Not sure what size to choose?
We understand that choosing the right size is all about the look and feel you want to achieve! Our cardigans come in two main styles:
- Relaxed Fit: Slightly bigger than a regular fit, but not as loose as the oversized style.
- Oversized Fit: A full size larger than regular, offering a roomy, relaxed look with extra volume.
Each style includes a size chart with key measurements, so we recommend comparing these with your preferred fit. Below, you’ll find details on how we measure the chest and length.
Since our knitwear pieces are handmade, please note that there may be slight variations in sizing.
If you’re still unsure about which size to choose, feel free to reach out to us at:

Care Instructions & Materials
To keep your cardigan looking its best for years to come, please follow these care instructions:
- Washing
- Hand Wash Only: Gently hand wash your cardigan in cool water (ideally below 30°C). Avoid using hot water, as this can damage the fibers and cause shrinking.
- Use Mild Detergent: Choose a mild, wool-friendly detergent or gentle soap to maintain the integrity of the yarn.
- Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals as they can cause discoloration and damage to the fabric.
- Drying
- Lay Flat to Dry: After washing, gently squeeze out excess water without wringing. Lay your cardigan flat on a clean, dry towel to dry. Reshape it to its original form to prevent stretching.
- Do Not Tumble Dry: Avoid using a tumble dryer as the heat can cause the fabric to shrink or lose its shape.
- Storing
- Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Keep your cardigan in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to avoid fading.
- Use a Sweater Bag for Storage: When not in use, consider storing your cardigan in a breathable garment bag to protect it from dust and pests.
- Avoid Hanging: Never hang your cardigan on a hanger, as this can stretch out the fabric. Instead, fold it neatly and store it flat.
- Pilling
- Pilling is Natural: As your cardigan is handmade, slight pilling may occur with wear. You can gently remove pills using a fabric shaver or sweater comb to keep your cardigan looking fresh.
- Ironing and Steaming
- Avoid ironing or steaming direct contact with the fabric to prevent damage.
- Special Care for Wool or Delicate Yarns
- Please handle with extra care to avoid snagging or pulling.
By following these simple care tips, your handmade cardigan will stay as beautiful as the day you received it, ensuring many cosy and stylish moments ahead!
