Our most-reordered knit: 18.5-micron merino, a soft rollneck that folds twice, and long rib cuffs you can pull over your hands.
Fine merino pills where it rubs – underarms, the front where a bag sits – for the first few weeks. A wool comb takes it off and it reduces with time. It is also not machine-tough: hand wash or a true wool cycle only.
Pick a size before adding it.
Merino at 18.5 microns is fine enough that most people who say wool itches can wear it against the neck. The 12-gauge knit is light enough for a mild autumn day and warm enough for a January morning under a coat.
The neck is long, so it folds twice and sits soft rather than tight. The cuffs are a deep 12 cm rib, and the body is relaxed with a dropped shoulder – roomy, but not oversized.

The fabric weight on the page is exactly what turned up. I have stopped trusting photos and started trusting grams, and this shop gives you grams.
Second order. The size guide measurements were spot on, which sounds basic until you have returned three things elsewhere that were not.
Did exactly what the “worth knowing” note said it would. I would have preferred it not to, but I would much rather be told before I buy.
This piece is cut on the women’s pattern: relaxed, dropped shoulder, wide rib cuff. Lay a top you like flat, measure across the chest, and compare.
