MADNESS wool cardigan BO BLUE in pure slub wool

The BO BLUE cardigan by MADNESS is the kind of piece you'll find yourself reaching for the moment the weather turns chilly. It is knitted from 100% organic wool and has a wonderfully soft, cozy feel. The deep blue color is timeless, yet the unique structure of the knit makes this cardigan anything but boring.

The yarn has a characteristic slub structure: some parts are intentionally spun thicker and others thinner. This gives the cardigan a lively, slightly irregular surface with an artisanal feel. It isn't a sleek, smooth knit, but rather a soft cardigan full of character.

What is slub wool?

Slub wool is spun with deliberate variations in thickness. This creates thicker and thinner sections in the yarn that form a playful texture once knitted. These natural irregularities are inherent to the material and make every cardigan slightly different.

Soft wool cardigan with a round neck

The BO cardigan features a classic round neckline, long sleeves, and a button closure at the front. You can wear it open over a top or blouse, or buttoned up completely to wear as a sweater. The knitted ribbing along the neck, button placket, and hem provides a beautiful finish.

How to style the BO BLUE cardigan?

The deep blue color pairs easily with denim, beige, green, burgundy, brown, and colorful prints. Wear the cardigan open over a blouse or long-sleeve top, or button it up over jeans, a skirt, or wide-leg trousers. Thanks to its rich texture, the BO adds something special to even the simplest outfit.

Can a wool cardigan pill?

With soft wool, friction can cause small fuzz or pills to form. This is normal and does not reflect the quality of the cardigan. Use a Gleener fabric shaver to gently remove them and keep the knit looking neat. Always treat the slub structure carefully and without pulling hard.

How do you wash the organic wool BO cardigan?

Wool does not need to be washed after every wear. Allow the cardigan to air out thoroughly first; this is often enough to freshen it up.

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 overfill the machine and remove the cardigan immediately once the cycle is finished. Do not wring or tumble dry; instead, gently reshape and lay flat to dry.
