Lea Cardigan Textured Lambswool Hazelnut

The perfect cardigan for elevating an everyday outfit, the Lea is knitted in a stylish duo-tone chunky slub lambswool marl. The contemporary slouchy silhouette makes for a relaxed fit that can be styled over t-shirts or layered over finer knits for extra warmth. Featuring a deep v-shaped neckline and contrasting cuffs and pocket trims, the Lea cardigan is ideal for anyone seeking a statement knit.

• 100% super-fine slub lambswool
•  Made in London
•  Hand wash or dry clean only
•  5GG – for a mid-heavy weight knit

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 rich hazelnut, charcoal and black 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.

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

The buttons are made from Corozo – a completely natural and biodegradable product derived from the nuts of the Tagua Palm. This amazing tree grows in the rainforests of Central America and produces nuts without any need for human harvesting.

The unique button colours are created with eco-friendly dyes that are Oeko-tex standard 100 and AZO-free certified, it’s such a valuable crop that the forests where it grows are being actively preserved.

The Lea cardigan is that effortless staple in your capsule wardrobe – capable of being worn with anything, throughout the seasons. Add textural interest with a modern slouch fit over a fine knitted T-shirt, or nonchalantly shrug it over a fine knit or evening dress like a jacket.
