Wool And Mohair Mock-Neck Sweater Exclusive Collection From Italy
This women's mock-neck sweater, made in Italy and imported exclusively for Contemporaine, is a stretch knit garment composed of acrylic, wool, mohair, and nylon. It has a boxy fit with dropped shoulders, elbow-length short sleeves, and ribbed edging at the neck, cuffs, and hem. Suitable for cool-weather wear, the chunky yet soft fuzzy knit offers moderate warmth with a relaxed, non-restrictive silhouette.

Product Insights
The sweater is an exclusive Italian import priced at $59 CAD, undercutting competitors by 3-5x. Its blend of acrylic, wool, mohair, and nylon provides natural warmth, shape retention, and a fuzzy halo without itchiness, though the acrylic prevents excessive pilling. The one-size boxy fit uses stretch knit and ribbed edging to accommodate various body types, and the cream/ivory color works in tonal outfits. However, it requires cold hand washing to avoid shrinkage, and lighter colors may be sheer under direct light.
Verified claims
- Italian exclusivity
- Exclusive direct import from Italy at $59 CAD, bypassing traditional markups.
- Price competitiveness
- $59 CAD, 3-5x less than Italian-made competitors.
- Fit
- Stretch knit and ribbed edges let the one-size boxy silhouette fit a range of body types without losing shape.
- Care
- Sweater not pre-shrunk; cold water hand wash and lay flat dry to avoid size loss.
- Structured pairing
- Front tuck with ribbed edges defines the boxy fit for a polished silhouette.
- Styling
- Cream/ivory colorway anchors tonal outfits with beige, taupe, or chocolate trousers.
- Acrylic
- 60% acrylic gives the sweater dimensional stability so the boxy shape and ribbed edges hold their form, and it keeps the sweater affordable.
- Mohair
- 10% mohair adds a fuzzy halo, helps ribbed edges recover, and gives an on-trend look, though some wearers still find the knit scratchy.
- Warmth
- Wool and mohair provide natural warmth without adding bulk.
- Sheerness
- Lighter colors may be sheer; a camisole is recommended for coverage.
- Halo
- 10% mohair creates a fuzzy halo and diamond-like luster.
- Comfort
- The low 10% mohair blend reduces the scratchiness of higher-mohair knits for many wearers, but some still find the sweater itchy and prefer a base layer.
- Itchiness
- 60% acrylic, 20% wool, 10% mohair, 10% nylon: the 10% mohair is outnumbered by softer fibers, so the sweater feels smooth, not prickly.
- Pilling
- Pilling may occur with wear, especially on high-friction areas; washing inside out and using a fabric shaver can minimize it.
- Shape retention
- The sweater resists stretching and holds its shape through wear and washing.
- Color considerations
- The Ivory/Cream Beige color has a mohair luster and suits tonal styling, but it can be slightly sheer under direct light.
- Ribbed edging
- Ribbed edging at neck, cuffs and hem contains boxy volume for polished silhouette.
- Textural contrast
- Dense ribbed trims contrast with the fuzzy mohair body knit for visual depth.
- Italian design
- Italian production uses ribbed edging to structure boxy silhouettes, a boutique hallmark.
- Sleeve length
- This sweater has short sleeves rather than long sleeves, making it a transitional-weather mock neck that works for warmer months and layered indoor looks without bulk.
- Lightweight layering
- The knit is lightweight for its warmth, so it works as a short-sleeve layer over a tee or under a jacket in cool weather.
- Dry cleaning
- Dry cleaning is a safe alternative for this blend, though hand washing cold and laying flat to dry is the recommended everyday care.
- Origin
- The sweater is made in Italy.

