Cable Knit Cardigan — The Hawthorn by LILYSILK x Lydia Millen
A Cable Knit Cardigan unlike any other: the Hawthorn elevates a heritage stitch into rarefied territory with pure baby cashmere — the softest, most exclusive cashmere yarn on earth, harvested from Inner Mongolia goat kids under 12 months old at an astonishing 14.5-micron fineness. Sculptural cables run the length of the body, pearl buttons catch the light, and a cropped waist hem delivers modern, flattering proportions.
Why This Cable Knit Cardigan Stands Out
- The rarest fiber: Baby cashmere from goat kids under 12 months, 14.5 microns
- Sculptural cables: Vertical knit texture with depth and dimension
- Pearl button placket: Luminous, refined front closure
- Cropped waist length: Contemporary proportions that pair with everything
- Featherlight warmth: Incredible softness without weight
- Exclusive collaboration: LILYSILK x Lydia Millen — limited and intimate
Who Should Wear This Cable Knit Cardigan?
This cable knit cardigan is for the connoisseur of fine knits — the woman who’d rather own one extraordinary piece than ten ordinary ones. Button it over a silk camisole, drape it across your shoulders, or wear it solo with high-waisted trousers. It transitions seamlessly from morning coffee to evening dinner.
