The merino V neck sweater for a cold walk to the bus stop

A V neck sweater knitted from 100% merino wool, with a stated fiber fineness of 17.5 to 17.9 microns and a seamless construction that leaves out the stitched seams at the shoulders, sides and underarms. It is also sold in Tan, Maple Leaf and Pink.

The listing says this sweater is made from 26Nm/2 pure merino yarn, two plies of long staple fibers, with a fineness of 17.5 to 17.9 microns. Fineness is the width of each fiber, measured in microns. The listing describes the texture as soft and fluffy and claims strong resistance to pilling, but that is the seller’s statement and no test results are given.

The construction is seamless 3D knitting, worked in one piece from one yarn or several strands. According to the listing, this removes the bulky stitching at the shoulders, sides and underarms, so the knit can stretch without a seam in the way. Whether that suits you is partly a matter of how you like knitwear to sit, and the listing gives no weight in grams or thickness.

The fabric is 100% wool, it is imported, and the care instruction is hand wash only. The listing does not state the length, the fit, a size chart or the price, so check those on the page before ordering. Warmth is described only as superior, with no figure behind it. It names parties, travel, leisure and work as occasions, and the choice among Tan, Maple Leaf and Pink is a matter of taste.
