Meet the Lea Slub Lambswool Cardigan, a beautifully textured British-made women's cardigan designed for effortless everyday layering. Knitted in Britain from luxurious chunky slub lambswool twisted with a vibrant pink marl, its unique two-tone texture creates beautiful depth and character, giving the knit an almost jacket-like structure while remaining utterly soft and cosy to wear.
Designed with a relaxed, contemporary silhouette, the Lea features a deep V-neck, contrasting cuffs and pocket trims, making it an easy piece to throw over T-shirts, dresses and fine knitwear. Finished with British-made Codelite buttons from Courtney & Co., the last remaining button maker in the UK, every detail has been thoughtfully considered to celebrate exceptional British craftsmanship.
A timeless cardigan you'll reach for season after season.

The Yarn
100% super-fine slub lambswool
The yarn used to craft our Lea cardigans is spun in Scotland from super-fine lambswool into a textured slub yarn. This is a very time-consuming process, creating an even slub whilst ensuring the highest quality finish. Due to this slow process, only a small amount of yarn is created each year. Genevieve create's custom marls to showcase the beauty of this textured slub, with a fine lambswool in a vibrant pink melange highlighting the sumptuous details of the yarn.
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.

GS Style Advice
An effortless layer for everyday dressing. Throw it over a classic T-shirt with denim for relaxed weekends, wear with tailored trousers for an elevated workwear look, or layer over a brushed Laide wool vest when the temperature drops. The relaxed silhouette makes the Lea the cardigan you'll reach for again and again.
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.
