ERIBÉ KINROSS wool sweater – soft luxury in colorful stripes
Oh la la, here she is: the KINROSS sweater by ERIBÉ Knitwear. And honestly? This is one of those sweaters that instantly makes you happy. Soft, colorful, special, yet very wearable. Not a boring winter sweater, but a wool sweater with character. The kind you pull on on a crisp day and think: yes, let autumn come.
The KINROSS is made from 100% extra-fine merino lambswool. That sounds luxurious, and it feels that way too. Soft against the skin, warm without becoming heavy, and breathable enough that you won't immediately start sweating once you're indoors. Exactly why we love good wool so much.
That typical ERIBÉ feeling
ERIBÉ is from Scotland and is known for colorful knitwear with a modern twist on traditional knitting patterns. Think Fair Isle, beautiful color combinations, fine details, and sweaters that feel like someone truly put effort into them.
The KINROSS sweater has horizontal patterns and color bands that give each color variant a completely different look. Some colors are fresh and soft, others are bold and warm. But they all have that typical ERIBÉ feeling: cheerful, quirky, and yet stylish.
These are not sweaters you "just" buy for a single season. These are wearable pieces of art that you will enjoy for years. Provided you treat them with a little love, of course. But I'll help you with that in a moment.
100% extra-fine merino lambswool
The KINROSS is made from 100% extra-fine merino lambswool. Merino wool is naturally temperature-regulating, breathable, and self-cleaning. As a result, you don't need to wash this sweater very often at all. Simply airing it out or hanging it in the bathroom often works wonders.
Also good to know: the wool ERIBÉ uses is mulesing-free. We find that important. Because when you choose wool, you don't just want it to be warm and beautiful, but also to ensure that animals are treated better.
How does the ERIBÉ KINROSS sweater fit?
The KINROSS is true to size and slightly looser than, for example, ERIBÉ's ALPINE models. This makes it feel a bit more relaxed and easier to wear. Still beautifully feminine, but not tight or restrictive.
I am wearing size M in the photo and normally wear a size 40. If you prefer a more fitted look, choose your own size. Do you like things a bit roomier, or do you like wearing a shirt or blouse under your sweater? Then you might want to size up.
Still in doubt? Be sure to check the size chart with the photos or call us. We would be happy to measure it for you. Because with such a beautiful sweater, you naturally want it to fit just right.
How to wear the KINROSS?
This is one of those sweaters that doesn't really need much. Due to the colors and pattern, it is special enough on its own.
Wear it over jeans for a cheerful, easy autumn look. Over corduroy trousers, it immediately becomes warmer and richer. With black or dark wide-leg trousers, it provides a calm, stylish base. And under a wool coat, that colorful pattern peeks out just perfectly.
What I personally love: you can easily wear color with this sweater without it getting complicated. You don't have to style your whole outfit as if you're going to a fashion show. Just put it on, add a good pair of trousers, and you're done. The sweater does the rest.
Washing tips for years of enjoyment
You almost never need to wash wool. Really. Just airing it out is often enough. That's not just better for your sweater, but also for the environment and for your own laundry basket. Win-win-win.
Does the sweater need to be washed after all? Choose a cold wool wash cycle and use a small amount of wool detergent with lanolin, such as our favorite Lanalicious wool detergent. Then, lay the sweater flat to dry on a towel. Do not hang it up while wet, as it may lose its shape.
And please: no tumble dryer. Wool really isn't happy with that. And you probably won't be either.
You can check out extra tips in the video I made especially for you. Also, read our washing guide, which you receive with every purchase, carefully. It contains exactly those small tips that help your wool clothing stay beautiful for much longer.
Pilling? No panic
Soft wool can pill. That is normal and does not mean your sweater is of poor quality. Soft, natural fibers can form small pills in places where friction occurs. Think of under your arms, by your bag, or along your coat.
Use the Gleener fabric shaver carefully for that. It is truly worth its weight in gold. Do not pull on the pills; just remove them gently with the correct side of the Gleener. This keeps your sweater looking beautiful and fresh.
Sustainable & fair
ERIBÉ designs in Scotland and creates knitwear with a love for color, craftsmanship, and tradition. Their sweaters are made to be worn for a long time, not to disappear to the back of the closet after just one winter.
The KINROSS is made from 100% mulesing-free merino lambswool. A natural material that is warm, breathable, and strong. And because this sweater is so expressive yet timeless, it remains special. Year after year.
That is what we at Natur-el love so much: clothing that makes you happy, but has also been well-thought-out. About the material, the makers, the design, and the lifespan.
Don't buy if...
Are you looking for a thin, smooth basic sweater without a pattern? Then the ERIBÉ KINROSS is probably not your model.
But are you looking for a soft wool sweater with color, character, and Scottish craftsmanship? Then this is truly one of those sweaters you will enjoy for years to come.
