| How to wear cable knit:

The cable stitch is most often found in cable knit sweaters, throw blankets, and pillows. Cable knits can be made in a wide range of weights, for lightweight summer cardigans, or chunky heavyweight sweaters for winter, making it truly seasonless.

Most cotton cable knits are robust fabrics and that are easy to care for at home.
