Cashmere Round-Neck Cardigan – Black

A black cashmere cardigan is the one you reach for when you want to look put together without thinking about it. In pure cashmere this black is deep and soft, with a gentle matt surface, so it looks quietly smart over a printed dress or a crisp white shirt.

This is our own round-neck design, knitted in Kathmandu. The yarn is a fine 2-ply of 28-count, 100% cashmere, which gives an everyday weight that keeps you warm without bulk. Mother-of-pearl buttons stand out nicely against the black, and the ribbing at the cuffs and hem carries a small knitted Tibetan design. Compared with most cardigans of this kind, the sleeves and the body each have a couple of extra centimetres. Wear it buttoned to the neck or open as a layer.

Nicole, who bought it in black, calls it a “Great lightweight cashmere cardigan” and says it is “beautifully made”; another buyer of the black summed it up as “Soft, warm”. Other reviewers mention softness, light weight and the neat finish at the cuffs. Check the size guide before choosing, and if the fit is wrong, you have 30 days from delivery to return it.
