Material
Laxtons, a spinner based in Yorkshire, create fully traceable British wool. They are members of the British Wool Association and the Soil Association, have a Woolmark and are Campaign for Wool supporters.
This yarn is a blend of premium British fleeces finished within a 50 mile radius of the spinner. We use the wool in a factory in the Leicester area meaning the entire process, from fleece to finished jumper, is kept in the UK. End to end British wool.

Care
Washing Instructions
Hand Wash only
When washing by hand, avoid twisting or wringing as this may damage the wool. Do not use fabric conditioner when washing. To remove excess water from the garment we recommend wrapping it in a towel and gently squeezing it before leaving the item to dry. Do not put on a spin cycle. Lay the product out flat to dry, do not hang your wool garments. Allow to dry naturally away from all artificial heat sources.
Care & Cleaning Products
Pilling
Clothing made from natural fibres can occasionally 'pill'. These little balls of fibre or 'pills' are created as the smaller fibres in the twist of yarn naturally shed with wear. This will lessen as you wash and wear your garment. Until then, they can be gently removed with our Pilling Comb.

Write a reviewReally disappointed in the wearability of this item. If you're going to buy one then don't forget to budget extra for an electronic defuzzer thing since you're going to need it.
Thank you for your feedback regarding the pilling on this jumper which we will pass on to the product team. Pilling occurs more commonly in natural fibres and where they have not been chemically treated to prevent it. Regular de-pilling using either a comb or electric de-fuzzer will help to prevent this and help maintain the garment looking its best. Kind regards Celtic & Co
So happy to buy a totally British product with little environmental impact( & none from the dying process, as I bought the natural taupe colour.) I have been wearing this cardigan through the winter so now feel I can give a measured opinion. If I am truthful it does bobble a little , but I collect the bits (which will be used in my needle felting craft or as nesting material for the birds, because it is SAFE). I wear this frequently as a very cosy extra layer over all colours of polo-necked jumpers, as I feel the cold and am delighted to have an easy zipper fastening. I have only washed it once by hand as I want to take care of it, but I believe it is possible to machine wash on a programme intended for such garments.It's easy to spot clean and has been rain resistant when I was caught out in drizzle, being natural wool.
I am so disappointed. It is a lovely colour and feels soft and comfortable. However it began to pill after wearing it for a couple of hours on day 1, and after a second day it is really obvious. As previously mentioned in reviews, the zip is also disappointing - doesn't engage and slide easily. It was a lot of money to spend on something that looks badly pilled after 2 days. You have told me to comb it and that it will improve with time. This will have to be every occasion I wear it. I am left wondering how long it will take to improve?
Good morning thank you for your feedback, we will contact you direct to arrange having the item sent back to us for inspection. Kind regards Celtic & Co
Lovely colour and cardigan but as several people have already commented the bobbling after only 1 or 2 wears is appalling

Maybe slightly short, but otherwise good fit. Looks lovely, like zip. Only worn it a couple of times so far so not experienced undue bobbling as experienced by others (but prepared!)
This is a lovely cardigan, but goodness, it pills very badly. I’m forever pulling the little bobbles off. I’m hoping that it will eventually stop, but it’s annoying to have to keep de pilling it before I wear it.

I loved this cardigan when it arrived but after only a few wears it has pilled dreadfully and looks old and shabby. I have tried using a pilling comb but to no avail. Dissapointed.
This cardigan feels soft and relaxed. I bought an xs (normally s) as previous reviews suggested it came large - they were right! I am bothered by the zip which feels definitely ‘flakey’ not sliding easily but has a tendency to stick. Disappointing as the garment is not cheap. Seems a shame to spoil beautiful knitwear with a substandard zip. The cardigan is a thin knit rather than chunky - I am not as happy with it as I hoped. But I like it enough to keep it …so may learn to love it ..who knows.
My husband bought this for me for my birthday. It is a very attractive cardigan and is lovely and warm. However after only a few wears it is pilling really badly which makes it look shabby and not good enough to wear out. Also the sleeves have stretched out alot so are now very baggy. I think the wool is too fluffy for a cardigan. Considering the price I think this is not good enough.
Thank you for your comments. I am sorry to hear you are unhappy with how your cardigan is wearing, please contact our customer service team directly so we can look in to this further for you. Many thanks, Celtic & Co
Lovely cosy cardigan. I love the zip front which makes it a little different. The only downside is that it bobbles a bit.
