Women's Cardigans

Gauge counts the needles per inch on the knitting machine, so it describes how fine or chunky the knit is, and a higher number means finer yarn and a smoother, denser fabric. A 12-gauge cardigan is lightweight and smooth, the standard for merino and cashmere basics, and layers under a jacket. A 7-gauge knit is the mid-weight everyday option. A 3 to 5-gauge knit is thick and heavily insulating, worn as outerwear.

Pills form where fibres rub, so they show first under the arms, along the sides and wherever a bag strap sits. Yarn spun from longer fibres pills less, which is why cashmere quality varies so much at the same weight. Wash inside out on a cool wool cycle or by hand, dry flat, and fold rather than hang so the shoulders keep their line. Remove pills with a cashmere comb or fabric shaver instead of pulling them off.
