- Is this sweater pure cashmere?
- No. It is a cashmere blend with silk, nylon and a small amount of polyurethane. The silk softens it and the synthetics add stretch and shape retention.
- How does it fit compared with a regular crew neck?
- It is a roll-neck with long sleeves, cut to sit close enough to layer under a jacket. The stretch in the blend makes it more forgiving than a stiff pure-cashmere knit.
- Can I wear it under a blazer?
- Yes. The roll neck is designed for layering, and the white color works under dark tailoring. Check that the collar sits comfortably under your jacket lapels.
- How should I care for it?
- Hand-wash cold or dry-clean, and dry flat to keep the shape. Avoid hot water and tumble drying, which shrink cashmere blends and roughen the fibers.
- Is it warmer than a merino turtleneck?
- Cashmere is warmer for its weight than merino, and the silk adds softness. The nylon content makes it a bit less breathable than an all-natural knit.
- Does the white color yellow over time?
- White cashmere blends can dull with repeated washing and sun exposure. Wash sparingly and store folded away from light to slow it.
