Ladies Merino Cashmere Blanket Stitch Dress

This ladies merino cashmere blanket stitch knitted dress features a collared neckline, A-line midi skirt and fabric wrapped buttons.

Crafted from a sumptuously soft merino wool with 20% cashmere, this dress is insulating yet light weight and drapes beautifully on any figure. Merino is naturally breathable and temperature-regulating; cashmere adds a fineness and softness that makes the dress genuinely comfortable against the skin throughout the day. The collar and buttoned neckline give the piece a more structured, shirt-dress quality and the full A-line skirt from the fitted bodice creates a silhouette that works well across a range of occasions. Finished with contrast stitching at the hem and button placket, alongside fabric wrapped buttons, this piece maintains a sophisticated silhouette with subtle textural details.

About Merino Wool

Known as the softest of all wools, merino is sourced from merino sheep, a breed which originated in mediaeval Spain. The fineness of wool is measured in microns, with typical thicknesses of 29 to 35 microns. Merino is usually 22 microns thick and can be much finer, explaining its sublimely soft handle. It's also a superb insulator, often used in high-performance layers for outdoor sports.
