Make an unforgettable entrance in the Maxi Irish Cardigan by Salwa London. Handmade, this statement piece brings traditional Irish crochet craftsmanship to a dramatic, contemporary silhouette. Intricate floral and spiral motifs create a richly textured design, linked by delicate openwork that reveals the layers beneath. Voluminous sleeves and decorative edging add definition, while the sweeping maxi length gives the cardigan an elegant presence.

Handle with care
I craft each of my items with care and do my best to tie everything off as securely as possible. However excessive pulling might damage or tear it.
Spot Clean
If stained, gently spot clean the area with a damp cloth and some mild detergent.
Machine Wash
If a spot clean is not enough, you may machine wash your item on a delicate cycle, cold wash or with cold settings. Place your item in a mesh bag and wash on delicate.
Drying
DO NOT wring your crochet item. If wet, gently squeeze the excess water out and lay flat to dry. DO NOT use the dryer.
Stray Fibre
If a piece of yarn pokes out, just gently push it back in. Avoid cutting anything as you may cut the wrong strand and risk everything unraveling. Do NOT pull.
