Is this sweater warm enough for winter?

It is a wool-blend pullover, so it works as a mid-layer in cold weather and on its own in mild cold. For deep winter, wear it over a shirt or under a jacket.

Will the wool feel itchy?

Wool blends are usually softer than pure wool, but some people still find them scratchy against bare skin. If you are sensitive, wear a base layer underneath.

How does it compare with a plain wool crewneck?

It adds a snap-button placket and a marled texture, so it reads dressier than a plain crewneck. Warmth is similar, though a pure-wool crewneck may be heavier.

How should I care for it?

Hand wash or use a wool cycle in cold water, then dry flat to keep the knit in shape. Avoid tumble drying, which can shrink and distort wool blends.

Does it run true to size?

Knit pullovers like this are usually cut to layer over a shirt, so most shoppers take their normal size. Size up if you want a looser fit over heavier layers.
