A new take on Olann’s signature cardigan. Knit using a mohair and wool mixed yarn, with just a little nylon for strength, this new fluffy version of Haven is so light, lofty and squishy. Perfect for summer evenings and transitions between season’s, the mohair feels like wearing a cloud. It drapes beautifully, and isn’t heavy or dense, so it is the perfect companion to throw on in the evening when it’s a little chilly.

Just like the original Haven, it has a generous sleeve, which is wide enough to fit another finer garment underneath. Haven has great directional stitching details that create a flattering silhouette, with lovely textured stitches down the sides to add interest. This cardigan is open at the front, without buttons. I recommend Haven over dresses, jumpsuits, blouses and pants.

Mohair wool does tend to shed a little when first worn, so I do advise wearing your mohair cardigan over similarly coloured clothing to avoid the hairs being too visible. But it’s nothing that a light pat down, brush off, or shake won’t fix!

A Note on Fit

The fit of the Mohair Haven is a little different than the original Merino Wool version. The Standard length of the Mohair Haven naturally falls longer than the original, and so there are two lengths available in the Mohair Haven. The Cropped length more closely matches the length of the original Merino Wool version. You can also choose 3/4 sleeves or bracelet length sleeves at checkout.

For reference the Periwinkle images show the Cropped Body Length with 3/4 length sleeve and the Cream images show the Standard Body Length with a Bracelet length sleeve. Erica stands 5’ 8” tall.

Currently available in 3 colours: Periwinkle, Cream and Brown.
