The merino turtleneck for the first properly cold morning

This is a women’s turtleneck sweater knitted from 100% merino wool, made as a seamless long sleeve pullover. The listing gives the yarn as 26Nm/2 with a fiber fineness of 17.5 to 17.9 micron, and it comes in Tan, Maple Leaf and Black.

The fiber story is where the listing is most specific. The yarn is 26Nm/2, meaning two plies twisted together, and the wool is described as long staple merino at 17.5 to 17.9 micron. Micron is the width of a single fiber, and a lower number generally means a finer fiber. The listing says the two ply yarn is densely knitted and claims strong pilling resistance, though it gives no test method or rating, so treat that as the seller’s description. The fabric content is 100% wool, with no blend listed.

The construction is seamless. According to the listing, the whole sweater is knitted in one piece in three dimensions, so there are no stitched seams at the shoulders, sides or underarms. The idea is that seams do not get in the way of the knit’s natural stretch, and that nothing sits bulky against the body. How that feels depends on your shape and your own sense of comfort, so it is a matter of fit and taste rather than something a spec sheet can settle. The listing does not give a size chart, a weight, or the fit type here, so check those before ordering.

The sleeves are long and the neck is a turtleneck. Care is hand wash only, and the sweater is imported. The listing does not name a country of origin.
