Material
70% Merino Wool 30% Recycled Nylon
A knitted yarn with a soft finish. Merino wool is a natural animal fibre. It is known for maintaining warmth while offering breathability, making it a comfortable fibre for layering. Merino wool is especially fine, creating a soft finish that has a lower likelihood of pilling or causing itchiness.
The merino wool for this fibre has been sourced from Australian farms that meet global best-practice standards for responsible husbandry practices which ensure that the sheep are treated with respect and that due environmental care of agricultural land, soil health, waterways and biodiversity is taken.
Recycled nylon is a synthetic, man-made fibre, which is both durable and easy to care for. It is made from pre-consumer and post-consumer plastic waste which is deconstructed and then regenerated into a textile fibre.

The Emmer Cardigan is a slightly cropped garment, with a regular fit through the body.
The key fit points for this piece are the bust, waist, hem opening, and body length.
