Is a 100% wool sweater warmer than a cashmere one?

Yes. Wool is denser and more insulating than cashmere at the same weight. It is also more durable, but less soft against the skin.

Wool can prickle, especially on the neck and arms. Wear a thin long-sleeve layer underneath if your skin is sensitive.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash in cool water with a wool detergent, or dry clean. Do not tumble dry; lay it flat to dry to keep its shape.

It is a standard pullover cut with no stretch, so take your usual size. Size up if you want a looser layer over a shirt.

Yes. The plain crewneck and ribbed trim sit flat under a jacket. It is thicker than a merino knit, so a slim blazer fits better than a tight one.
