- Is 100% cashmere worth it over merino?
- Cashmere is softer and warmer for its weight than merino, so it feels more luxurious against the neck. Merino is more durable and easier to wash, so pick cashmere if comfort matters most and you will care for it properly.
- How does the fit run?
- It is a slim Sandro cut, close through the chest and sleeves. If you want room to layer a shirt underneath, go up one size.
- Can I machine wash it?
- No. Hand wash in cool water with a cashmere shampoo or dry clean. Machine washing risks shrinking and felting the knit.
- Will it pill?
- Some pilling is normal with cashmere, especially under the arms and at cuffs. Remove pills with a fabric comb or sweater shaver and it will look clean again.
- What is the elastane for?
- A small amount of elastane adds stretch so the turtleneck and cuffs hold their shape. It also means the knit can relax with wear, so store it folded rather than on a hanger.
- Is the yellow see-through or very bright?
- The knit is fine but opaque in this weight. The yellow is a warm, muted tone rather than neon, so it works with navy, grey and denim.
