Product Insights
The Flowy Cable-Knit Cardigan from Contemporaine, priced at 59 CAD and in stock, blends 80% reprocessed viscose with 20% nylon to offer a silk-like drape and breathability while reducing pilling and sagging compared to pure viscose. Its nylon content helps maintain shape after hand washing and flat drying, though machine washing is not guaranteed.
Verified claims
- Care
- Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry; machine washing is not guaranteed.
- Shape recovery
- 20% nylon content helps the knit maintain its shape after hand washing and flat drying.
- Pilling resistance
- Nylon fibers reduce pilling compared to pure viscose, so the knit tends to stay looking cleaner and less fuzzy over multiple washes when hand-washed and flat-dried.
- Durability
- 80% reprocessed viscose, 20% nylon reduces pilling and sagging vs pure viscose.
- Shape retention
- The 20% nylon helps the cardigan resist sagging and stretching out of shape after hand washing and keeps its drape through the day.
- Softness and drape
- Reprocessed viscose blend gives a silk-like drape and breathable feel.
- Breathability
- Open-knit viscose allows air circulation and wicks moisture, keeping skin dry.
- Seasonal weight
- The cardigan is light enough for year-round wear, including cool summer nights and air-conditioned spaces.
- Fit and length
- Buyer feedback includes the cardigan running shorter than expected, ending around the waist rather than the hip, and the sleeves running long for some.

A light layer for chilly offices and patio evenings
Customers reach for this cable-knit cardigan as a lightweight layer against cool indoor air-conditioning and chilly conference rooms. Reviewers also describe wearing it into the evening, taking it from the office to open-air dinners on the patio.[1]
A soft layer for casual outfits and dresses
Reviewers describe throwing this cardigan over a tee and jeans to add a soft, colorful layer that dresses up a simple weekend outfit, and its relaxed fit drapes over thicker fabrics without pulling, making it a favorite for layering over summer dresses. The knit is repeatedly called out as buttery-soft and lightweight for all-day comfort. Note that some reviewers report the body hits above the hip in a cropped silhouette and the sleeves run long, often needing cuffing.[1]
Twin-set styling: worn open over a matching knit top
This cable-knit cardigan is styled open over a matching sleeveless knit top, with the relaxed front panels hanging slightly apart for a layered twin-set look. Note that some customer reviews report the included tank top can fit poorly or may not match the cardigan's exact shade, which can make the set less appealing.[1,2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Flowy Cable-Knit Cardigan: Choose this if you want a soft, lightweight layer for everyday wear — reviewers praise its buttery-smooth knit and relaxed fit that drapes easily over dresses, with enough warmth for chilly offices or evenings. Note that it hits above the hip for a cropped silhouette (shorter than the listing photos suggest) while the sleeves run long, often needing cuffing or rolling. It also requires hand-washing and reshaping to prevent the knit from stretching out, so it suits occasional wear more than grab-and-go use.[1] | Boxy-Fit Cable-Knit Pure Cotton Cardigan: Choose this if you want a breathable, 100% cotton cable-knit layer that works from spring through autumn and, per reviewers, transitions easily from office to weekend and packs lightly for travel. Its intentionally boxy, slightly cropped cut gives a slouchy look most reviewers love, and sizing down is suggested if you're between sizes. Skip it if you want a longer, fitted, or streamlined silhouette — shoppers wanting that were disappointed, the cut can overwhelm smaller frames and feel cropped on taller bodies, and the blue and red shades may differ from the website images.[3] | Fluid-Knit Open-Front Cardigan: Choose this if you want a soft, airy layer for gentle warmth without bulk in air-conditioned rooms, cool evenings, or over a summer dress or sleeveless top, and value a piece that dresses up or down and folds down small for a bag or suitcase. It is a fully open, draped design in a fine knit (reported as 100% recycled viscose) with long sleeves and no visible closures or pockets. Be aware that reviewers report significant shrinkage even with cold-water delicate washing—some suggest hand washing—plus easy wrinkling and sizing that can run small when layering or for broader shoulders.[4,5,6,7] |

Lavender cardigan
Loved- very pretty lavender colour. Perfect fit. Soft cashmere feeling fabric (though made from recycled materials), and lightweight enough for cooler summer days/ evenings. Excellent price point & quality.
Bonne qualité, mais un peu court
En me fiant à la photo, je me serais attendue à ce que le cardigan arrive un peu plus bas sur les hanches, mais il m'arrive juste sous la taille.
Très satisfaite
Tissus parfait
Perfect for spring/ summer!
I was looking to replace an old tank-sweater set and bought this one. It is just perfect! Fits well and true to size.
Beautiful colour and design

Magnifique et doux
Les manches sont un peu trop longues
Cable knit cardigan

Beau chandail
Très beau et léger
Versatile and light enough for year round wear
This sweater is a classic. Current colour and light weight enough to be worn year round with or without the matching tank.
MAGNIFIQUE!
Très jolie ''twinSet'' la couleur est vibrante et le tricot est très doux! Bon achat!

Tissus très doux. Grandeur parfaite
Cardigan.
Je l'aime beaucoup. Cependant j'aurais beaucoup aimé que la camisole de même teinte soit disponible.
Couleur
Très bien, le problème est que la camisole ne fait pas bien
Twin set
Petit duo parfait. J’aime la couleur et le tissu .
Tissus se déforme
Belle couleur, tissus doux et confortable mais se déforme facilement (se relâche et perd sa structure)
Je l’aime
Belle qualité mais j’aimerais qu’il soit 2 pouces plus long, comme l’an passé.
O,k,
Manches du chandail extra longues
Very soft.
True to size and colour. Very soft. Hand wash and reshape.
Nice summer sweater.
Bought this for an upcoming trip. It’s a nice light soft knit. Perfect for cool summer nights or air conditioning. Arm holes are nice and spacious so you can put this on over a dress or a shirt.
