Sustainable Cardigan Design with AI

Sustainable fashion favours natural or recycled fibres, fewer chemicals and garments built to last.

For a sustainable cardigan, ask for linen knit (200 to 300 g/m²) or cotton knit (250 to 400 g/m²).

Making a sustainable cardigan

Pieces are cut to waste little cloth, sewn to be repaired, and labelled with what they are made of and where.

Look for organic or recycled cotton, linen, wool and certified fibres, undyed or dyed with low-impact processes.

Cloths that suit a sustainable cardigan

Linen knit
200 to 300 g/m², common
Cotton knit
250 to 400 g/m², common
Wool knit
250 to 500 g/m², a classic pairing
Interlock jersey
220 to 300 g/m², common

Typical trade ranges, not one mill's figures: confirm them with your mill.
