- Material
78% reprocessed viscose (1:3 wood savings) + 22% nylon for durability.
Why this is supported
The sweater's material blend of 78% reprocessed viscose and 22% nylon is verified: reprocessed viscose uses a 1:3 waste-to-pulp ratio,
it takes only about one tonne of recycled textile waste to create the same amount of new fiber pulp that previously required up to three tonnes of trees.
news.sustainability-directory.comThe recycled fiber source operates at commercial scale—
Commercial Scale: One major producer has successfully commercialized recycled viscose fiber on a 35,000 ton-per-annum production line, proving the technology is ready for mass market adoption.

Why this is supported
Research on winter knitting advises that
Wash your viscose polyamide clothing in cold water (below 30°C or 86°F) using a mild detergent that’s specifically designed for synthetic fabrics.
kitchenjournal.netand recommends using a machine's gentle cycle with a mesh washing bag to protect the knit from snagging.
if you do choose to use your washing machine, turn the viscose clothing inside out and place it in a mesh washing bag. This will protect it from snags and snares.

Wardrobe basic
I have 5 of these turtlenecks now and wear them all winter long. They wash easily, never pill, hold their shape, and fit well. My only wish is that they were an inch or two longer in the waist, to tuck in and stay put more reliably.
Nice sweater
I love the colour, and the details. The knit is very nice as well.

Navy turtleneck
Material is soft and feels cozy when you wear. Snug fit. Looks very stylish.
Classic, polished-look turtleneck
The viscose/nylon material makes it drape well, and it is very soft. Three gold buttons on the sleeves adds an element of interest. I bought four classic colors that are very versatile: camel, burgundy, brown and black. The price is very affordable. After Christmas it was on sale, and Simons will do a price adjustment on my recent purchase. Simons & Customer Service truly values clients.

My third colour
If you like a turtleneck that is neither super tight nor boxy and voluminous, this sweater is for you. The colour range is fantastic. The buttons at the wrist elevate it to work appropriate.

A perfect Fall staple!
I have this sweater in multiple colours - it's the perfect Fall/Winter staple for your wardrobe and can be dressed up or down. The neck is not too tight and the sizing is spot on. Note, the Contemporarie line of turtlenecks fit a big bigger than the Twik line, which seem to fit a bit more snug :)

Sizing
I wear a large in every other brand of sweater. This sweater, size large, was so small, I could barely get it on.
Beautiful Color & Unique Details, Just Wish It Was Longer
Lovely vibrant colour with the buttons adding a unique detail. I would have liked a little more length through the torso area, especially with this being winter apparel. I was surprised how soft it felt for upcycled material.
So comfortable
Beautiful dark blue, very comfortable and the neck is not too tight. The 3 buttons at the wrist is a nice detail. Will buy again in other colours.

Nice fabric, nice fit
It's surprisingly difficult to find a thin knit turtleneck in a comfortable fabric so I was pleased to find this one in a silky viscose knit. And so many colours to choose from! Love the gold button detail on the sleeves. I purchased in off-white and can wear without a nude bra showing through. The sweater wears regular and drapes in places, as shown, which I don't mind. But if you're looking for a more fitted look, maybe size down.
