Cosy Clementine Garden Sage

100% Australian Mercerised Merino Wool. Buttons on this cardigan are wooden flower shape.

This 100% mercerised merino wool is super special so we want to explain the difference you will feel when purchasing our knits compared to others you may own!

Mercerised merino is SUPER soft and silky, it hardly feels like wool. It is made this way to feel and drape like silk yarn does. It undergoes a chemical process when the wool soaked to remove the tiny itchy fibres called "scales", and when spun into yarn the thread is coated in a silicon like material which smooths and polishes the thread into a luxurious yarn. This makes the knits have a completely soft feel and they are highly resistant to pilling. This yarn is then dyed to our colour specifications and knitted into our beautiful garments by our local (Sydney) knitted Bill.

CARE: We recommend treating your cardigans as carefully as possible, to allow you to wear them for years to come. We wash ours only when really needed, as wool is a very breathable and resilient fibre. To wash place your cardigan in a delicates bag, wash only with mild wool wash detergent, on a delicates cycle. Alternatively a soft hand wash using wool detergent will keep your cardigan looking even better for longer. Never wring, rub or bleach your cardigan.

COLD WATER WASH ONLY.

Reshape when wet and allow to dry laying flat in shade. Do not wash with anything that might rub or create pulls in the wool. If you do snag your cardigan on something, pull the thread gently to the inside of your cardigan and NEVER cut the threads, this will unravel the knit and create a hole. Wash at the end of the season (to avoid moth damage, they like to eat the dirty bits of wool!) and store your cardigan with cedar balls when not being worn, as moths find these 100% wool cardigans very tasty!

Standard fit, Go your normal size in knits or one size up for a looser more snuggly fit or if you want more room in the hip to button all the way up.

Please note that when you first put on your cardie this is the smallest it will be as the fibres have not yet relaxed. Your knit will soften and give over time so don't be afraid to stick with a size if it feels snug initially. We recommend you get a size if it will button smoothly over your chest. Wool will give at least 1-1.5cm so if the buttons gape ever so slightly at the bust this will end up a perfect fit once the cardigan is allowed to give through wearing.

Please take care when putting on your cardie and don’t pull onto your arm at the end of the sleeves, as this will break the inner arm seams (where the cardigan is sewn together) and create open seams. Instead gently ease sleeves onto your arm and allow the cardigan time to relax.
