The Yarn
100% super-fine lambswool
This earthy, grounding hue has been custom-spun by Genevieve in tonal hues of spiced orange, hazelnut and charcoal melange. A super-fine lambswool spun in Scotland is plied up to give a luxuriously soft handle, durability and irresistible comfort.
This lambswool yarn has RWS (Responsible Wool Standards) certification, meaning that both the sheep that produce it and the land on which they graze are actively protected. Our yarn mill only sources from farms that can demonstrate respectful animal welfare, so every sheep leads a healthy life with essential freedoms.

How to Care
Hand wash or dry clean only.
Thanks to the natural properties of wool and alpaca, your knit rarely needs frequent washing. These fibres are naturally breathable and odour-resistant, meaning a little care goes a long way.
Allow your sweater to rest between wears, air it in fresh air or sunshine, and spot clean when needed. When washing is required, gently hand wash in cool water using a wool detergent, reshape while damp and dry flat.
With thoughtful care, your knit will remain beautifully soft and wearable for years to come.
Monogram
A personal touch, hand-finished in our British studio. Choose up to three characters to be hand-embroidered in a complimentary contrast colour, thoughtfully selected by Genevieve. You can also choose a hand-embroidered heart in either red or pink using the dropdown options.

Love at first sight! And wear! This is the softest wool cardigan I have ever worn
Love at first sight! And wear! This is the softest wool cardigan I have ever worn. Beautiful colour (hazelnut) that actually has several lovely tones in the yarn. I ordered the charcoal too while the sale was still on, when the prices were really fantastic for the quality.

The Alva is a beautiful cardigan
The Alva is a beautiful cardigan, soft, chunky but not heavy. I'm generally a size12, but I wanted large for a slightly oversized fit. Warm and cosy, Hazelnut is muted, autumnal colours. Perfection in a cardy.
