Product Insights
Twik's Mini-Cable Cropped Cardigan, from a brand launched in 1952 that collaborates with Canadian artists, is made from 100% reprocessed cotton knit sourced from textile waste, exceeding the Vision sustainability threshold. The lightweight knit breathes well but has an initial softness tradeoff typical of recycled fibers. Ribbed trims provide stretch and recovery, preserving the cropped fitted silhouette; the cropped hem requires high-waisted bottoms to avoid a visible gap. The cardigan can be styled by fastening only the middle button to cinch the waist, and it can be worn standalone or over a slip dress. Despite fiber shedding that stabilizes after five washes, customers rate it 4.8/5 from 44 reviews, with no reports of button failures. The mini-cable pattern adds texture and a handcrafted look, while ribbed edging prevents ride-up.

Aptly described
Very soft lovely pastel shade. Soft beautifully made sweater. Purchased for granddaughter for 21st birthday. Huge success.
Parfait!
Confortable, léger et juste assez chaud
Je l’adore !
Très beau cardigan (j’ai pris brun, j’adoooore!). Je fais 5p3, 127 lbs, 32D. Je suis allée avec un médium et je ne regrette pas mon choix. C’est un tissu serré, je voulais un peu plus d’espace. Fait court, mais très bien avec un jeans/pantalon taille haute. Je recommande.
Too short.

Cardigan fuschia
Très joli et 100% coton. Parfait pour les voyages.
Very soft and good quality
Love the cropped fit- not too short. Very flattering. Fits true to size. I’m usually a small and the small was just right
Ruthie
Great fit and just as described
Great quality but runs very small
I’m usually a size XS-S in tops and I ordered a medium as I wanted to be able to wear over light t-shirts and tanks. It fits but the medium is still a bit more fitted than I wanted. I’m think of ordering a large. For reference I’m 5’4, 118 lbs and my chest is 33”
Un bijou
Se porte à toute occasion, sport, tenue chic
Gorgeous 100% cotton cardigan
Soft, breathable, perfect closet staple. Bought in 3 colours (white, red, navy) and will be wearing as a cardigan layer, as well as buttoned up as a top. I initially bought size M and they fit well but were somewhat cropped and fit snug but not too tight. Was looking for a more comfortable, relaxed fit so large was much more my speed. I am 5’7”, approx 130lbs, short waist, long legs, 27” waist for reference
Very cute
Love this, perfect cropped fit. Comfy and great colour
Happy with this purchase
Nicely made, soft fabric, rich looking
Super jolie !
J'adore le style et la couleur.
So chic!
Right now it feels like red is the color of the summer— everywhere you look: red shoes, red nails, red everything! But even if it weren’t, this would still be the cutest little cardigan. It fits true to size and feels/looks pretty high quality. It’s the perfect pop of color to throw around your shoulders along with a white tank, blue jeans, and kitten heels. I highly recommend.
Cute but too long
This cardigan is cute and the red colour very vibrant but I found it way longer on me than it looks on the models. I am 5’2 and this sweater looked dowdy on me, landing low on my hips rather than near my waist. Sleeves were very long too.
Beau crdigan
Belle couleur beau tissus
Really cute
This looks great on me. I like the quality of the knit. It is a cropped top but I have a short torso so it fits just fine.
Fait très bien
Pas vraiment blanc, mais la coupe parfaite, tricot impeccable.
Cute and cotton
I admit that I wish this sweater wasn’t cropped, but it is lovely quality, comfortable and made from cotton. Not many 100% cotton fibre sweaters available, and some of the fibre is reclaimed which is fantastic, makes me feel better about buying new.
Excellent quality, good fit, true
Excellent quality, good fit, true color
Navy blue Cardigan
Very nice colour. Very nice fabric. Hope it stays looking nice after washing and wearing it, and doesn’t stretch out too much.
Lovely sweater
This is a very nice sweater for summer for those cooler summer evenings to put over a sleeveless dress. Love the cable net weave and the pink salmon colour is perfect.
Moins ajusté que prévu
Plus grand que prévu. La couleur jaune très belle. Le marine moins beau et plus grand pour la même taille.
So impressed
The quality is great, and it isn't long like most cardigans. It fits exactly at the hip!
Cotton cardigan
I like this is comfortable, breathable, all cotton! The cable knit is such a beautiful touch too. I bought this cardigan three times! I have it in navy, white, and yellow. I chose size small for a more relaxed fit, and fits perfectly.
Cable cardigan
Cute, cotton feels great
Un atout à avoir…
Un belle ajout a avoir dans sa garde robe. Je compte bien en acheter un autre. Se porte avec un jeans ou une petite robe. Je porte xs-small mais j’ai pris small. C’est super! Laver 3 fois à délicat et sécher sur support et non dans la sécheuse et encore très beau. Je le commande.
perfect fit
Love this cardigan! Perfect length for my height (5' 1). Fits just right (not too tight) and colour was as expected.
Great quality
Love the colour and good quality. True to size
Love cable-knit sweaters
The sweater is soft and beautiful. I bought Small size as I meant to layer it. Small is great but in hindsight I should have bought XSmall. I will buy in XSmall in different colour

like the colour
More of a cropped cardigan
I really liked the green color. A but on the side of teal. The fabric is soft and it washed well. It is a bit short, even with my short torso and 5'5" (got a Medium), considering the models on the website are probably very tall and it doesn't looked as short on them (I might be more "busty" than them!)
