ERIBÉ KINROSS wool sweater – soft luxury in colorful stripes
Oh la la, here she is: the KINROSS sweater from ERIBÉ Knitwear. And honestly? This is the kind of sweater that makes you happy instantly. Soft, colorful, special, and 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, bring on the autumn.
The KINROSS is made from 100% extra-fine merino lambswool. That sounds luxurious, and that's how it feels too. Soft on the skin, warm without being heavy, and breathable enough so you won't immediately start sweating once you're indoors. Exactly why we love good wool.
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 blocks that give each color variant a completely different look. Some colors are fresh and soft, others bold and warm. But all of them have that typical ERIBÉ feeling: cheerful, quirky, and yet stylish.
These are not sweaters you buy "just because" for one season. These are wearable little paintings that you will enjoy for years. Provided you are a little kind to them, 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 have to wash this sweater very often at all. Airing it out outside or hanging it in the bathroom often does wonders.
Also good to know: the wool ERIBÉ uses is mulesing-free. We think that's important. Because when you choose wool, you naturally want it to not only be nice and warm and beautiful, but also that animals are treated better.
How does the ERIBÉ KINROSS sweater fit?
The KINROSS fits true to size and slightly looser than, for example, the ALPINE models from ERIBÉ. This makes it feel a bit more relaxed and easier to wear. Still beautifully feminine, but not tight or restrictive.
I wear a size M in the photo and am normally a size 40. If you want a more fitted look, choose your own size. Do you like a looser fit or do you like to wear a shirt or blouse under your sweater? Then you can optionally choose a size larger.
In doubt? Be sure to check the size chart with the photos or call us. We are 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 the kind of sweater that doesn't actually need much. Because of the colors and the pattern, it is special enough on its own.
Wear it with jeans for a cheerful, easy autumn look. With corduroy trousers, it becomes warmer and richer. With black or dark wide-leg trousers, it gets a calm, stylish base. And under a wool coat, that colorful pattern peeks out just right.
What I love about it: you can very easily wear color with this sweater without it becoming complicated. You don't have to style the entire 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 hardly ever need to wash wool. Really. Just airing it out is often enough. That's not only better for your sweater, but also for the environment and your laundry basket. Win-win-win.
Does the sweater still need to be washed? Then choose a cold wool wash cycle and use a little bit of wool detergent with lanolin, such as our favorite Lanalicious wool detergent. Then let the sweater dry flat on a towel. Do not hang it up while it is wet, as it may lose its shape.
And please: no tumble dryer. Wool really doesn't get happy from that. And you probably won't either afterward.
You can view extra tips in the video I made especially for you. Also, read our laundry guide, which you receive with every purchase, carefully. It contains exactly those small tips that keep your woolen clothing looking beautiful for much longer.
Pilling? Don't panic
Pilling can occur with soft wool. That is normal and does not mean your sweater is of poor quality. Soft, natural fibers in particular can form some fluff 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 worth its weight in gold. Above all, do not pull on the pills, but remove them gently with the correct side of the Gleener. That way your sweater stays beautiful and fresh.
Sustainable & fair
ERIBÉ designs in Scotland and makes 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 precisely because this sweater is so distinctive yet timeless, it remains special. Year after year.
That is what we at Natur-el love so much: clothing that makes you happy, but that has also been thought through. About the material, the makers, the design, and the longevity.
Don't buy if...
Are you looking for a thin, smooth basic sweater without a pattern? Then the ERIBÉ KINROSS is probably not your style.
But are you looking for a soft wool sweater with color, character, and Scottish craftsmanship? Then this really is the kind of sweater you will enjoy for years to come.
