A chunky cable-knit cardigan cut long and open, with no fastening — it hangs straight from the shoulder and falls to mid-thigh, so it works as a layer rather than a jumper. The cables run in panels down the front and sleeves against a moss-stitch ground, which is what gives it the depth and the weight in the hand.
It's knitted from a blend of 40% Better Cotton Initiative cotton and 60% recycled content: offcuts from weaving and knitting mills, post-consumer clothing and recycled plastic bottles, spun back into yarn rather than thrown out. Deep ribbing runs at the cuffs, the hem and down the front edges, which is what stops a knit this heavy from dropping out of shape. It's knitted in small batches in a family-owned factory in Tuscany.
Wear it over a black roll-neck with dark straight jeans and flat loafers, or over a white tee and tailored trousers with the sleeves pushed back. It also goes over a slip dress and ankle boots when you want the weight against something finer. It's a piece that adds bulk deliberately, so keep what's underneath close to the body.
Main material: 40% Cotton (Better Cotton Initiative), 60% Recycled polyester

The fabric was super quality and thick but the fit was tiny, I usually have to roll or take up sleeves, these were very short. Overall a very small make (I purchased small). I didn’t return as I am in Australia.
The quality is great. It's thick and warm with a nice color. The sleeves were too short though. Almost 3/4 length. For a thick cardigan like this, I would have preferred longer sleeves. I returned it.
I loved the cardigan but unfortunatly it had a loose end in the sleeve so i had to returned it. That was no problem at all, but now it takes a while before it's returned. Hoping it isn't lost in the mail
I loved this cardigan the minute I unwrapped it. It's like a comfort blanket that you never want to take off! I style it with flowery/cord dresses for work or with a simple t-shirt and jeans when I am remote working. I also reach for it first thing in the morning to go downstairs for my morning cup of tea and read of the newspaper. I definitely don't think it is overpriced and love the fact it is made in a small family owned factory in Italy. Star buy!
Lovely cardigan, really well made. The only criticisms are, it’s quite expensive and a bit heavy; otherwise v pleased.
Another good quality item from Wills
