TRANQUILLO cardigan LINA – organic cotton for autumn and winter
One of those cardigans you later think: why didn't I buy this in several 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 when you love to layer but aren't always in the mood for a thick wool sweater.
The subtle scalloped edge along the deep V-neck and button placket makes LINA just a bit more special than an ordinary basic cardigan. Wear it open over a long-sleeved shirt or camisole, fully buttoned up as a dainty sweater, or as an extra layer under a coat. 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 really 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 have a fuller bust? If you're 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 heavy, thick sweater every single day during 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-sleeved shirt or blouse, and as soon as it gets really cold, wear it under your winter coat. It’s also a lovely piece to wear indoors when you want just a little extra warmth without disappearing into a thick knit.
And because you can button it all the way up, 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 exactly what makes LINA so useful for layering. On cold days, combine it with a thin wool or wool-silk undershirt, and you can decide for yourself how much warmth you need.
How do you style cardigan LINA in the autumn?
This cardigan practically calls for autumn colors. Combine it with corduroy, denim, wool trousers, or a long skirt, and you're good to go. 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 tucked into high-waisted trousers. 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 loosen up or stretch slightly while being worn. 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 cycle. After washing, gently pull the cardigan back into its original shape and let it dry flat. Preferably don't put it in the dryer.
It’s also best to store a knitted cardigan folded in your closet. Hanging it on a coat hanger for a long time can cause it to stretch at the shoulders or in length due to its own weight.
What should you watch out for with fine-knit cotton?
The knit of LINA is beautifully fine, so we want to give you one final warning: be careful with snags. Jewelry, zippers, bags, and other sharp edges can pull a loop out of the knit.
Therefore, try not to wash the cardigan together with garments that have open zippers, Velcro, or, for example, bra hooks. Being gentle with your knitwear makes a huge difference in how long it stays beautiful.
