The turtleneck sweater for the first cold walk to the bus

A chunky knit turtleneck pullover with a loose fit, made from a blend of viscose, PBT and polyamide. It comes in sizes S to XXL and in eight colors, and it is machine washable, which matters when the closet is one rail and laundry is a weekly job.

The fabric is 50% viscose, 28% PBT and 22% polyamide. Viscose is a fibre made from plant cellulose, PBT is a type of polyester, and polyamide is nylon. The listing does not give the weight of the knit or how thick it is, so chunky is the seller’s word and a matter of taste rather than measurement. It also does not list a length or any measurements in inches.

The shape is a pullover with long sleeves, a turtleneck and a loose fit. The listing also uses the words mockneck and baggy, so expect room through the body rather than a close cut. Sizes run 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. Between sizes, the loose cut is the thing to weigh, and that is a judgment call, not something the listing settles.

Colors listed are brown, black, dark green, grey, khaki, light blue, red and white. Care is machine wash, and the item is imported. The listing mentions holiday, party, travel and everyday wear, which is a lot of ground for one sweater, though the plain design is what lets it move between them. It does not give a wash temperature or say whether to dry it flat, so the care label on the garment is the place to check.
