Description
Seventy percent merino, thirty percent cashmere — a blend rather than pure cashmere, deliberately. Pure cashmere at this price would be a short fibre that pills within a month. The merino carries the structure and the cashmere carries the handle, and the result wears far better than either alone.
Knitted at seven gauge with a generous body, a dropped shoulder and a wide rib that holds the shape at the cuff and hem. Dove grey is a warm grey with no blue in it.

Taken with the garment laid flat, in centimetres. Bust, waist and hip are half measurements — double them to compare against your own body measurement. If you are between two sizes, the fit note above tells you which way we would go.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bust, unstretched | 99 | 104 | 109 | 114 | 119 | 124 |

| Cuff, unstretched | 18 | 18 | 18 | 18 | 18 | 18 |
Care
Hand wash cold with wool wash, or dry clean. Dry flat. Use a comb rather than a razor on any early pilling — a razor cuts the fibre and makes it worse.

Second winter, no pilling under the arm which is where every other jumper I own gives up.

Soft without being flimsy. I appreciated the honesty about why it is a blend.
