The Knitwear Collection from Hawes & Curtis offers many choices in colours and styles to keep you warm, no matter where your day may take you.

Merino Wool
The Knitwear collection from Hawes & Curtis is superbly crafted from the finest pure merino wool. Merino wool comes from a specific breed of sheep that is coveted especially for its wool. This wool was popular in the middle ages and is still regarded today as being the softest and finest wool of any of the sheep breeds. Merino wool is known world-wide for being soft, due to its smoother scales and finer fibers. It is also finely crimped. It is an excellent textile for wearing against the skin and regulating body temperature. It gives warmth without causing the wearer to overheat. In addition, it keeps moisture, or sweat, away from the skin. Merino wool is somewhat moisture repellent and helps the wearer to avoid feeling clammy. As opposed to cotton, wool retains heat when it is wet. Other benefits of this fine wool include antibacterial properties and a high warmth-to-weight ratio.

Colours and Styles
Traditional colours in the knitwear collection include blue, grey and pink. Modern women might prefer the blackberry, raspberry pink, coral, or citrine color selections. There are also several styles to choose from. V-neck women's jumpers are a classic addition to any blouse with their ribbed neckline, cuffs and hem. They can also be worn alone. The luxurious V-neck cardigan is a splendid addition to any wardrobe and can be easily taken off and on as needed. The ladies V-neck sleeveless jumper is lightweight, featuring ribbed detailing on the neckline and hem.

The Hawes & Curtis heritage is combined with today’s modern style to create these fine ladies’ jumpers and cardigans for women. Made with 100 percent Italian Merino wool, this prestigious collection of cardigans and jumpers will have a spot in every refined woman’s wardrobe.
