Product Insights

Twik's boat-neck short-sleeve cardigan, priced at 39 CAD, is made from 80% reprocessed viscose and 20% nylon, a material that reduces energy use by 75%, water consumption by 90%, and carbon footprint by half compared to virgin viscose, while preventing deforestation. It matches virgin viscose in softness, drape, and strength, and surpasses acrylic in breathability. The fine knit provides natural stretch and a true-to-size fit, with a wider boat neckline allowing off-shoulder styling. Designed in Canada and exclusive to Simons, it undercuts comparable cotton cardigans from Gap and Quince. However, it requires hand washing or delicate machine washing in cold water with enzyme-free detergent and must be laid flat to dry, as tumble drying causes shrinking and pilling.

Verified claims

Environmental impact
The reprocessed viscose can cut energy use by up to 75% and water use by up to 90% compared to virgin viscose; it is made from discarded textiles, diverting them from landfills and avoiding virgin wood pulp and its associated deforestation.
Performance parity
Reprocessed viscose matches virgin in softness, drape, and strength.
Eco standing
Reprocessed viscose aligns the cardigan with over 200 brands' forest-safe viscose commitments.
Value
The $39 CAD cardigan undercuts Gap's $70 cotton cardigan and Quince's $50 organic cotton cardigan.
Fabric comfort
Surpasses acrylic blends in breathability and matches virgin viscose in softness and drape.
Stretch and fit
Fine knit construction provides natural stretch; buyers find it true to size.
Care
Hand wash cold, lay flat to dry; tumble drying causes shrinking and pilling.
Sustainability
Reprocessed viscose uses up to 75% less energy and 90% less water than virgin viscose, with roughly half the carbon footprint.
Material
80% reprocessed viscose and 20% nylon blend provides soft hand and fluid drape for the boat neck's sleek line.
Design
Designed in Canada, exclusive to Simons.
Sizing
True to size with natural stretch; size up for relaxed fit.
Neckline
Boat neckline is wider than a crew neck, allowing off-shoulder styling.
Washing
Hand wash or delicate machine wash in cold water with enzyme-free detergent.
Drying
Lay flat to dry; never machine dry or hang wet.
Iridescent buttons
The cardigan includes iridescent buttons, a style detail largely absent from basic cotton cardigans at higher price points.
Moisture wicking
The reprocessed viscose blend is moisture-wicking, offering a more breathable wear than typical acrylic/nylon blends.

Boat-Neck Short-Sleeve Cardigan: Choose this if you want a fitted, short-sleeve cardigan for layering over warm-weather outfits, with a wide boat neckline, a vertical button placket with full-length iridescent buttons, and a straight hem that sits at the waist. It is a fine, vertically ribbed knit in 80% reprocessed viscose and 20% nylon, listed in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large and four colors including the solid black shown. Note that the sleeves are short cap-style, so it offers no long-arm coverage.[1,2,3]Puff-Sleeve Cardigan: Choose this for a cropped, puff-sleeve button-front cardigan in a lightweight, non-itchy knit with a touch of wool — reviewers describe the fabric as buttery-soft and cozy all day, with colors that match the photos across five shades from Black to Red. It pairs especially well with high-waisted skirts and pants, per reviewers. Note the one-size design fits like a medium at most, so reviewers say the sleeves and body run short on anyone over 5 feet 7 inches or who typically wears large, and the fabric may pill early — gentle washing is advised, and the elasticized hem tends to ride up when worn open.[4]Small-Button Fine-Knit Cardigan: Choose this if you want a fitted, slightly cropped waist-length layering piece — its soft, non-itchy fine knit adds shape without bulk for summer evenings, air-conditioned offices, or layering over dresses and skirts with high-waisted bottoms. Petite wearers report the XS fits true to proportion, but note the body runs small and many customers size up unless they want a very fitted look, and the small front buttons can gape or pull across the chest even in the right size. The actual color may also differ from online photos, so check in person if an exact tone matters.[5,6,7,8]
