Texture

  • Aran-inspired cable work gives the jumper a tactile winter character
  • The raised central cable panel draws the eye vertically through the body
  • Diamond stitch detail adds texture across the front and sleeves
  • The high ribbed roll neck gives warmth without needing a scarf
  • Dropped shoulders soften the fit and make the jumper easy to layer
  • The deep hem ribbing gives the shape a grounded finish
  • No side splits, so the side seam stays clean and continuous
  • A distinctive alternative to a plain roll neck jumper

Enya is built around texture. The roll neck is high, soft and ribbed, giving the top of the jumper a cosy frame. Beneath it, the front body combines a central cable panel with narrower vertical textures and diamond-shaped cable lines.

The shoulders sit low and relaxed, which gives the jumper a softer outline than a neat fitted sweater. The sleeves continue the pattern work, so the texture can be seen from both the front and the side.

The lower edge is finished with deep ribbing. This creates a clear base for the jumper and helps the body sit neatly, while the cuffs are narrower and more subtle.

Enya is knitted from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend. The cashmere brings softness to the surface, while the lambswool adds warmth, structure and a dependable winter handle.

The knit has more visual texture than a plain cashmere blend jumper, making it especially useful when you want warmth and detail in one piece. It feels cosy and substantial, but the shorter length keeps the silhouette fresh and wearable.

This is the type of textured winter knitwear that can make simple styling feel complete: a clean trouser, soft denim or a long skirt is enough.

An aran roll neck jumper gives you two winter essentials in one piece: neckline warmth and visible knit texture. Enya does this in a refined way, using cable and diamond motifs to create interest without covering the whole garment in heavy pattern.

The high neck makes it practical for colder days, while the relaxed shape stops it feeling formal. The result is a jumper with personality, warmth and easy everyday use.

It is a strong choice when you want luxury winter knitwear that looks considered, but still feels simple to wear.

Wear Enya with tailored trousers for a clean winter look, or pair it with denim when you want the cable texture to feel more relaxed. The shorter body length works well with high-waisted styles because it avoids excess bulk at the hip.

The roll neck also makes it easy under coats and sleeveless outer layers. It adds warmth at the neckline while the textured sleeves remain a quiet point of interest when the jumper is worn on its own.

For a softer outfit, style it with wide-leg trousers and simple boots; the cable pattern gives enough detail without needing strong accessories.

To keep your Enya jumper soft and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a mild wool or cashmere detergent
  • Fasten or smooth the roll neck into shape before drying
  • Do not rub, wring or twist the knit
  • Press out excess water gently with a towel
  • Reshape the cable panels, cuffs and deep hem while damp
  • Dry flat away from direct heat
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulders and roll neck

What makes Enya an aran roll neck jumper?

Enya has a high ribbed roll neck and raised Aran-inspired cable panels across the body and sleeves. The mix of cable, diamond and vertical stitch detail gives it a textured winter look.

Is Enya a fitted jumper?

No. Enya has a relaxed shape with dropped shoulders and an easy chest width. The S/M measures 60cm across the chest, while the M/L measures 64cm.

Does Enya have side splits?

No. The side view shows a clean continuous line rather than open side splits, so the hem sits as one connected shape around the body.

How long is this jumper?

The S/M length is 58cm and the M/L length is 59cm. It is shorter than a long tunic jumper, making it easy to wear with high-waisted trousers, denim or skirts.

Is the roll neck bulky?

The roll neck is substantial and ribbed, but it is designed to sit softly rather than tightly. It gives warmth and structure around the neckline.

What is the fibre blend?

Enya is knitted from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, combining cashmere softness with lambswool warmth and structure.

How should I dry Enya after washing?

After hand washing, press out water with a towel, reshape the cables and ribbing, then dry flat away from direct heat.

Can Enya be worn under a coat?

Yes. Although it has rich texture, the body is not overly long, so it can sit comfortably under a winter coat or relaxed jacket.

