About

A coat-weight wrap cardigan in 100% merino wool with a self-tie waist, worn open or belted. Wool this heavy is usually cut with nylon or acrylic to hold its shape; this one is not, so it breathes and takes a wash instead of pilling into plastic. Knitted in Seoul, in oatmeal.

Materials

100% merino wool, knitted in Seoul, Korea. Hand wash cold, lay flat to dry. A single animal fibre with no nylon carrier yarn, which is what most mid-weight cardigans at this price add for durability.

what it is made of

The Wrap Cardigan is made entirely of merino wool. Merino wool is fine enough to feel soft, regulates temperature without synthetic finishes. That composition is what Toxome scores, and it earns 90 out of 100 on the fiber scale, where 100 is cleanest.

FAQ

What is the Wrap Cardigan made of?

It is 100% merino wool.

Is merino wool safe to wear?

Merino wool is fine enough to feel soft, regulates temperature without synthetic finishes. Toxome rates every fiber on what it does to the body of the person wearing it, and publishes the reasoning rather than a badge. The score covers the fiber, not the dyes and finishes a mill adds later.

How does Toxome score clothing?

Toxome reads each garment's fiber composition and scores it on what that fiber does to your body, not on a brand's sustainability marketing. A higher score means a cleaner fiber. Composition is taken from what the brand publishes, so the score reflects the label rather than our opinion of it.
