Beautiful wide stripes, colors that blend subtly into one another, and then that fine, soft knit made of \u003cstrong\u003e100% organic cotton\u003c\/strong\u003e. We have it in three colorways: blue, green, and red\/orange. And honestly: all three of them have something special. 😏\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtra nice if you love wearing a knit sweater but don't like the feel of wool. And if you still want a bit more warmth? We just wear a thin wool shirt underneath. The best of both worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes the CAROLA sweater so great?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CAROLA has a fairly simple design, which lets those fantastic colors take center stage. The horizontal stripes aren't sharply defined but bleed into each other slightly. This gives you that typical \u003cstrong\u003emelange effect\u003c\/strong\u003e that FRISTED is so good at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also love the neckline: not a standard round neck, but a \u003cstrong\u003eslightly wider boat neck\u003c\/strong\u003e. Not extremely wide, but just a little bit different. The bottom is rounded and slightly longer at the back, which makes the sweater drape very easily over trousers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e100% organic cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGOTS-certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFairtrade produced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSoft knit quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWide boat neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLonger, rounded hem at the back\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStriped melange effect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in three colorways: blue, green, and red\/orange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFits true to size to slightly generous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow does the HIMALAYA CAROLA fit?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CAROLA fits \u003cstrong\u003etrue to size to slightly generous\u003c\/strong\u003e. Do you like a normal, relaxed fit? Then just choose your own size. You don’t automatically need to size up with this sweater. I am wearing a size L in the photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to the slightly looser shape and the rounded hem, it drapes very easily and casually. It’s exactly the kind of sweater you pull on over jeans and then don't have to think about for the rest of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFRISTED and HIMALAYA – how does that work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CAROLA comes from the \u003cstrong\u003eFRISTED collection by HIMALAYA\u003c\/strong\u003e. FRISTED is the knitwear label associated with HIMALAYA that focuses specifically on knitted clothing. Think beautiful yarns, unique knit structures, and above all, lots and lots of color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clothing is made with the same sustainable principles you've come to expect from HIMALAYA. This CAROLA is made of \u003cstrong\u003e100% organic cotton, is GOTS-certified\u003c\/strong\u003e, and is produced under fairtrade conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIs a cotton sweater warm?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton is wonderfully soft and comfortable, but it doesn't insulate as effectively as wool. That makes the CAROLA perfect for indoors, for the spring and autumn, and for anyone who doesn't get cold easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you a cold person like us? Layer a \u003cstrong\u003ethin wool longsleeve or a wool-silk shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e underneath. You won't see it, but you'll get that fine, temperature-regulating warmth of wool. Ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you care for a knitted cotton sweater?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do want to mention something about this, because \u003cstrong\u003eknitted cotton deserves a little love\u003c\/strong\u003e. Cotton has less natural elasticity than wool. A wet cotton sweater can therefore become quite heavy and lose its shape more easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore, wash the CAROLA at a low temperature, do not use fabric softener, and please do not put it in the dryer. After washing, \u003cstrong\u003egently pull the sweater back into its original shape\u003c\/strong\u003e and preferably let it dry flat. Don't pull hard – just gently ease the seams, sleeves, and length back into place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat do you do if you get a snag in a knitted cotton sweater?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA snag can happen with any knit. A ring, bag, zipper, or sharp edge is sometimes all it takes. \u003cstrong\u003eDo not cut the loop!\u003c\/strong\u003e That could actually cause a hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, use a \u003cstrong\u003esnag repair needle\u003c\/strong\u003e to carefully pull the loop to the inside of the sweater. Afterward, you can gently massage the fabric around the snag to distribute the tension back across the knit. Often, you will barely notice it afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about the CAROLA\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the CAROLA made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf \u003cstrong\u003e100% organic cotton\u003c\/strong\u003e. The sweater is GOTS-certified and produced under fairtrade conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the CAROLA fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue to size to slightly generous. Generally, just choose the size you are used to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a wool sweater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the CAROLA is made entirely of organic cotton. Ideal if you want a beautiful knit sweater but prefer not to wear wool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I wear wool underneath for extra warmth?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, certainly – and we think that’s a wonderful combination. A thin wool or wool-silk longsleeve under cotton provides extra warmth without making your outfit look bulky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy do I need to carefully reshape a cotton knit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWet cotton becomes heavy and has less elasticity than wool. Because of this, a knitted cotton sweater can stretch during washing. Carefully lay the sweater back into its original shape after washing and preferably let it dry flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I do if I get a snag?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not pull it and especially do not cut it. Use a snag repair needle to carefully pull the loop to the inside and then redistribute the tension around the snag by gently shaping the knit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnd then there is only the hardest part left: blue, green, or red? We’re afraid we aren’t going to help you with that choice. All three are just too great. 😉\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Himalaya","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":54641073553747,"sku":null,"price":109.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"M","offer_id":54641073586515,"sku":null,"price":109.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"L","offer_id":54641073619283,"sku":null,"price":109.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"XL","offer_id":54641073652051,"sku":null,"price":109.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1059\/6525\/7043\/files\/himalaya-gebreide-trui-gestreept-biologisch-katoen-fristed-blue.jpg?v=1787924661","url":"https:\/\/natur-el.nl\/en\/products\/himalaya-gestreepte-trui-carola-blue-biologisch-katoen","provider":"Natur-el","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
