- Is this sweater warm enough for winter?
- It is a mid-weight cotton knit, so it works as a layering piece rather than a standalone winter sweater. Over a shirt or under a jacket it handles cool days; for deep cold, a wool cable knit is warmer.
- How does it compare with a wool fisherman sweater?
- Cotton is softer against skin, machine-washable and cooler. Wool is warmer, springier and holds its cable shape longer, but needs more careful washing and can itch.
- How should I wash it?
- Machine wash cold at 30 degrees and lay flat to dry to keep the cables from stretching. Avoid a hot dryer, which can shrink cotton knitwear.
- Does it run true to size?
- It is cut as a regular women's fit with a crewneck. If you want a loose, oversized fisherman look, consider sizing up; if you plan to layer it under a jacket, stay with your usual size.
- What is it made of?
- It is 100% cotton with a solid-color cable knit, long sleeves, a round neckline and ribbed trim at the cuffs and hem.
