The Porcelain Cardigan

€320,00
Size

Designed in Leitrim and knit in Kilcar, Donegal, this cardigan is crafted from a rare blend of merino, cashmere and mohair, dyed and spun locally in Donegal. Soft, luminous and quietly refined, it sits somewhere between knitwear and keepsake.

Reimagined in a warm ecru, with a deep burgundy cuff, this piece carries a softness that feels almost ceremonial. The pale tone reveals every movement of the Aran stitches, each cable and rope standing proud, like something preserved, or passed down. There is a stillness to it, a sense of occasion without effort.

Cropped and gently fitted, it holds the body lightly while maintaining structure. The handle is cloud-soft yet substantial, offering warmth without weight. Finished with individually hand-painted porcelain buttons, each one slightly unique, it leans into the language of heirlooms, pieces made slowly, to be kept.

This is knitwear that can move easily from everyday to something more significant. Worn simply with denim, or layered over a dress, it carries a quiet elegance that feels especially suited to marking moments.

Pearl is 5ft8, UK 8, and wears size small.

Product Care

The great thing about merino wool knitwear is that it requires far less washing than synthetic fibres. Merino wool is breathable and self cleaning. Airing your knitwear on a crisp, breezy day is enough for the wool to neutralise and feel fresh again. Wool is naturally dirt repellent. Even liquid dirt finds it hard to penetrate the fibre, but rather stays on the surface, where once dry, it can be brushed off easily. Wool is also able to bind and neutralise sweat and is naturally resistant to odours, making it ideal for multiple wears. So, if your knitwear isn’t physically dirty, there is no rush to wash it! If there is a small mark, a spot clean will do the job. The less you wash it, the longer your wool will last.

If you do need to wash your knits, Pearl recommends hand washing with care:

  • Use warm water and mix it with a gentle wool detergent.
  • Submerge the garment and soak it for 10-15 minutes.
  • Carefully rinse the garment in warm water.
  • Press or roll in a clean, dry towel to remove as much water as possible. Do not wring it.
  • Never tumble dry pure wool.
  • Place it flat on a dry towel, keep it away from sunlight and let it air-dry. Avoid any creases or wrinkles by straightening out while damp. Wool will dry in the shape it is placed in.
  • If your washing machine has a good delicate programme, you can machine wash in cold water before drying as detailed above.

** Please note: do NOT wash any pompoms in the washing machine, unless you want to see your fluffy head topper turn into a squidgy felt pebble forever. **
