Is wool good for spring?
There’s a long-standing assumption that wool belongs firmly to winter. Thick coats, heavy knits, something to be packed away as soon as the days start to feel lighter. But when I began thinking seriously about creating a cardigan for spring, that assumption was the first thing I questioned.
Spring dressing has always felt slightly unresolved to me. Mornings can be cool, afternoons warm, evenings unpredictable. Too often, the options feel limited to flimsy layers that offer little substance, or heavier pieces that feel out of place once the sun comes out. I wanted to create something that sat comfortably in that in-between space. That’s where wool came in.
Can you wear wool in spring?
Wool, when it’s lightweight and finely knitted, behaves very differently from the version most people imagine. It’s naturally breathable and temperature-regulating, meaning it works with your body rather than against it. Instead of trapping heat, it adjusts — keeping you warm when there’s a chill in the air and remaining comfortable as the day warms up. This adaptability makes it uniquely suited to transitional dressing.
There’s also longevity to consider. Wool holds its shape beautifully over time. It doesn’t lose structure after a few wears, and it resists odour in a way synthetic fibres simply don’t. These are qualities that matter when you’re thinking beyond a single season. I wasn’t interested in creating a cardigan that would feel dated or worn out by the end of summer. I wanted something that would continue to earn its place in a wardrobe.
Texture and drape were just as important as practicality. I wanted the cardigan to fall softly, to move with the body rather than sit stiffly on it. Fine-gauge wool allows for that ease. It looks polished without feeling precious, relaxed without feeling careless. It’s the kind of fabric that elevates even the simplest outfit.
As I worked through samples, I kept returning to the same idea: effortlessness. Not the kind that feels accidental, but the kind that comes from thoughtful choices. Wool supports that feeling. It doesn’t shout for attention. It simply does its job well.
Is wool too warm for summer?
There’s also something quietly reassuring about wearing natural fibres. In a world where so much clothing is produced quickly and worn briefly, wool represents a slower approach. It asks to be cared for, worn repeatedly, and appreciated over time. That mindset aligns with how I want this brand to grow — intentionally, without excess.
This cardigan wasn’t designed to sit neatly within a seasonal box. It’s meant to be worn open on warmer days, layered lightly when the temperature drops, or thrown over bare skin on evenings that cool unexpectedly. It adapts, just like spring itself.
Choosing wool wasn’t about tradition or luxury as a statement. It was about choosing a fabric that supports a modern way of dressing — one that values versatility, longevity, and ease. A piece that doesn’t need to be justified every time you reach for it.
This cardigan is part of my first curated edit. It exists because it solves a problem I kept encountering, and because it felt right to begin here.