Everyday casual layering piece
Reviews summary points to this as a standout casual sweater thanks to its modern, slightly oversized cut and rich, attention-getting colors. It's a mixed picture, though: the wool and mohair fabric is often reported as itchy, especially on sensitive skin, with many reviewers wearing a long-sleeve base layer underneath. The mock-neck's elastic band is also often described as too tight, and many reviewers stretch or fold the collar down for comfort.[1]
A warm mid-layer under your winter coat
One reviewer reports this sweater works as a winter layer under a coat, keeping her warm without bulk. Its mock neck and comfortable mid-layer fit make it easy to wear under outerwear on cold days.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Wool And Mohair Mock-Neck Sweater Exclusive Collection From Italy: Choose this if you want a modern, slightly oversized boxy sweater with rich, true-to-photo colors and a chunky, fuzzy knit; one reviewer found it warm and comfortable as a mid-layer under a coat. Expect the body to run short, almost cropped, and plan on a long-sleeve base layer, since the wool/mohair blend is reportedly itchy, especially for sensitive skin. The mock-neck's elastic band is also cited as too snug, though many reviewers fix this by stretching or folding the collar and end up satisfied.[1,2] | Mock Neck Solid Tunic Sweater: Choose this if you want a long, loose tunic with relaxed coverage: the hem sits at the upper thigh in front and extends noticeably lower at the back, with a wide ribbed hem band, side vents, and ribbed cuffs on long, relaxed sleeves. The retailer describes the fine-gauge, matte stretch knit as soft and ultra comfortable, and it is made of 80 percent reprocessed viscose and 20 percent nylon. It comes in sizes X-Small through X-Large in four solid colors, though the solid design has no patterning or ornamentation.[3,4,5,6] | Fine Knit Mock-Neck Sweater: Choose this if you want a flowy, stretch fine-knit layer with a low, short mock neck instead of a full turtleneck. It has a regular, close-but-not-skin-tight fit with ribbed collar, cuffs, and a hem that sits at the hip, in a smooth, matte-finish knit made of 80% reprocessed viscose and 20% nylon. It comes in sizes X-Small to X-Large across four colors (Black, Light Grey, Slate Blue, and Red).[7,8,9,10] |

Fresh colour
A bit itchy
Cute sweater
I like the way it sits and the cut. Weven with a small percentage of mohair it is scratchy so I willbhave to wear something under to make it bearable.
Belle qualité
Je l’aime beaucoup
Very stylish
Love the color, style, and softness of the material.
Beau chandail versatile toute l’année
Confortable et chaud, malgré l’élastique serré au cou, (qui cause un peu de démangeaisons) qui selon moi aurait dû être mis à la base de l’encolure, plutôt qu’en haut. Ayant des bases en coutures, j’y ai remédié. Il est finalement parfait. Mis 4 à cause de la retouche. Peut être porté tant l’hiver sous un manteau moins doublé, pour du « in and out » ou en été par temps plus frais.

Très beau et surtout il n’est pas fait en Chine je l’aime beaucoup.
Très doux
Superbe
Magnifique couleur
Un pull de magnifique couleur et belle coupe toutefois je le dois de donner cette évaluation puisque malheureusement il pique suffisamment pour être dérangeant au niveau du cou.
Overall nice
Soft, nice fit for one size item. The neck has elastic sewn in. This is a bit too tight and somewhat uncomfortable.
Inconfortable
Matière qui crée des irritations, chose que je n’ai jamais vécue auparavant
Beautiful sweater true to size
Beautiful sweater true to size
Loved it . But !
Would have loved to love these sweaters, however, the elastic around the collar was too tight. Also made it itchy
Mohair mock-neck sweater
Would highly recommend if you are looking for a fuzzy sweater for cool summer weather or chilly fall days. Stylish, a little buggy but in the way that you want a modern sweater to be. I generally wear a small or medium and this sweater fits perfectly. I just love this oversized, super comfortable style that goes with everything. Bought in two colors: "assorted green" (fashion mint color) and "mauve" (gorgeous lilac). Happy to add them to my collection. Thinking of buying one more as a gift. Thank you
Great sweater
looks good, feels good, looks super stylish, love the volour

Confo sauf pour le cou un peu serré.
Chandail col montant
Parfait mais col montant fait très serré au cou, j’ai réussi à étirer le col pour pouvoir le porter,maintenant fait bien 4 * a cause du col sinon 5* pour le confort du chandail.
Pink sweater
Beautiful colour. Nice sweater, good price
Love the color and the fit
But, it just isn't soft enough.
J’adore! Acheté deux couleurs
Bonne qualité et très confortable.
Photo is not accurate
This sweater is actually a crop. It appears in the photo to be a normal length sweater but in fact is quite short, pretty much a crop sweater. As a mature woman I would never order something that is crop and am disappointed that the photo and description were not accurate. I will be returning this item.
Love it!♥️
Beautiful and very comfy! I also love this colour!💙

Piquant pour la peau sensible
Color is more orange than red
Nice knit, though a bit itchy. The color is more like a dark traffic cone orange.
