A long sleeve crew neck pullover with a loose fit and an elasticated hem, made from a blend where nylon leads and wool is a small part of it. It comes in six sizes, XS to XXL, and the listing says to stay true to your usual size.

The fabric is the first thing to read. The listing gives the content as 45% nylon, 30% anti pilling acrylic, 20% viscose and 5% finer wool. That makes it mostly synthetic, with wool as a small share, so the words wool blend in the title describe a trace more than a main ingredient. The listing calls it soft on skin, breathable, lightweight and wrinkle resistant, and says it packs small. Those are the seller’s descriptions, and the listing gives no fabric weight in grams to put a number on warmth.

The cut is a loose fit pullover with a crew neck, long sleeves and an elasticated hem, in a solid color. Sizes run XS for US 0 to 2, S for US 4 to 6, M for US 8 to 10, L for US 12 to 14, XL for US 16 to 18 and XXL for US 20 to 22. The listing advises staying with your usual size. It does not state the length, sleeve length or chest width, and it does not name the colors beyond calling them neutral and versatile.

For care, the listing says machine wash with a laundry bag, and also suggests hand washing. The bag is meant to reduce friction and prevent pilling. It is imported, and it is listed for fall, winter and spring. Whether it suits you is partly taste, since a loose, plain sweater is a look some people like and others find shapeless.
