Our bestselling Lenzie women’s brushed wool cardigan is reimagined in Midnight, a deep melange inspired by a hazy night sky. Dark and atmospheric, yet warmer and softer than a true black, subtle brown tones emerge through the melange to create an incredibly flattering and versatile colour.
Crafted in Britain from beautifully soft wool, Lenzie has a relaxed, boxy silhouette and is brushed with natural dried teasel thistles to create its signature soft, hazy texture. Cosy yet unexpectedly lightweight, the wool is naturally breathable and temperature-regulating for effortless layering through the seasons.
Thoughtful British-made details elevate this everyday cardigan. Each Lenzie is finished with British-made corozo buttons from Courtney & Co. in the Cotswolds, one of the last remaining button manufacturers in the UK, custom-dyed to complement the warm, dark tones of the Midnight melange.
Cosy without feeling heavy, Midnight is an alternative to a classic black cardigan: rich, warm and incredibly easy to wear. A timeless British-made wool cardigan, designed with considered details and traditional craftsmanship to be worn season after season.

The Yarn
100% super-soft wool
Genevieve creates Lenzie’s Midnight melange through a carefully balanced blend of deep brown and black fibres, creating a warm, hazy depth reminiscent of a dusty night sky. Dark without being a true black, the subtle brown undertones give the colour its distinctive warmth.
The Lenzie cardigan is knitted from 100% British-spun wool, chosen for its softness, durability and natural warmth.
Sourced from mulesing-free flocks, the yarn comes from the first clip of the lamb — the initial shear prized for its exceptional softness. Finer and rarer than later clips, it produces a garment of remarkable quality while preserving the authentic character of traditional wool.
Once knitted, the cardigan is gently brushed using dried teasel thistles, a rare traditional finishing technique. Used for centuries, teasels softly lift the fibres to create a beautifully soft, subtly felted texture that no synthetic brush can replicate.

The Weight
Knitted in a midweight wool, Lenzie offers warmth without heaviness. Wool’s natural breathability and temperature-regulating properties make it the perfect layer for transitional seasons and beyond.
Warm enough to wear without a coat on cooler spring days, it helps block the breeze on walks yet remains light and comfortable when the sun appears.
The beauty of wool is its ability to adapt — keeping you warm and cosy in the colder months too. One cardigan that works effortlessly through the seasons.
GS Style Advice
A true wardrobe staple, the Lenzie cardigan layers effortlessly through the seasons. The softly brushed texture and relaxed, slightly cropped silhouette give it a modern feel.
This is no ordinary brown cardigan: its rich, textural finish brings depth and interest, making it perfect for a full chocolate look. Pair it with navy tailoring, denim or tonal knitwear for an effortlessly refined outfit. It also styles beautifully with denim and a simple tee, layered over a summer dress, or worn with a detailed blouse for a more polished feel.
It’s the kind of piece you’ll reach for again and again, the cardigan you won't know what you did without it.

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.
Our brushed wool styles are finished to create a soft, light halo across the surface of the knit. With wear, these fibres may naturally settle or gather slightly — this is part of the character of brushed wool and often becomes even more beautiful as the knit relaxes with time. If needed, the texture can be easily refreshed by lightly brushing the surface with a soft clothes brush from time to time.
With thoughtful care, your knit will remain beautifully soft and wearable for years to come.
