A boxy, swingy cardigan based on our Raye sweater shape in 100% natural wool. It's made from the undyed fleece of a single breed of British sheep, spun in Yorkshire and knitted in London - a truly British knit.
With the same relaxed silhouette as the sweater, the Raye cardigan has a dropped shoulder, boxy shape and a straight hem. The minimal, modern design combines heritage knitwear details at the seams inspired by English gansey jumpers and deep ribs at the hem and cuffs. A versatile piece that works well dressed up or down and pairs well with skirts, trousers or dresses.
Finished with undyed corozo buttons made in the UK, and sewn with cotton thread so that the whole knit is biodegradable and can return to soil at the end of it's long and useful life.
The wool is undyed, the ecru colour is the natural colour of the fleece with a soft grey marl which with the lustre of the wool gives it a lovely depth and character.
Made from undyed 100% British wool which is fully traceable from farm to fibre. The fibre comes from a single breed of sheep, Bluefaced Leicester, known for the fineness of their fleece. It has a soft, luxurious feel and is comfortable to wear against the skin.
Constructed using the traditional knitting process of fully fashioning whereby each piece of this garment is knit separately and then linked together by hand. All within a few miles of our studio.
Made in England in small batches.
