Cable-Knit Round Neck Long Sleeve Sweater | Ivory / S 100100034069661

How to Measure

Measure a similar sweater you already own and love, laying it flat without stretching. Compare to the size guide for best results.

1. Chest (Pit-to-Pit): Measure straight across the front, 2–3 cm below the armhole seam. Double this number for the chest circumference.
2. Shoulder Width: Measure from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the back. For drop-shoulder styles, measure from where the shoulder seam meets the sleeve on each side.
3. Sleeve Length: Measure from shoulder seam to the end of the cuff. For raglan sleeves, measure from the neck seam to cuff.
4. Body Length: Measure from the high point of the shoulder (where the neck meets the shoulder) to the hem.
5. Hem Width: Measure straight across the bottom hem. Double for hem circumference.
6. Cuff Opening: Measure the width of the cuff across; double for circumference.

Knitwear naturally stretches and relaxes with wear. Allow a 1–2 cm measuring tolerance. Cables add texture and slight bulk, so the on-body fit can feel a touch cozier than a flat measurement suggests.

Materials & Fabric Information

Fiber content can vary by color or production run. Check the composition shown on the product page or care label. Here’s what common cable-knit sweater fibers feel like and how they perform:

• Merino / Lambswool: Naturally warm and breathable with good elasticity. Soft hand-feel; ideal for cool to cold weather. Typically requires gentle care.
• Cotton: Smooth, breathable, and comfortable for transitional seasons. Heavier drape; easier care than wool but can stretch at openings if hung.
• Cashmere: Ultra-soft and lightweight warmth with a luxe hand. Delicate; initial pilling is normal and decreases with proper care.
• Alpaca: Lofty, very warm, and often less itchy than traditional wool. Less elastic; benefits from careful reshaping after wash.
• Acrylic / Polyamide (Nylon): Lightweight, soft, and easy-care. Blended to improve durability, shape retention, and reduce cost; less breathable than natural fibers.
• Blends (e.g., Wool–Acrylic, Cotton–Nylon, Wool–Cashmere): Combine warmth, softness, durability, and easier care. Small amounts of elastane can aid recovery at ribs.

• Construction notes: Ribbed neck, cuffs, and hem help the sweater keep its shape; cable stitches add texture and coziness.
• What to look for: RWS (Responsible Wool Standard), GRS (Global Recycled Standard), BCI (Better Cotton), and OEKO‑TEX Standard 100 certifications where applicable.

Model & Fit

• Intended fit: Classic regular-to-relaxed silhouette with a round neckline and full-length sleeves.
• Length: Designed to sit around the hip. Cable texture can add subtle volume.
• Size advice: Choose your usual size for a clean, everyday fit. Size up for an intentionally slouchy, cozy look or to layer over shirts. Size down for a neater fit under tailored jackets.
• How to pick your size: Aim for garment chest measurements about 8–15 cm (3–6 in) larger than your body chest for a relaxed knitwear fit.

If the product page includes model measurements and size worn, use them as a reference to gauge sleeve length and overall drape for your height.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Refresh between wears: Air flat or lightly steam to release wrinkles and odors.
• Wash sparingly: Turn inside out. Hand-wash cold with a wool/cashmere-friendly detergent, or use a delicate/wool cycle in a mesh bag. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
• Dry with care: Do not wring. Press out water gently, roll in a towel, then lay flat to dry. Reshape to original measurements; avoid direct heat or sunlight.
• De-pilling: Use a sweater comb or fabric shaver gently; pilling is normal with wear and easy to remove.
• Storage: Fold—never hang—to prevent stretching. Store clean. Use cedar or lavender to deter moths; for long-term storage, keep in a breathable bag.
• Iron/Steam: Steam on low from the inside or hover the steamer; avoid compressing the cable texture with a hot iron.

• Fiber-specific tips:
• Wool / Cashmere / Alpaca: Cold water only; reshape while damp; wash less frequently.
• Cotton: Wash cold on gentle; flat-dry for best shape retention; tumble dry low only if label permits.
• Acrylic / Blends: Wash cold on gentle; flat-dry to minimize stretching and preserve rib recovery.

Always follow the care instructions on your garment’s label.

Style Tips

• Weekend casual: Pair with straight-leg denim and leather sneakers; half-tuck the front to balance the cable texture.
• Office polish: Layer over a crisp shirt or under a relaxed blazer with tailored trousers and loafers.
• Feminine contrast: Wear with a satin midi skirt and ankle boots; add delicate jewelry for texture play.
• Cold-weather layering: Add a thin merino tee underneath; finish with a wool coat and scarf. Cuff sleeves to show layers.
• Proportion play: Balance the knit’s volume with slim bottoms, or go full cozy with wide-leg pants and structured boots.
• Tonal dressing: Neutrals pair effortlessly; try monochrome layers for a refined look.
