Every wardrobe needs a classic cardigan. Revisit this staple garment in beautiful simplicity; you’ll want a stack of one in every color.

Yarn
Border Mill North Coast Tweed 4-Ply
100% Shetland Wool, 392 yd (358 m) per 100 gram skein, colorway Isle of Ewe used for the longer version sample shown.

Uist Wool Las
100% Wool, 180 yd (165 m) per 50 g skein,
colorway Corca used for the shorter version sample shown.

The two yarns used for these samples are slightly grabby, 100% wool yarns, but don’t let that be a restriction on your yarn choices. Fingering weights with a wool-heavy blend or primary fiber that will add structure are best--avoid anything with too much drape, stretch or slinkiness as it will sag out of shape. Seek something sturdy!
