Uses

Pack it flat for cool-weather trips

For travel and carry-on packing, this thin merino knit packs flat while still insulating on cool days. Wool's natural wrinkle resistance also helps it stay presentable straight from the suitcase.[1,2]

A light layer for cool days

This thin merino knit insulates enough for cool weather, with reviewers noting the lightweight sweater still keeps you warm. It packs flat, making it an easy layer to bring along on outings or keep at the office.[1]

Dress it up or down for the office and beyond

Shoppers reviewing this merino sweater describe it as a smart-casual staple that reads classic in office settings. The simple crew neck takes accessories well, so it can be styled dressy or kept casual depending on the day. Based on customer reviews, it pairs easily with whatever accessories you choose.[1]

Everyday merino wear for sensitive skin

This merino wool sweater is made with exceptionally fine fibres that bend easily against the skin, which reduces the prickle sensation associated with coarser wool. Some wearers with sensitive skin have still found the fine merino reads scratchy, so it may be worth confirming the feel against your own skin if wool usually bothers you.[1,2]

Managing the Merino wool knit

To maintain the garment's shape and elasticity, treat the knit gently, as some reviewers noted it may stretch after a single wear. The natural crimp of the wool fiber allows the material to stretch and recover without breaking, helping the fabric to maintain its shape.[1,2]

Long-Sleeve Crew-Neck Merino Wool Sweater: Choose this if you want a fine-knit, versatile merino layer: it is made from responsibly sourced 100% merino wool using Baruffa extra-fine yarn spun in Italy, and most reviewers describe it as soft, silky, and almost shirt-like, with a simple crew neck that reads classic and dresses up or down. Its thin, lightweight knit packs flat for travel while still insulating on cool days, and it comes in five colors including green and blue that reviewers found beautiful. Note that care is high-maintenance, some petite shoppers report the body and sleeves run long and need extra small or tailoring, and one sensitive-skin reviewer found the knit scratchy.[1]Ultra-Fine Knit Sweater: Choose this if you want an ultra-light, silky-soft layer in flowy reprocessed pure viscose that works for everyday wear, dressing up, or layering under jackets without bulk. Note that reviewers say the thin knit is sheer, so plan to wear a camisole or undershirt underneath. It also shrinks if machine washed, so hand-washing or air-drying is needed to preserve the fit.[3,4]Fine Ottoman-Knit Crew-Neck Sweater: Choose this for a slim, medium-light layering sweater that works under blazers or vests and dresses up with dress pants for business-casual office wear. It is a stretch knit in a 78% reprocessed viscose and 22% nylon blend with fine horizontal ottoman ribs, a subtle sheen, and a wide range of nine colors that reviewers describe as true-to-photo, and reviewers report it keeps its shape through wear. Note that sleeves run snug through the forearm and bicep, the hem hits at the hip rather than providing longer coverage, and the fabric creases easily, so sizing up and steaming or ironing may be needed to keep a sharp look.[5,6]

Excellent quality

★★★★★Chantal S.

Article de qualité. Manches trop longue par contre.

Magnifique mais trop compliqué pour l'entretien

★★★★★Sylvie L.

Magnifique chandail, coupe parfaite. Quand j'ai lu le mode d'entretien j'ai retourné la commande. Trop compliqué pour moi.

Belle qualité, mais coupe trop grande pour une personne petite

★★★★★Nancy L.

Le chandail est de belle qualité et la couleur est magnifique, mais la coupe est trop grande pour une personne de petite taille. Même en taille small, que je porte habituellement chez Simons, les manches et le corps sont trop longs. J'ai écrit au service à la clientèle pour échanger le chandail contre une taille XS, mais je n'ai jamais reçu de réponse. J'ai donc fini par le retourner.
