1960s Italian Mohair Cable Knit Cardigan XL

Step into timeless style with this authentic 1960s Italian mohair cardigan, beautifully hand-knitted in a classic cable knit pattern. Crafted from a luxurious blend of 40% mohair and 60% wool, this piece has a soft, slightly fluffy texture with a natural sheen, offering both warmth and lightness.

Mohair, derived from the Angora goat, is prized for its exceptional softness, durability, and lustrous sheen. Unlike regular wool, mohair fibers are smoother and stronger, giving garments a unique silky texture that resists wrinkles and holds color beautifully. This makes mohair highly sought after in vintage and luxury fashion for its comfort, elegance, and longevity.

The pale sky blue hue captures the soft pastel palette of the era, complemented by a full set of original, clear blue plastic buttons. With a deep V-neckline, relaxed fit, and detailed cable stitching, this cardigan is a solid example of mid-century Italian craftsmanship.
