Is $12.99 a good price for this sweater?

Yes. It is the lowest of the three stores pricing it new as of November 4, 2026, and well under what most cable knit sweaters cost. At that price, treat it as a fast-fashion layer rather than a long-term knit.

Does it contain wool or alpaca?

The listing is contradictory. One spec block lists 60% wool, 30% polyamide and 10% alpaca; the description lists 50% viscose, 28% polyester and 22% nylon. Ask the store to confirm before buying if animal fiber matters to you.

It is a regular fit with dropped shoulders, so it runs relaxed through the body and sleeves. The model is 5'8" in a size S, and the size S body length is 53 cm / 20.7 in.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, no bleach, then lay flat to dry and iron on low. Do not tumble dry, since the knit can stretch and pill.

Just the sweater. No extra pieces or accessories are included.

Clearance and end-of-season sales at Charlotte Russe are the usual times this kind of knit drops below its list price. The current $12.99 is already near the bottom of its recent range.
