Is this sweater warm enough for winter?

The wool and cashmere knit gives moderate warmth. It works well as a mid-layer under a coat, but it is not a heavy outdoor sweater on its own.

How does the regular fit run?

The brand describes a regular fit, so it sits close to the body without being tight. Size up if you want a looser, oversized look.

How should I care for wool and cashmere?

Hand wash in cool water with a wool detergent, or use a gentle machine cycle in a mesh bag. Dry flat and avoid hanging, which stretches the knit.

Will the knit pill over time?

Cashmere-blend knits commonly pill with friction under the arms and at the cuffs. A fabric comb removes the pills, and washing less often slows it down.

What is the neckline and shape?

It is a crew-neck pullover with long sleeves and a straight regular-fit body. There are no graphics or logos on the knit.

Is it worth it over a plain wool sweater?

The cashmere content gives it a softer hand and lighter warmth than all-wool knits. You pay for the Dior name and the blend rather than unusual design.
