TRANQUILLO cardigan LINA – organic cotton for autumn and winter
That one cardigan where you think afterwards: why didn't I buy this in multiple colors right away? LINA by TRANQUILLO is a wonderfully fine-knit cardigan made of 100% organic cotton. Soft, feminine, and ideal for autumn and winter if you like layering but don't always feel like wearing a thick wool sweater.
The subtle scalloped edge along the deep V-neck and button placket makes LINA just a bit more special than a standard basic cardigan. Wear it open over a long-sleeve top or camisole, fully buttoned up as a fine sweater, or under a coat as an extra layer. Exactly the kind of cardigan you'll reach for again and again from the first crisp autumn days well into winter.
And yes: we have LINA in multiple colors. Because with such an easy autumn and winter basic, one color is just not enough.

How does the TRANQUILLO cardigan LINA fit?
LINA fits true to size. So just choose the size you normally wear. The cardigan follows your body nicely without being too tight, and the wide ribbed hem creates a feminine shape.
Do you want to wear it mostly buttoned up as a sweater and do you have a fuller bust? Then, if in doubt, you can choose the larger size so that the button placket remains smooth.
Why is LINA such a great cardigan for autumn and winter?
Because you don't need a huge, thick sweater every day in the colder months. Sometimes you just want a nice layer that you can easily put on and take off. LINA is perfect for that.
Wear it in the autumn over a long-sleeve top or blouse, and once it gets really cold, just wear it under your winter coat. It’s also a lovely cardigan to wear indoors when you just want a little extra warmth without disappearing into a thick knit.
And because you can button it up completely, LINA works just as well as a fine-knit cotton sweater.
Is this cardigan suitable if you prefer not to wear wool?
Absolutely. LINA consists of 100% organic cotton and contains no wool. This makes it a great alternative for those who don't like wool, are prone to itching, or simply like to alternate between wool and cotton knits.
Cotton is less insulating than wool, but that's precisely what makes LINA so convenient for layering. On cold days, combine it with a thin wool or wool-silk camisole underneath, and you can decide for yourself how much warmth you need.
How to style cardigan LINA in the autumn?
This cardigan practically begs for autumn colors. Pair it with corduroy, denim, wool trousers, or a long skirt, and you're all set. The deeper colors of LINA, in particular, look beautiful with brown, burgundy, taupe, navy, and ecru.
Also very cute: wear it buttoned up as a top with high-waisted pants. Thanks to the V-neck and the small decorative trim, it looks much more feminine than a regular cotton sweater.
How do you care for a knitted cotton cardigan?
Knitted cotton requires just a little bit of attention. It may become a bit wider or sag slightly while wearing. That is a normal characteristic of cotton knits.
Wash LINA inside out at a maximum of 30 degrees with a mild detergent and a low spin speed. After washing, gently pull the cardigan back into its original shape and lay it flat to dry. It's better not to put it in the dryer.
It is also best to store a knitted cardigan folded in the closet. When hung on a hanger for a long time, its own weight can cause it to stretch out at the shoulders or in length.
What should you watch out for with fine-knit cotton?
The knit of LINA is beautifully fine, so we'd like to give you one final warning: watch out for snags. Jewelry, zippers, bags, and other sharp edges can pull a loop out of the knit.
Therefore, it is better not to wash the cardigan together with garments that have open zippers, Velcro, or bra hooks, for example. Being a little gentle with your knits really makes a huge difference in how long they stay looking beautiful.
