More about my oversized wrap cardigan sweaters
It’s easy to move the fastenings higher or lower to suit your body shape and you can also remove the fastenings completely if you like to wear it open, or fasten it with your favourite brooch. These cardigans are soft and light, easy to wear, and easy to layer. Washable. See details to the right.

Knitted clothes and accessories are probably the perfect example of ‘slow fashion’. I believe that we should choose the clothing we buy carefully, select items which will last, ideally keep them for years, and know how to look after each piece.
And because I knit only very small quantities of each piece, wastage is reduced, and production is more sustainable. Nothing is made in the far east, everything is handmade in Britain, slowly and carefully, and made to last.
I’m delighted to say that some of my customers are still wearing knits they bought from me 20 years ago.

Delivery/shipping to UK mainland is currently free for full price items. If your item is in stock I usually dispatch in 2-3 days of receiving your order. Delivery within the UK usually takes 3-5 days from dispatch. Worldwide delivery takes longer than delivery within the UK. You can find more detailed information on my shipping/delivery/returns page.
Destinations outside the UK add the cost of shipping at checkout. For some destinations customs duties and other tariffs may be added before or after delivery. This is not under my control and these costs cannot be refunded under any circumstances. You can find details on all of the above on my delivery/shipping/returns page. Or please get in touch with me - I’m always happy to help.

These cardigans are knit in 50% merino wool 25% silk 25% nylon.

These cardigans fit a range of sizes from small (approx UK 10) to large (approx UK 18). Please see the actual garment measurements in the diagram.
One person’s ‘nice loose fit’ will be someone else’s ‘too large’ and the fit will also depend on what you choose to wear underneath the garment.
Because a ‘good fit’ is such a personal decision I give actual garment measurements in the diagram so you can make a comparison with your favourite jumper or sweater.
Both models are wearing the same size garment.
Model wearing olive green is approx 5’10” and UK size 12/14 top - this model has wider shoulders and longer arms.
Model wearing deep forest green is approx 5’5” and 100cm bust - this model has narrower shoulders and shorter arms.
Please check your measurements against the actual garment measurements on the diagram.
Please do get in touch if you would like my advice on sizing - I’m here to help.

I recommend that you hand wash in tepid water (not hot) using a gentle non-biological washing powder or cleanser. Rinse thoroughly.
To dry your cardigan you can spin it on a slow speed and/or roll or squeeze it gently in a towel to remove most of the water.
Lay it flat (eg on a towel) to dry fully. If needed you can gently ease it into shape and size while it’s still damp. And also if needed you can pat the edges into shape.
You can read more general garment care information here. Or ask me - I’m always happy to help.
