Frida Chunky Knit Cardigan, Midnight Navy

Knitted in London from 100% supersoft Aberdeenshire lambswool, the Frida Cardigan has the feminine, true boxy fit your wardrobe has been searching for. The deep sea navy body plays off a soft pink contrast stitch for a whimsical take on a classic nautical look. Naturally thermoregulating, light yet cosy, it feels like a long-time favourite from the very first wear.

Thoughtful design details include balloon sleeves with pinched cuffs, hand-finished leaf motifs, a relaxed dropped shoulder and a tubular neckline with a double-thickness placket for durability. Natural, colour-matched biodegradable Corozo buttons add playful charm while keeping the look seamless on the eye, and subtle textured stitches add depth and dimension, bringing cosy tactility to your outfit.

Versatile by design, the Frida Cardigan works just as well worn open over Saywood favourites like our Etta Dress and Marie Blouse or buttoned up for a jumper-like look. As with many Saywood pieces, it’s effortlessly adaptable, making it a guaranteed wardrobe-elevating essential.

Clothing Care | Wash less, love always

As a humble natural fibre, wool is prone to pilling, but it is easily removed with a gentle comb. Once it has pilled, good quality wool won’t pill again, and only minutely. We recommend storing in an airtight bag when not in regular use to protect against moths.

Wool is naturally odour-resistant and shouldn’t need to be washed more than once a season when aired regularly. Spot clean marks by lightly brushing, or with a gentle wool detergent, and when it does need a wash, follow our care advice:

- Cold handwash or dry clean only
- Low iron
- Do not bleach
- Do not tumble dry
- Use gentle wool detergent only
- Reshape whilst damp
- Dry flat away from direct sunlight and heat

Sustainably crafted with care for you and our planet.

Our Frida Cardigan is crafted from 100% supersoft lambswool, spun in Aberdeenshire at a family-run heritage mill that has been perfecting its craft since 1798. Using traditional machines over 50 years old, the yarn is ring-spun to create its heathered tones – a natural colour variance that gives each piece depth, character and nuance.

Wool itself is one of nature’s cleverest fibres: biodegradable, regenerative and naturally breathable. It’s thermoregulating, keeping your body at just the right temperature, and odour-resistant too, meaning it needs less frequent washing. Less washing means less water – kinder to the planet, and to your knitwear.

Each Frida Cardigan is expertly knitted in London by Knitster, just a stone’s throw from Saywood HQ, a small, female-founded factory with only five knitting machines.

Each sleeve takes 20 minutes to knit and is carefully finished by hand to create the unique 3D leaf detail, making this truly slow fashion. We’ve used corozo - known as vegetable ivory - for our buttons, as it comes from a nut found in South America, which can only be harvested once it naturally falls to the ground, making it a more sustainable choice.

Expertly designed and made in limited runs, every piece is as thoughtful as it is timeless.
