US Merino Crew Neck

Love my US Merino Crew Neck sweater! It is soft, squishy, and held up to my week's wear very well. I was concerned at first that it would pill a lot or easily snag. But neither of those became issues. I usually prefer a simple design for my staple pieces, and this knit is beautiful. Washing it was easy, though honestly I only washed it because I wanted to see how it would go. It didn't actually need to be washed yet. I am a believer in the slow fashion movement and enjoy high-quality garments that will last a long time. This sweater fits right in and I look forward to wearing it for years to come.

The sweater is incredibly comfortable, exuding high quality that suggests it'll be a cornerstone of my wardrobe for a long time. Even after wearing it for seven days, it retained a fresh scent. Though there was minor pilling on the arms, washing it with jeans not only restored its original texture but also improved its shape, dispelling my initial fears of shrinkage, itchiness, or odors. I made the right choice opting for a size medium, despite typically wearing a ladies large, as it fits perfectly. The sophisticated camel color has won me over, and now I'm eyeing the hunter green Merino wool crewneck.

The US Merino Wool Crew Neck Sweater came at the perfect time as fall started and it's time to pull extra layers out of the closet. I was already dreading the changing weather for the lack of good layers in my closet. I struggle when I don't know what to wear, it takes up too much time in the morning when I should be focused on more important concerns. However, this sweater is a layer you can and will wear often! The soft but thick knit has great thermoregulation. The Camel color is a rich neutral color option that goes well with everything else. The merino wool easily goes many days without washing, does not lose its shape much, and is quite durable for whatever the day may have in store. When it was wash time, the sweater was quite straightforward to manage, in addition to the rest of my laundry. The first wash (6 days in) compressed the 3D weave without losing the right fit while maintaining the soft and thick feeling I had gotten used to.

This sweater is for those who want to add a hardworking staple to their closet, find a regular layer to wear, and/or simply need to bypass indecisiveness on cooler days. I feel lucky to own this sweater and put it in regular rotation now, bring on winter!

It did keep me comfortable on boat trip- I heard the captain of the boat saying he put 3 sweatshirts on- I had just my sweater and a light raincoat so not to get soaked by the seaspray. I was unhappy with the pills from my camera strap and again from my backpack when I wore it.

I like the seamless construction, but I prefer the all season yak to the US merino due to washability.
