The cable knit sweater for the first cool morning of fall

On the first cool morning of fall, the sweater on the rail is the one that decides the outfit. This is a crewneck pullover with an all over vertical cable knit, long sleeves, and a relaxed fit, made from a blend of 50% viscose, 25% nylon, and 25% polyester.

The listing gives the fabric as 50% viscose, 25% nylon, and 25% polyester, and describes the knit as soft and comfortable for cooler fall and winter days. Viscose is the largest share of the blend, with nylon and polyester making up the other half between them. The listing does not say how heavy the knit is, so how warm it feels on a given day is something it leaves open.

The design is a vertical cable knit across the whole sweater, with a classic crewneck and long sleeves. The fit is described as relaxed and loose, with ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem for a clean finished edge. It can be worn on its own or over a basic top, and the listing suggests a tee or blouse underneath, or a jacket or coat on top once it gets colder. Whether a loose fit looks right on you is a matter of taste. The listing points to a size chart and asks that you compare your own measurements with it, but no measurements appear in the text.

Care is simple on paper. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, avoid bleach, do not wring or twist, reshape after washing, and lay flat to dry when possible. The listing says it is imported and does not name a country. It also does not state a length, a weight, or whether the fabric stretches.
