Viscose Cardigans

Have you ever noticed that the type of fabric used in your cardigan can affect not only how it feels, but also how long it looks good? Many cardigans are made with a blend of fabrics, including acrylic or polyester. While these synthetic fabrics feel soft and are usually inexpensive, they tend to pill easily, making your cardigan look worn out in no time.

If you want a cardigan that lasts a long time, it's best to choose a cardigan made from natural materials like wool, cotton, or cashmere. Although they might cost a little more, they are more durable and will keep looking good for a long time.

Choosing the right fabric is key when it comes to finding the perfect cardigan to keep you warm. For those cool summer evenings, a thinner, cotton cardigan is ideal. But if you're looking for something to keep you cosy in winter, we suggest opting for a wool cardigan – the more wool, the warmer it will be.

Don't be put off by the misconception that wool is always prickly and itchy. Merino and cashmere wool are two types that usually feel comfortable against the skin. And if you're allergic to wool, fear not – alpaca wool is a great alternative as it doesn't contain wool fat, which can cause allergic reactions.
