Pure Merino Wool Fine Fair Isle Knit Sweater: Choose this if you want an all-over Fair Isle pattern in a fine-gauge knit: it is made of 100% responsible merino wool, with Baruffa extra-fine merino thread spun in Italy that the retailer describes as known for softness and strength. It has a relaxed (not oversized) fit that falls to the hips on the model, a crew neck, and contrasting ribbed cream collar, cuffs and hem, offered in sizes X-Small to X-Large in Patterned Ecru.[1,2,3]Striped Fine-Knit Sweater: Choose this if you want a soft, lightweight fine-knit crewneck with classic black double stripes that dresses up or down for all-day wear. It is generally true to size with a straight, relaxed fit ending at the hips, though it may run short for tall shoppers or those wanting a tunic length. Note the actual color—especially the raspberry shade—can differ from online photos, so expect some variation.[4,5,6]Patterned Soft Boxy-Fit Sweater: Choose this if you want a soft, stretchy 100% polyester knit with a boxy, slightly cropped short-sleeve cut, a crew neckline, and ribbed hem, cuffs and neck trim. It features an all-over small floral print with pink blooms, green foliage and blue accents on a light cream base, offered in Patterned White, Brown and Blue. Note it comes in a single ONE SIZE option, and the hem sits above the waist in the listing images.[7,8,9,10]

★★★★★Marie B.

Je l’ai lavé exactement comme les instructions . La texture a changé et malgré que j’ai essayé de lui redonner sa forme , il a rétréci . Il m’allait très bien , on me disait que j’avais un beau chandail

Doux, chaud et confortable.
