Genevieve creates the Lenzie cardigan’s complex lilac hue through a carefully balanced melange of lilac with hints of grey and pink.

The super-soft wool Genevieve has selected for the Leslie is spun by a highly respected UK spinner and guaranteed mulesing-free. It has the beautiful characteristics of traditional Shetland wool with a soft touch, providing both comfort and warmth. The secret to its luxurious handle is that it comes from the ‘first clip’ of the lamb – an initial shear known for its unrivalled softness. Finer and more expensive, it produces a garment of exceptionally high quality without compromising on its authentic Shetland character.

Once knitted, it’s then brushed using the teasel thistle – a rarely-used specialist technique that further enhances the sumptuously soft hand-feel. Completely natural and highly effective, the teasel thistle has for centuries been used to brush and soften yarn. By elongating the fibres, it not only creates a beautifully soft feel, but lends the wool a relaxed and subtly felted quality that no man-made brush could match.

Here at GS, we see buttons as an integral part of any cardigan. Ours are made from sustainable Codelite and custom-dyed to a soft lilac pearl hue by Courtney & Co. – the last button maker in the UK.

The buttons are made from Codelite – a completely natural and biodegradable product created by curing and hardening the naturally occurring proteins found in milk. Codelite first became a staple of button manufacturing in the early twentieth century, and by reviving it Courtney & Co. committed to reducing the amount of plastic within the industry.
The unique button colours are created with eco-friendly dyes that are Oeko-tex standard 100 and AZO-free certified.

A wardrobe staple perfect for layering, its textural brushed finish and slightly cropped fit gives a modern feel when worn with t-shirt and denim or over a summer dress. A lightweight handle perfect for those cooler months.
