Description
This generous, knitted cardigan / jacket comes in three sizes: XS/S fits women’s size 8-10, S/M fits women’s size 10-12 and M/L fits women’s size 14/16. The roomy proportions and straight hem mean this style can be effortlessly pulled on over T-shirts, blouses or lighter knits as a softer and cosier alternative to a denim jacket. The authentic Shetland wool is lighter and dryer in feel (than the British wool which has been used in the classic Betty cardigan), making this piece just right for autumn layering.
Trimmed with a chunky ribbed placket and neck trim. All colours have a different sustainably made buttons; the Spruce Green has natural horn buttons, the Surf White has recycled paper buttons and the Blood Orange has buttons made from a by-product of milk.
The vibrant Spruce Green, Ocean Blue and Blood Orange colours and subtle Surf White are beautiful heathered tones unique to this yarn the Surf White is completely undyed. Find out more about my Authentic Shetland Wool here: Authentic. Shetland. Wool.