Cora Cable Sleeve Roll Neck Jumper

The Cora cable sleeve roll neck jumper is a warm winter knit with a clean body shape and beautifully placed texture through the sleeves. Its high fold-over ribbed neck gives cosy protection, while the raised cable detail along the outer arms adds depth without making the front feel busy.

The silhouette is relaxed and straight, with raglan-style shoulder shaping that softens the line from neckline to sleeve. A deeper ribbed hem gives the jumper weight at the base, while the cuffs are narrower and neater so the sleeves finish cleanly at the wrist.

Knitted in a 4 Gauge / 6 Ply construction from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend, Cora has the substance of a true winter jumper with the softness and natural warmth expected from refined Ochre knitwear.

Why Cora Is Built for Cold Days

  • High ribbed roll neck helps keep warmth close without needing a scarf indoors
  • 4 Gauge / 6 Ply knit gives the jumper a substantial winter handle
  • Raised cable detail along the outer sleeves adds texture in a clean, wearable way
  • Raglan-style shoulder shaping gives the upper body a softer line
  • Deep hem ribbing is larger than the cuff ribbing, adding weight and structure at the base
  • Plain knit front keeps the overall look calm and easy to style
  • Relaxed straight body works over everyday layers without clinging
  • A useful choice for women looking for luxury winter knitwear with quiet detail

Cora is shaped around a high fold-over roll neck, giving the jumper a warm, protective feel at the top without making the body look heavy. The ribbing at the neck is deep and defined, so it frames the face and sits cleanly above coats and jackets.

The shoulders are cut with a raglan-style line, which softens the transition into the sleeves and gives the jumper an easy winter shape. Along the outside of each sleeve, a raised cable/plait detail runs down towards the cuff, adding depth and movement to the knit.

The body remains plain through the front, allowing the sleeve texture and ribbed trims to do the work. The bottom ribbing is intentionally deeper than the cuff ribbing, giving the jumper a stronger base and a neat upper-hip finish.

Cora is knitted from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend. The cashmere contributes softness and a refined handle, while the lambswool brings natural warmth, body and durability.

The 4 Gauge / 6 Ply construction gives this cashmere blend jumper a heavier winter feel than a fine knit. It has enough substance to feel cosy on cold days, but the straight body keeps the silhouette clean rather than bulky.

The surface has a soft, matte texture, with the sleeve cables standing slightly raised from the main knit. It is the kind of winter jumper that feels dependable, warm and easy to return to season after season.

Cora has a relaxed straight fit with enough width through the chest for comfortable layering. The S/M measures 60cm in length with a 60cm chest, while the M/L offers a little extra ease with a 64cm chest and 61cm length.

The sleeve length is generous, helped by the raglan shaping and full-length construction. The sleeves have an easy winter width through the upper arm, then finish into narrower ribbed cuffs for a cleaner line.

There are no side splits on this jumper. The side seam continues down to the hem, giving Cora a simple, grounded shape that works with tailored trousers, denim, skirts or relaxed winter layers.

Cora is for women who want a proper winter knit, but prefer detail in the construction rather than heavy decoration across the whole garment. The plain front makes it easy to wear, while the sleeves give it character.

It suits wardrobes built around natural fibres, soft tailoring and practical warmth. Wear it with simple trousers for a polished everyday look, or layer it under a roomy coat when the weather turns colder.

This women’s roll neck jumper is especially useful when you want the comfort of a chunky knit with a quieter, more refined finish.

To help Cora keep its shape and soft winter handle, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a mild wool or cashmere detergent
  • Fasten away from rough surfaces that could catch the sleeve cable detail
  • Do not rub, wring or twist the knit
  • Reshape the roll neck, raglan shoulders, sleeve cables, cuffs and hem while damp
  • Dry flat away from direct heat
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the weight of the knit

What makes Cora a cable sleeve roll neck jumper?

