This beautiful hand-knit vintage cardigan features beautiful cable details, blue trim, and best of all - buttons shaped like ice skates!
Made with a soft, cozy yarn, it is in pristine, like-new condition (we aren't sure it was ever worn); the white is bright and clean, the blue is vivid and sharp, and the sweater has no stains, holes or repairs.
We believe it's wool yarn, as an acrylic or acrylic blend would be much heavier; this is a very lightweight, airy cardigan to wear, and ready to be cherished for a lifetime and beyond.
Care: hand wash cool; lay flat to dry.
Measurements:
- 19” from neckline to hem
- 13” from underarm to hem
- 36” chest circumference (measured at underarm), buttoned
- 17" sleeve, from underarm to end of cuff
About our Vintage Knits:
We love giving woolens and handmade knit and crochet items a new home! It's a great way to honor the work of these makers, and a sustainable way to shop.
We call this section "vintage knits" in that we don't generally know the age or provenance of these items, or the yarn that made them. Occasionally our shop's knit samples also make it in here!
We carefully select only the items that speak to us as beautiful and high-quality makes, and ensure they are in good condition. We check each one for minor repairs, and wash small items (hats, mittens, cowls) so that they'll be ready to wear or gift once you receive them.
All items are sold as-is; woolens and handmade items are perfectly imperfect, and we don't consider these defects, just the nature of a handmade wardrobe! We make every effort to include clear photos, measurements and descriptions; please review carefully and message us with any questions, as we cannot accept returns from our Vintage Knits category. We want you to love and enjoy each item here!
Hand wash all wool and handmade knit and crochet items in cool water with a mild soap like Soak. Wool is naturally antimicrobial, and hand knits last longer with less fuss and washing - just wear them and enjoy!
