Emmeline Cardigan

This spruce cardigan features a chunky, open-stitch knit flecked with metallic gold fibers that catch the light against a deep, cool-toned base. The cut is boxy and cropped, hitting right at the waistline with a clean, ribbed finish at the cuffs and hem that keeps the silhouette contained. It leans into a relaxed, mid-century collegiate mood, functioning best as a singular layer buttoned up against the skin.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The composition is primarily petroleum-based synthetics (50% acrylic, 25% nylon, 20% polyester), which offer poor breathability and a high potential for trapping sweat against the skin. The inclusion of metallic fibers and a high synthetic-to-natural fiber ratio increases the risk of skin irritation and microplastic exposure.