Cora combines a high ribbed roll neck with raised cable/plait detail along the outer sleeves. The front body stays plain, so the texture feels refined rather than overworked.

Is Cora a chunky winter jumper?

Yes. The 4 Gauge / 6 Ply knit gives Cora a substantial winter feel, with more weight and warmth than a fine-gauge jumper.

Does this jumper have side splits?

No. Cora has a continuous side seam and a straight body shape, with no side splits.

How does the hem differ from the cuffs?

The bottom hem ribbing is deeper and more prominent than the cuff ribbing. This gives the jumper a stronger base while the cuffs stay neater around the wrist.

What is the fit like?

Cora has a relaxed straight fit. The S/M measures 60cm in length with a 60cm chest, while the M/L measures 61cm in length with a 64cm chest.

Is the roll neck tight?

The roll neck is designed to feel warm and softly structured. It sits high at the neck, but the ribbed knit gives it natural flexibility.

Can Cora be worn under a coat?

Yes. Although it is a warm winter knit, the plain body and straight shape make it easy to wear under a roomy coat or jacket.

How should I dry this jumper after washing?

After hand washing, press out water with a towel, reshape carefully and dry flat. Avoid hanging it while wet, as the weight of the knit can stretch the shoulders and hem.

Will the sleeve cables need special care?

They do not need complicated care, but avoid rubbing or snagging the raised sleeve detail. Reshape the cables gently while damp after washing.

How should I store Cora?

Fold Cora flat in a drawer or on a shelf. This protects the roll neck, raglan shoulders and heavier hem from stretching.

Froyo Collared V-Neck Jumper

The Froyo collared V-neck jumper has an easy oversized shape with a soft open neckline and a relaxed, modern drape. Its wide ribbed collar frames the neck without feeling formal, while the open V front gives the piece a lighter feel than a classic crew neck.

The body is cut generously, with dropped shoulders and a loose straight sleeve that falls naturally from the upper arm. A deep ribbed hem anchors the shape, and the softly curved lower edge gives the jumper movement rather than a flat, boxy finish.

Knitted in an 8 Gauge / 2 Ply blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, Froyo balances softness, warmth and breathability. It is designed as a comfortable throw-on layer with enough structure to look considered, yet enough ease to feel relaxed from the first wear.

Why Froyo Works as an Easy Layer

  • Open V-neckline gives the jumper a lighter, more relaxed look
  • Wide ribbed collar adds structure without making the shape formal
  • Dropped shoulders create an easy drape through the upper body
  • Generous chest width gives the knit its oversized, comfortable proportion
  • 8 Gauge / 2 Ply construction keeps the handle soft and wearable
  • Ribbed cuffs and hem help define the edges of the relaxed shape
  • Curved lower edge gives movement and a softer finish at the hem
  • Useful over shirts, base layers or worn simply on its own

Froyo is built around a relaxed collar rather than a close neckline. The ribbed collar sits open and folds softly, creating a gentle frame around the upper body. The V-shaped opening is deep enough to feel easy, but still neat enough for everyday wear.

The shoulder line is dropped, giving the jumper its loose, unforced character. From the side, the sleeve falls from a lowered shoulder seam and keeps a clean line down the arm, while the cuff adds a little definition at the wrist.

The placket is knitted into the front without buttons, so the neckline stays simple and uncluttered. This lets the collar, drape and texture do the work rather than adding extra decoration.

Froyo is knitted from a 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool blend. Cashmere lends a soft, gentle touch, while lambswool gives the jumper warmth, spring and natural structure.

The 8 Gauge / 2 Ply knit creates a medium-light feel that sits comfortably between fine layering knitwear and heavier winter styles. It has warmth through the body, but the open neckline and relaxed shape stop it from feeling closed in.

The surface has a softly brushed character with visible knit texture, giving the jumper a tactile finish that suits its easy, generous silhouette.

With a 77cm chest width and 66cm length, Froyo is intentionally roomy. It is designed to fall away from the body rather than sit closely, making it especially comfortable over lighter layers.

