Our take on a classic open cardigan style, this garment drapes gently when worn open, making it an everyday essential, no matter the season. It also ties up at the front for added style – tie it over the stomach for a longer style, or over the bust as a bolero. When worn like this, it’s the perfect summer cardigan for wearing over your favourite dress!
Proudly made by us in the South Island of NZ from 100% South Island 21 micron merino wool.
Style code: 147
100% Superfine 18.8 micron Merino wool
195 grams per metre weight
Our 'go to' essential layer. Being 25% heavier than Base makes it the perfect year-round layer. It can be worn directly against the skin for the ultimate natural solution for warmth, breathability and comfort.
