Is Geelong wool itchy?

Geelong is a fine merino-type wool, and most owners describe it as soft against the skin. Sensitive wearers may still want a layer underneath.

It is cut with a slouchy, relaxed shape. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down; the 26-inch length sits around the hip.

Can it go in the washing machine?

No. It is hand wash only, so use cool water and a wool detergent, then dry flat to keep its shape.

Is it warm enough for winter?

Yes. The wool traps air for warmth without much weight, and it layers well under a coat on cold days.

One sweater. It is a pullover with a rolled turtleneck and ribbed cuffs; no hood or zip.

How does it compare with a lambswool sweater?

Geelong wool is finer and lighter than standard lambswool, so it feels softer and less bulky, though it can pill more easily.

Our take on the Celtic & Co Geelong Wool Slouch Turtleneck Sweater

A women's pullover sweater in 100% Geelong wool, a fine merino-type yarn known for softness and lightness. It has a slouchy body, a rolled turtleneck with deep ribbing and ribbed cuffs, and a 26-inch length that sits around the hip. Geelong wool traps warmth without much bulk, so it layers under a coat better than chunky lambswool knits. It suits women who want a relaxed, heritage-style winter sweater; the trade-off is hand-wash-only care and a loose shape that some find too roomy.
