A closer look at the Spices in merino wool in burnt orange

Spices · The Cable Knit Pullover

Oct 31, 2026·

There is a version of this top in every shop. What separates the Spices is the cloth: merino wool, dyed merino wool in burnt orange, and finished without shortcuts.

Care

Iron inside out on a low setting. Direct heat on the surface can leave a shine that does not come out.

How to wear it

It sits well under an unstructured jacket. Choose a tone that echoes merino wool in burnt orange rather than contrasts with it.

Fit

Proportions are simple. Nothing exaggerated, nothing cropped, and the length lands where it should for both trainers and leather shoes.

Fabric

The cloth is merino wool. It keeps a little structure through the day, softens with washing and does not require ironing to look presentable.

Worth knowing

Colours within the range are dyed to sit together, which makes combining two pieces from the same fabric straightforward.

In short: a merino wool top that does its job. Worth knowing if you are replacing something worn out and want three more years from it.
