Everyday fall and cold-weather layering
Reviewers describe reaching for this cardigan as daily wear in fall and cold weather, noting the recycled wool feels soft and fuzzy without itch while staying warm enough to wear all day. Its sporty look also suits casual everyday outfits. Be aware that some reviewers found the fit unpredictable, with a body that can run large or small and extra-long, wide sleeves, so it may not deliver a tailored fit in your usual size.[1]
A statement cardigan for autumn outfits

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Recycled Wool Jacquard Cardigan: Choose this if you want a warm, soft-against-skin wool cardigan for fall and cold-weather daily wear: it is made of 100% reprocessed lambswool, and customer feedback describes the recycled wool as fuzzy without itch and genuinely warm, with the sheep jacquard and fall color combinations making it an eye-catching statement piece. Be aware that the fit runs inconsistent—some reviewers sized down while others sized up—and the sleeves are extra long and wide, so check sizing carefully. Note also that the women's version lacks the reinforcing strips under buttons and buttonholes found on the men's version, which may reduce long-term durability.[1] | Metallic Buttons Jacquard Cardigan: Choose this if you want a thick, stretchy jacquard cardigan with statement gold buttons and patch pockets that dresses up jeans or works as a polished office layer over dresses and skirts. It has a tailored, true-to-size regular fit, removable sewn shoulder pads, and a forest-conscious LENZING ECOVERO viscose blend. Note it's a soft sweater knit, not a structured blazer, and reviewers report the blue colorway has green undertones not obvious in photos.[2,3] | Stretch Polka-Dotted Jacquard Cardigan: Choose this if you want a patterned knit layer in a relaxed, boxy fit — the supple stretch jacquard knit is covered in all-over white polka dots with long sleeves, a ribbed crew neck, and ribbed hem and cuffs in the same yarn. The hip-length front closes with large covered buttons down the center placket. It comes in two sizes (size 1 fits small and medium, size 2 fits medium and large) and is made of 45% viscose, 30% polyamide, and 25% polyester.[4,5,6,7,8] |

Baah Lamb Cardy
Loved this cardigan on first sight. Purchased a Medium which I am returning for a Small, which has now arrived and fits very well. Great wool quality. So pretty.
Great cardigan
I've worn this for about a month. It seems like it's great quality but most importantly, it's adorable, fuzzy without being at all itchy, and super cozy and warm.

Le cardigan
J'aime tout!
Cute
For every day nice sporty look. pricey,
Sold out before I could replace
I loved the sweater, but it was too big for me. I was very disappointed that the cardigan sold out and product was discontinued before I could purchase a replacement in a smaller size.
Generous fit
Really liked the quality and design of this sweater but I found it very generous in the sleeves and body. Will need to return for a smaller size
Merveilleux cardigan
Chaud, confortable et la couleur que j’aime avec les moutons trop mignons.
Satisfaite
Confortable, belle pièce à ajouter à la garde-robe pour le temp froid. J'aurais toutefois pris une taille de plus .
Sleeves
The pattern is lovely and the body of the sweater fit fine. The sleeves however were extra long and far too wide.
Cozy Sheep Cardigan
The perfect cardigan for the fall!! The colour combo are all the colours I love in fall sweaters. The highlight of course is the rows of sheep.
Lovely wool sweater
Very lovely wool sweater. Would have given it 5 stars but the men’s versions of these sweaters are better made with reinforcing strips under the buttons and under the button holes. Curious as to why not on women’s sweaters.
