Round Neck Cable-Knit Sweater | Black / S 100100318420668

How to Measure

Lay the sweater flat on a table. Do not stretch. Measure in centimeters and double widths to get circumference.

1. Shoulder width: seam to seam across the back. For drop shoulders, measure from high point of shoulder to sleeve join on each side and add.
2. Chest/Bust width: 2–3 cm below the armhole, straight across.
3. Sleeve length: from shoulder seam to end of cuff. For raglan sleeves, measure from the neck seam to cuff along the top.
4. Back length: from the high point of shoulder next to the collar down to the hem.
5. Hem width: straight across the bottom hem.
6. Cuff width and collar height: across the cuff; neckline edge to collar top (if applicable).

• Tip: Compare these to a favorite sweater for the best fit.
• Note: Cable knits are loftier and can have less horizontal stretch; allow a tolerance of ±2–3 cm.

Materials & Fabric Guide

This style is commonly made from the fibers below. Check the product composition label for exact content.

• Wool (Merino/Lambswool): Warm, breathable, naturally odor-resistant; resilient shape. May pill lightly. Prefer cool hand-wash; dry flat.
• Cotton: Soft, breathable, great for sensitive skin. Heavier drape, less elasticity. Machine wash cold gentle; dry flat to avoid stretching.
• Cashmere: Lightweight warmth with a very soft hand. Requires gentle care and de-pilling. Hand-wash cold; dry flat.
• Alpaca: Lofty warmth, often low itch. Hand-wash cold; dry flat.
• Acrylic/Polyamide: Easy-care and colorfast. Gentle machine cycle in a mesh bag; may pill more with abrasion.
• Common blends (e.g., Wool–Nylon, Cotton–Acrylic, Wool–Cashmere): Balance warmth, softness, and durability. Follow care for the most delicate fiber in the blend.

Cable-knit construction adds texture and structure, creating a cozy feel and slightly thicker profile than plain knits.

Model & Fit Information

• On-model look: relaxed through the body with a classic round neckline and full-length sleeves; hem typically sits at the hip.
• Intended fit: easy and comfortable, with room for light layering underneath.
• Fit advice: take your usual size for a relaxed look; size down for a neater silhouette, or size up for an oversized, slouchy effect.
• Reference example: model approx. 175 cm / 5'9" with a 33" bust wearing size S for a relaxed fit. Always compare to garment measurements for best results.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Prep: turn inside out; use a mesh laundry bag to reduce friction.
• Wash:
  • Wool/Cashmere/Alpaca: hand-wash cold with wool-safe detergent. Avoid long soaking.
  • Cotton/Blends/Acrylic: gentle machine cycle cold, low spin.
• Rinse gently; press out water without wringing. Roll in a clean towel to blot.
• Dry: lay flat on a towel, reshape cables and edges; avoid direct heat/sun. Do not hang.
• De-pilling: use a sweater comb or fabric shaver with light strokes to remove fuzz.
• Iron/Steam: steam lightly or iron on low with a pressing cloth. Avoid high heat (especially on acrylic blends).
• Storage: fold and store flat; never hang. Keep clean between seasons; add cedar or lavender to deter moths.
• Stains: blot, don’t rub. Treat promptly with an enzyme or wool-safe remover after testing on a hidden area.
• Rotation: rest 24 hours between wears to let fibers recover their shape.

Style Tips

• Weekend: pair with straight-leg denim and clean sneakers; half-tuck to balance the cable texture.
• Work: layer over an Oxford shirt with tailored trousers and loafers for smart-casual polish.
• Layering: add a fine turtleneck underneath or throw on a structured coat; a scarf complements the round neck.
• Dress it up: combine with a satin midi skirt or slip dress and ankle boots.
• Proportions: cables add volume—balance with slim or straight bottoms, or define the waist with a belt.
• Color play: neutrals (ecru, grey, navy) are timeless; pair bold hues with understated bottoms.
• Accessories: leather belt, crossbody bag, or chunky boots add contrast to the knit texture.
