Sweaters & Cardigans - function and fashion combined

Sweaters and cardigans are more than just protection against the cold - they shape an outfit and fulfil multiple functions. As warming mid-layers under coats and jackets, they provide comfort without bulk. A fine knit sweater looks elegant and soft against the skin, while a robust boiled wool cardigan adds structure and character. Depending on the material and workmanship, sweaters and cardigans can appear sporty and casual, classic and elegant, or rustic and timeless - making them essential companions for every season.

Which fabrics are suitable for sweaters & cardigans?

Sweaters and cardigans are worn year-round - from lightweight summer knits to warming wool qualities for winter. Key factors are elasticity, thermal properties and texture:

• Fine knits & merino jersey: Especially soft, smooth and elastic - perfect for slim, close-fitting sweaters or lightweight cardigans.
• Boiled wool fabrics & light boiled wool: Compact and warming with a natural, rugged texture - ideal for rustic jackets and sturdy cardigans.
• Waffle jersey & textured knits: Interesting surfaces for modern designs, slightly elastic with a distinctive grip.
• Hemp & linen knits: Loose, breathable and natural - with subtle irregularities that add character.

Which fabric for which style?

• Casual & cosy: Chunky hemp knits or boiled wool for relaxed oversized cardigans.
• Elegant & refined: Soft merino knits for lightweight sweaters with a fluid drape.
• Distinctive & individual: Waffle jersey or heavier knit fabrics for structured effects.

Sustainability & quality

Natural boiled wool, hemp knits and organic merino knits are durable, eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic knit fabrics. They offer not only high quality but also an especially comfortable and natural wearing experience.
