Pretty Organic Cotton Cardigans (for chilly days)
These cardigans instead are laundered safely, last for longer (as fibres are not treated by chemicals) and keep you safe on England’s chilly days and summer evenings!
Organic cotton is better for the planet, and also the fibres last longer, as they have not been treated by chemicals. They are also safely laundered, without releasing microplastics in the washing machine.
For any items containing recycled polyester or elastane, launder in a microfibre filter (or just buy the 100% natural fabrics, far simpler!)
Donate unwanted clothing to small charity shops (not big ones that test on animals). Recycle damaged/stained clothing at textile banks (it’s shredded into insulation and other goods).

Cardigan knitting patterns (for plant-based yarns)
Textured jacquard knitting pattern
Not so long ago, most clothes shops would sell nice knitted and pretty patterned cardigans. Now, as well as most being made from polyester, you’re lucky to find any that even look nice.
Most are just shapeless ‘bags’ in dreary colours. Which has led many people to take up knitting, to make their own.
