- Is this sweater warm enough for winter?
- It is 100% cotton, so it is a mid-weight layer rather than a cold-weather knit. It works well indoors and in mild weather, or under a coat in colder months.
- How should I wash it?
- Handwash only. Cotton knits can stretch and lose shape in a machine, so wash cold by hand and dry flat.
- How does it fit?
- It is a crewneck knit with ribbed trims, cut in standard US sizes. The ribbing keeps the hem and cuffs close, so it sits neatly over a shirt.
- Is it itchy like wool Fair Isle sweaters?
- No. The cotton knit is soft against the skin, which is the main reason to choose it over a wool version.
- How does it compare with wool Fair Isle sweaters?
- It is lighter and easier on skin but less warm and less shape-retentive. Wool rivals hold their structure better; this one needs careful washing.
- What sizes are available?
- US sizes 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12.
- Where is the Altuzarra Marty Fair Isle Cotton Sweater cheapest?
- At Mytheresa, for $895.00, as of our latest check.
