Add it to your wardrobe when you want visual interest without fuss.

What the blend means — fabric information

This cardigan is knit from a modern blended yarn that pairs resilient synthetics with a small amount of natural wool. The synthetic fibers give color retention, shape memory and stretch, while the wool content brings a touch of natural warmth and softness. Expect a mid-weight knit with good drape that keeps its shape through regular wear.

• Acrylic: a lightweight synthetic that mimics wool’s softness, holds dye well (bright, lasting color), resists moth damage and is easy to care for. It can pill over time and may hold static.
• Polyester: durable, quick-drying and abrasion-resistant — it reinforces structure and colorfastness in blended knits.
• Nylon: adds stretch and resilience so the cardigan recovers after wear and resists snags.
• Wool (small percentage): brings natural warmth, breathability and a cozy hand. Even a little wool improves insulation and comfort in cooler weather.

Fabric advantages — Pros & Cons

How to measure — get your best fit

To select the right size, compare your own measurements to the garment measurements provided on the product page. If you have a favorite cardigan, measure it and compare — that often gives the most accurate result.

1. Bust/Chest (body): Wrap the tape around the fullest part of your bust keeping the tape level and relaxed — don’t hold your breath. This is your natural bust measurement.
2. Bust/Chest (garment): Lay a similar cardigan flat and measure straight across the chest from seam to seam, then double that number for full circumference.
3. Sleeve length: For a sleeve-length comparison, measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff on a cardigan you like. Some retailers list sleeve length from center‑back neck to cuff — check the product measurement note to match method.
4. Length: Measure from the highest shoulder point (where a shoulder seam would sit) down to the hem on a garment you own to see where this cardigan will fall on your body.
5. Shoulder/armhole: If you wear structured layers under your knits, measure your shoulder width and the upper arm circumference to ensure comfortable movement.

How to choose your size — fit notes

• The knit is noticeably stretchy. For a closer, more tailored silhouette choose your usual size; for layering (sweater underneath) consider one size up for extra ease.
• If you prefer a relaxed, open look that drapes like a shawl, select the size that gives you 3–6 inches of ease over your usual bust measurement.
• Between sizes? If you like a sleeker look, take the smaller size; if you plan to layer heavy sweaters beneath, size up.
• Length varies between sizes — use the garment length photo on the product page and compare with a cardigan you own to determine how it will hit (hip, mid-thigh, etc.).

Model and imagery guidance

Product photography is intended to show how the piece drapes and how the gradient reads in motion. If the product page lists model height and size, use those as a reference; if not, compare the garment measurements to your favorite layering pieces and the on-figure photos to assess where the hem and sleeves will sit on you.

Color & combining suggestions

The gradient finish creates a soft, wearable visual effect — it works like a built‑in focal point. Here are simple ways to combine it:

• Keep the base neutral: a white tee and dark jeans or black leggings lets the gradient remain the star.
• Pick one color from the gradient as an accent (bag, shoes or scarf) to create a cohesive look.
• For a smart‑casual outfit, layer the cardigan over a lightweight blouse and tailored trousers; add ankle boots.
• For a boho look, wear it over a midi dress with a belt to create shape at the waist and add layered necklaces.
• Try contrasting textures: leather skirt, denim, or corduroy pants give dimensional interest against the soft knit.

Style & silhouette

The open front and waterfall-like drape create an "angel wing" silhouette that moves with you. This shape flatters many figures because it visually lengthens the torso and skims rather than clings. The pockets and stretch make it practical for daily wear while the gradient elevates simple outfits.

Season suitability

• Best as a layering piece in fall and spring.
• Works in winter as an under‑coat companion—layer over a long-sleeve tee or turtleneck and under a coat when temperatures drop.
• Useful on cool summer evenings when you want light warmth without bulk.

Care tips — everyday handling

• Wash only when needed. Spot-clean small marks to reduce wear and fiber stress.
• Turn the cardigan inside out before washing to protect the surface and reduce pilling.
• Use a gentle detergent formulated for delicates and avoid bleach and harsh additives.
• Consider washing in a mesh laundry bag to limit abrasion and reduce the release of microfibers.
• Reshape while damp and dry flat to preserve the silhouette and prevent stretching of shoulder areas.

Care guide — keep it lovely longer

1. Pre‑care: Remove small surface pills with a soft sweater comb or a fabric shaver on low setting. Do this occasionally rather than aggressively.
2. Washing: Choose a gentle, cool-water wash (hand wash or delicate cycle). If machine washing, place the cardigan inside-out in a laundry bag and select a short, gentle cycle.
3. Drying: Lay flat on a towel to dry away from direct heat and sunlight. If you must use a dryer, use the lowest heat and shortest time, and remove while slightly damp to finish flat-drying.
4. Storage: Fold and store on a shelf or in a drawer instead of hanging to avoid shoulder stretch. Use cedar blocks or natural moth deterrents if storing long-term.
5. Ironing / steaming: Steam gently to remove wrinkles. If ironing is needed, use a low-heat setting and a press cloth to protect fibers.
6. Microfiber stewardship: To reduce shedding of microfibers, wash less often, use a microfibre-catching bag, and choose full loads to reduce friction.

FAQ

• Q: Is this cardigan itchy because it contains wool?
  A: The wool content is small and blended to minimize itchiness. Most people find it soft next to skin, but if you are very sensitive, wear a lightweight tee underneath.
• Q: Will it pill?
  A: All blended knits can pill in high-friction areas. Pilling is cosmetic and can be managed with a fabric shaver and by following gentle-wash care practices.
• Q: How should I size if I want to layer thicker sweaters under it?
  A: Because the knit has good stretch, choose your regular size for a layer-over-tee fit and size up if you plan to wear heavy sweaters underneath (aim for 3–6 inches of extra chest ease).
• Q: Is the gradient identical on every piece?
  A: Gradient dyeing produces subtle variations from piece to piece; these are normal and part of the garment’s charm.
• Q: Can I pack it for travel?
  A: Yes — the knit resists wrinkles and packs well. Fold gently and remove from your bag upon arrival to restore its natural drape.
• Q: How do I remove small snags?
  A: Gently push the snag through to the inside with a blunt needle and then trim any excess if necessary; avoid pulling.

• Boho weekend: Flowy midi dress + ankle booties + a thin belt over the cardigan to define the waist.
• Travel uniform: Layer over a long-sleeve tee, add a scarf and slip-on shoes — pockets hold boarding pass and phone.
