This wool cardigan from LANIUS is the kind of versatile garment you'll reach for again and again. The combination of organic wool and organic cotton feels soft, breathable, and comfortably warm, without the cardigan feeling heavy.
You can choose between two very different versions: a bold, solid red option and a warm chocolate brown version with small, colorful tweed flecks. Wear the cardigan open over a blouse or shirt, or button it up completely and wear it as a sweater.
What is the LANIUS cardigan made of?
The cardigan consists of 55% organic wool and 45% organic cotton. The wool provides natural warmth and temperature regulation, while the cotton makes the knit soft, breathable, and comfortable.
Because the cardigan consists exclusively of natural fibers, it contains no synthetic materials. The knit may become slightly more relaxed during wear. After gentle washing and drying flat, it typically returns to its original shape beautifully.
How does the LANIUS wool cardigan fit?
The cardigan has a comfortable, relaxed, and slightly generous fit. Choose your usual size for the intended loose look. If you are between sizes or prefer your cardigans to be a bit less loose, choose the smaller size.
Two colors, each with its own look
The red version is bright and bold, instantly adding color to even a simple outfit. The choco version has a deep chocolate brown base with small, colorful flecks, giving the knit a subtle tweed appearance.

How do you style the LANIUS cardigan?

Wear the cardigan buttoned up as a soft sweater over jeans or trousers. Open over a blouse, dress, or long-sleeve top, it functions as a comfortable extra layer.
Can a wool and cotton cardigan pill?
With natural wool, small pills or bobbles can form due to friction. This is normal and says nothing about the quality of the cardigan. Use a Gleener fabric shaver to remove them gently, so the knit stays looking neat and well-maintained for longer.
How do you wash the LANIUS cardigan?
Wool does not need to be washed after every wear. Let the cardigan air out thoroughly; often that is enough to refresh it.
If washing is necessary, always follow the care label, choose a cold wool wash cycle, and use a small amount of Lanalicious wool detergent. Do not wring or tumble dry. Gently reshape the cardigan and let it dry flat.

Can I also wear the cardigan as a sweater?
