Is this sweater warm enough for winter?

No. It is a lightweight cashmere knit with open ladder stitching, so it is best for mild weather or as a layer. In cold weather you would wear it over a base layer or under a jacket.

Do I need to wear something under it?

Usually yes. The pointelle ladder stitching is open, so the knit is airy and partly sheer. A camisole or tank in a matching tone keeps the look clean.

How does it compare with a plain cashmere crewneck?

It is lighter and more decorative. A plain crewneck is warmer and more opaque; this one trades warmth for texture and a softer, scalloped finish.

How should I care for it?

Treat it as delicate cashmere: hand wash in cool water or use a gentle cycle in a mesh bag, then dry flat. Fold it rather than hanging it so the open knit does not stretch.

What is the fit like?

It is a fine-gauge knit meant to sit close to the body without being tight. The scalloped edges and open stitching give it a softer drape than a structured sweater.

Our take on the FRAME The Ladder Cashmere Pointelle Sweater

The Ladder is FRAME's lightweight cashmere sweater built around open ladder pointelle stitching that runs through the knit. Scalloped edges finish the neckline, cuffs and hem, giving it a softer, more feminine look than a plain crewneck. It suits shoppers who want a fine-gauge layer that reads dressy without structure. Against basic cashmere crews, it trades warmth for airiness and visual texture, so it works best over a camisole or as a light layer rather than as a standalone cold-weather piece.

Cons
