Sugar Cardigan

About this find

The Sugar Cardigan from Outdoor Voices is a lightweight knit made from soft cotton cashmere. It carries a hand-embroidered OV signature, a small detail that gives the piece a personal touch. The fabric is labeled lightweight, soft and breathable, which makes it a comfortable layer to reach for when the day warms up and cools down.

The full blend is 84% cotton, 14% cashmere, 4% nylon and 1% spandex. Cotton makes up most of the knit, while the cashmere adds the soft feel. The small amount of spandex gives the fabric a touch of stretch. Together, these fibers create a cardigan that stays light rather than heavy or bulky.

A cardigan like this works well over a plain tee or a simple dress. Wear it open on cooler evenings and slip it off when the room heats up. Toss it in a bag if you expect the temperature to swing during the day. It is easy to carry along.

To care for it, hand wash cold and dry it flat. Do not tumble dry. Use a low iron only if the knit needs smoothing, or have it dry cleaned if you prefer. Since the fabric is light, keep it folded in a drawer instead of hanging it on a hook.