The 35cm sleeve length works with the dropped shoulder construction, so the sleeve reads as relaxed and easy rather than short. The ribbed cuff gives the sleeve a clear finish and helps keep the shape practical for daily wear.

The curved hem softens the lower line and gives the jumper a more fluid appearance from the front and side.

Froyo works well when you want knitwear with presence but not stiffness. Pair it with slim trousers to balance the generous shape, or wear it with wide-leg trousers for a more relaxed, layered look.

The open collar also makes it useful over a simple vest, fine long-sleeve top or shirt. Because the shape is generous, it is especially good for days when comfort and ease matter as much as warmth.

Its clean front, soft collar and textured knit make it a versatile piece for casual dressing, travel, cool evenings and everyday layering.

To keep your Froyo collared V-neck jumper soft and beautifully shaped, we recommend gentle care:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a mild wool or cashmere detergent
  • Wash with similar colours only
  • Do not wring, rub or twist the knit
  • Reshape the collar, cuffs and curved hem while damp
  • Dry flat naturally, away from direct heat
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the dropped shoulders and relaxed shape

What shape is the Froyo jumper?

Froyo has an oversized collared V-neck shape with dropped shoulders, a generous body and a softly curved hem. It is relaxed rather than fitted.

Is the neckline open or high?

The neckline is open, with a V-shaped front and a wide ribbed collar. It feels easier and lighter than a high crew neck.

How does the one size fit?

The jumper is cut generously, with a 77cm chest width and 66cm length. It is intended to fall loosely and layer comfortably.

Why is the sleeve length 35cm?

The sleeve length works with the dropped shoulder shape. Because the shoulder seam sits lower, the sleeve falls naturally to create a full relaxed sleeve line.

Is Froyo heavy?

No. The 8 Gauge / 2 Ply construction gives the jumper warmth and softness without the weight of a very heavy knit.

Can I wear it over a shirt?

Yes. The open neckline and roomy body make Froyo easy to layer over a shirt, fine top or base layer.

Does the hem sit straight?

The hem has a soft curved line rather than a completely flat edge. This gives the jumper movement and helps the oversized shape fall naturally.

How should I store it?

Fold it flat rather than hanging it. This helps protect the collar, shoulder line and generous body shape over time.

Mina Sleeveless Buttoned Cardigan

The Mina sleeveless buttoned cardigan is a compact knitted layer with a neat round neckline, a button-through front and a softly boxy shape. It gives the warmth of a cardigan through the body while keeping the arms free, making it easy to wear over shirts, fine knitwear or simple base layers.

The front is finished with five buttons, framed by a ribbed placket that keeps the shape tidy without looking formal. Two patch pockets sit low on the body and each pocket has its own button detail, adding balance to the cropped proportion and giving the piece a practical, gently relaxed feel.

Knitted in a 4 Gauge / 6 Ply blend of 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool, Mina has a soft, warm and substantial handle. The ribbed neckline, armhole edges and hem give structure to the sleeveless silhouette, while the short length makes it especially useful with high-waisted trousers, skirts and layered everyday outfits.

Why Mina Works as an Easy Layer

  • Sleeveless cardigan shape keeps the body warm while leaving the arms comfortable
  • Five-button front makes the piece easy to wear open or fastened
  • Two patch pockets add useful detail without making the shape bulky
  • Ribbed neckline, placket, armholes and hem give the cardigan a clear knitted structure
  • 4 Gauge / 6 Ply construction creates a substantial yet wearable feel
  • Short length sits neatly with high-waisted trousers, dresses and skirts
  • Soft natural-fibre blend offers warmth, comfort and gentle drape
  • S/M and M/L measurements make the fit easier to choose

Mina is designed with a simple front-facing shape, but the details are carefully placed. The round neckline is edged with ribbing, giving the top of the cardigan a soft frame that sits close without feeling tight.

