Product Insights

Le 31's twisted-cable short-sleeve sweater in 100% recycled cotton offers a heritage stitch from 19th-century Aran Islands, combining soft slubby texture with sculpted relief for artisanal depth. Its cable knit traps insulating air while remaining breathable, making it versatile for spring layering and cool evenings, and the pattern masks pilling from recycled fibers. However, care requires gentle machine washing and air drying to avoid shrinkage and preserve tensile strength, with ribbed edges potentially puckering.

Verified claims

Heritage
Twisted-cable pattern traces to 19th-century Aran Islands sweaters where stitches identified families.
Material
100% recycled cotton with a twisted-cable pattern yielding a soft, artisanal texture.
Performance
Cable knit resists pilling, traps air for warmth, and stays breathable in cotton.
Hand feel
Recycled cotton's staple length (10–22 mm) and nep count (400–1,200+/g) create a soft, slubby hand; twisted cable adds sculpted relief.
Temperature regulation
Breathable cotton keeps it cool; the cable knit traps insulating air, making it comfortable across warm and cool conditions.
Durability
Cable knit is more durable than flat knit; recycled cotton's initial pilling is masked by the cable pattern.
Care
Machine wash cold gentle cycle, lay flat to dry; fiber shedding reduces tensile strength so the sweater stretches gently.
Pilling
Vertical cable pattern and slub texture minimize visible pilling from recycled short fibers.
Insulation
Twisted cable knit traps warm air, making it warmer than a flat knit of same weight.
Breathability
Raised cable structure traps warm air while the cotton construction keeps the knit breathable.
Versatility
Short sleeves and cable insulation make it ideal for spring layering and cool evenings.
Twisted cable
Twisted stitch produces high-relief cables that trap warmth and show artisanal depth.
Layering
Short sleeves eliminate bulk under jackets and over shirts.
Styling
French tuck shapes the waist; Off White pairs with any bottom.
Texture
Twisted-cable texture adds visual depth and traps warmth.
Value
Sale price $39.95 matches plain knit and avoids brand surcharge.
Knit technique
Twisted-cable stitch is labor-intensive with Irish heritage.
Sizing
Relaxed fit; size up if between sizes or prefer a roomier fit, otherwise usual size.
Shrinkage
Air-dry flat to avoid shrinkage; machine drying on high heat may shrink the 100% cotton knit.
Recycled cotton composition
This sweater is knit from 100% recycled cotton.

Twisted-Cable Short-Sleeve Sweater: Choose this if you want a short-sleeve crew-neck sweater with a twisted-cable knit, made from an ultra comfortable 100% recycled cotton that the merchant describes as ultra comfortable, with ribbed trim at the neckline, cuffs, and hem. It is offered in Off White, Green, Mossy Green, Navy/Midnight Blue, and Mauve in sizes from small to x-large (the Green color shows only large and x-large), and the fit appears straight and slightly relaxed through the torso on the model. Note that this is a fine knit that appears lightweight and slightly sheer in areas of tension, so it reads as a lighter-layer piece rather than a warm winter sweater.[1,2,3]Twisted-Cable Sweater: Choose this if you want a textured cable-knit crewneck with twisted cable columns, ribbed trims at the neck, cuffs and hem, made of 100% recycled cotton that the merchant describes as ultra-comfortable. It comes in five colors (Off White, Brown, Mossy Green, Navy/Midnight Blue, and Raspberry/Cherry Red) and sizes from X-Small to X-Large, and is a Le 31 design made exclusively for Simons and designed in Canada. Note that sizing may run large, so you might need to size down for a proper fit.[4]Piqué Jacquard Sweater: Choose this if you want a fine two-tone jacquard knit with an optical dot texture and contrast ribbed trims, made of 100% recycled cotton. Reviewers report the relaxed raglan cut fits true to size and layers smoothly under blazers for desk-to-dinner wear, with vibrant colors true to the photos. Note that the mid-weight knit skews thin, so reviewers suggest layering rather than wearing it alone in colder weather.[5,6,7]
