Women's Gansey Cardi - 100% Chunky Highland Wool - Gingerbread (S-L)

Our Gansey cardigan features a chunky highland wool in a rich gingerbread! Modelled in light grey melange from UMIFORM Knitwear's 2024 collection, photos of our 2025 collection to come. 

It's a soft springy yarn that feels so warm. It has a real homespun feel. Durable, thick, warm - gorgeous pure wool.

Women’s vintage style cardigan in textured knit pattern inspired by the classic Gansey fishermen's sweater and made from 100% Andean highland wool. Designed by UMIFORM, our own Woollykins Women's label and ethically made in Peru in collaboration with My Alpaca Copenhagen. 

100% Highland Wool from Peru. Oeko Tex certified. 

Andean highland wool comes from a crossbreed sheep that lives at high altitudes over 2000ft in the Peruvian Andes and is managed by traditional shepherds in the high country. The sheep is a cross between Merino and Corriedale and the wool is characterised as soft and thick with exceptional strength, elasticity and warmth. 

Sizes: S/M, M/L

Measurements (in cm): Taken flat across the front of garment unstretched. The knit is quite stretchy. 

Colour:Gingerbread (low impact dyes) (other colours available in 100% baby alpaca - listed separately)
