Fedeli cashmere turtleneck, Italian and understated

Questions and answers

Is cashmere warm enough for real winter?

Yes. Cashmere insulates well for its weight, and a fine-gauge turtleneck adds noticeable warmth under a coat. In severe cold, layer it rather than wearing it alone.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash in cool water with a gentle wool detergent, then dry flat. Avoid machine washing and hanging, which stretch and felt cashmere. Many owners dry clean instead.

How does the fit run?

Fedeli cuts its knitwear slim. If you want a relaxed layer over a shirt, take one size up; for wearing under a jacket, your usual size works.

Will it pill?

Fine cashmere can pill where it rubs, such as under the arms and at the cuffs. A cashmere comb removes pills, and pilling usually eases after the first few wears.

How does it compare with a merino turtleneck?

Cashmere is softer and warmer for the same weight but costs more and needs gentler care. Merino is more durable and easier to wash, so it suits everyday wear better.

What colors does it come in?

Fedeli offers this turtleneck in a range of classic shades, typically neutrals like navy, grey and camel. Check the specific listing for the color on offer.
