FAQs

We are known for making vintage-inspired cardigan sweaters with ribbon trim.

All Noyac Knit sweaters are designed and knit right here in the USA in Brooklyn, New York using high quality imported yarn -- including superfine merino wool, EcoViscose, and long-staple Egyptian cotton. Did you know mills in Brooklyn used to make more than 50% of sweaters sold in the U.S. We are committed to fostering local business and are proud to be part of a movement to bring knitting back to the U.S. Noyac Knits: locally made, globally refined.

We offer cardigans in various lengths and styles, as well as sleeveless sweaters for twin sets or to wear alone, and pullover sweaters.

All three styles share our signature grosgrain ribbon trim and are made in the USA from premium imported yarns — but each has its own personality. Classic: hip-length, tailored fit, crew neck. Crop: waist-length, slightly relaxed — great with high-waisted skirts. Puff-sleeve: just above hip with feminine puff sleeves for a more statement look.

The grosgrain ribbon trim is our signature — and what makes a Noyac Knits cardigan instantly recognizable. Each ribbon is carefully hand-applied by skilled sewers, adding a refined, playful detail that elevates classic knitwear into something special. It's the kind of detail that makes people ask, "Where did you get that?"

Our creative process involves carefully selecting each ribbon, yarn and button combination to create unique sweaters. There are endless shades of pinks, greens, blues, and purples that we consider to create a color pallet for each color combination. Some of our ribbons are vintage and not readily available. Some patterns we have chosen to make only a limited quantity so they are special for each customer. We want you to LOVE your special sweater and know that it is not mass produced but rather made for you. Sign up for an email notice to learn about new color combinations.

Our EcoViscose knits are also made with 28% PBT, which is a high performance polyester that offers natural, long-lasting elasticity to the knits. This fabric is smooth and soft to the touch with a slight stretch, machine washable, antibacterial, and moisture wicking.

We source our ribbon from New York, and all our grosgrain ribbon is woven in the U.S. Some is vintage and hard to find or available in limited quantities. We are proud to support American ribbon makers.

Grosgrain ribbon is a woven ribbon with a distinctive horizontal weave. It is durable and lustrous in appearance. Its history dates back to the 17th century when it was first used for trimmings on clothing. U.S. ribbon makers are known for their striped designs. We celebrate U.S. ribbon makers and use ribbon made in American mills. Some of our ribbon is vintage and not readily available. All of our ribbon is carefully selected and paired with our sweaters to create unique combinations that can only be found at Noyac Knits.

Our specially dyed resin buttons are made in America to coordinate with our ribbons and yarns. Our shell buttons are from Japan. We source our buttons from the famous LouLou Buttons in New York City.

Always fold — never hang — to prevent stretching. Store in a cool, dry place. For seasonal storage, use breathable cotton bags with cedar or lavender sachets to deter moths.

For all sizing questions, please refer to the size guide on each product page.

For classic and crop cardigans, size up for a looser fit. For puff-sleeve styles, size down for a more fitted look. For the boatneck pullover, size up for a relaxed drape. For oversized styles like the Cooper Cable-Knit, size down for a standard fit.