The button placket runs cleanly down the centre with five visible front buttons. Below the waistline, two patch pockets sit evenly on the body, each finished with a small button so the pocket detail feels intentional rather than decorative only.

The side view shows the depth of the armhole and the structured ribbing along the side and lower edge. This keeps the sleeveless shape tidy while still allowing room to layer over a fine top or shirt.

The knit uses a 4 Gauge / 6 Ply construction, giving Mina a warmer and more tactile feel than a fine lightweight layer. It has enough substance to sit confidently over other pieces, yet the sleeveless cut keeps it practical for indoor wear and seasonal layering.

The 30% cashmere content gives the surface a softer handle, while the 70% lambswool adds warmth, body and natural resilience. Together, the fibres create a cardigan that feels cosy without becoming heavy through the sleeves.

The stitch texture is visible across the body and pockets, with deeper ribbing at the neckline, placket and hem. These details help the cardigan hold its shape and make the construction clear at a glance.

Mina has a short, softly boxy fit. In S/M, the length is 50cm, the chest measures 48cm and the arm hole is 25cm. In M/L, the length is 51cm, the chest measures 52cm and the arm hole is 26cm.

The cropped proportion means it sits neatly at the waist or upper hip, depending on height and body shape. The wider armhole gives space for a slim layer underneath, while the ribbed hem keeps the bottom edge controlled.

Because each piece is handmade, small variations can occur. The measurements are intended as a helpful guide rather than a rigid factory measurement.

Wear Mina over a close-fitting long-sleeve top for a clean everyday look, or layer it over a soft shirt when you want the button front and pockets to feel more relaxed. It also works well over a simple dress, especially when a full cardigan would feel too warm.

The shorter length makes it easy to pair with wide-leg trousers or high-waisted denim because it does not add bulk around the hips. Worn open, it gives a softer line; worn fastened, it has the neat feel of a knitted waistcoat.

This is the kind of layer that can move between casual and refined outfits without needing much styling. The shape is practical, but the texture and button details keep it distinctive.

To care for Mina, fasten the buttons before washing and handle the knit gently:

  • Hand wash cold or dry clean
  • Use a mild wool or cashmere detergent
  • Wash with similar colours only
  • Do not rub, wring or twist the fabric
  • Press excess water out with a clean towel
  • Reshape the neckline, placket, pockets, armholes and hem while damp
  • Dry flat naturally, away from direct heat
  • Store folded rather than hanging to protect the shoulders and cropped shape

What is the Mina Sleeveless Buttoned Cardigan made from?

Mina is knitted from 30% cashmere and 70% lambswool. This blend gives softness from the cashmere and warm, structured comfort from the wool.

How many buttons does Mina have?

Mina has five front buttons on the main placket, plus one button on each of the two patch pockets.

Is Mina more like a cardigan or a waistcoat?

It has the button-through shape of a cardigan, but the sleeveless design gives it the easy layering feel of a knitted waistcoat.

What are the S/M measurements?

The S/M size measures 50cm in length, 48cm across the chest and 25cm at the arm hole.

What are the M/L measurements?

The M/L size measures 51cm in length, 52cm across the chest and 26cm at the arm hole.

Does the cardigan have pockets?

Yes. Mina has two front patch pockets positioned low on the body, each with a button detail and ribbed top edge.

Is the knit lightweight?

No, it is not a fine lightweight knit. The 4 Gauge / 6 Ply construction gives Mina a warmer, more substantial feel while the sleeveless shape keeps it easy to wear.

Can I wear it over another jumper?

Yes, the armholes allow space for light layering. It works best over a fine jumper, fitted long-sleeve top or soft shirt.

How should Mina be dried after washing?

After gentle hand washing, press out water with a towel, reshape the cardigan carefully and dry it flat away from direct heat.

Should I hang this cardigan?

It is better stored folded. Hanging may stretch the shoulders and alter the short, softly boxy shape over time.
