Cashmere Long Cardigan – Pompeian Red / Dune

A red striped cardigan is the cheerful one to have in a wardrobe of neutrals. Pompeian Red, a warm coral shade, is broken up by slim stripes of sandy Dune, and in pure cashmere the red has a soft glow rather than a hard brightness, so it lifts denim and navy without shouting.

There is a single cable on the back of this long cardigan, a small Tibetan-style pattern at each cuff, and a row of large coconut buttons whose natural brown picks up the sand stripe. It is knitted in a ribbed stitch from 100% cashmere, using a fine 28-count, 2-ply yarn, so it stretches and moves with you. It is made in Nepal. Wear it open over a white T-shirt, or buttoned over a plain dress on a cool evening.

Surinder, who bought this red and Dune stripe, wrote: “Pleased with my purchase, good quality”. A bright stripe is easy to style, but a long cardigan only looks right if it fits well across the shoulders, so please check the size guide before ordering. If it isn’t right, you can return it within 30 days of delivery.
