Super cute but sheds a lot
This sweater is so adorable but the first time I wore it out it started to pill up and shed a lot. It only looks good for the first couple minutes you wear it.

Pill City
Wore this cardigan once and the arms and sides are covered in pills. Very disappointing.

Beautiful, versatile, elegantly casual, well-made
I love this cardigan so much that I reordered it in three colors. Please make it in blue!

For anyone concerned about pilling, there's actually a reason why wool pills. Super soft merino wool is short-staple, or low-micron, meaning that the length of the fiber (the hair) is literally shorter than the length of other wool. Durability comes from the spin/twist on the yarn and from the tension in the fabric, which comes from the stitch type and density of the stitches. For example, the City Wool line doesn't pill because it's a super tight yarn with a high tension. This sweater is done in a semi-loose brioche stitch, which is a thick, airy rib that holds a lot of air and keeps you warm while being breathable. Soft merino just requires pill-shaving, which is normal for wool. If you want wool, know that you'll need to care for it by shaving it and honestly, almost never washing it. Air it out to refresh and disinfect it. I love this sweater!!

Pink Color Not As Shown
I bought this cardigan in the Calluna Lilac color because it looked like a light pink shade. However, in person the color is not as pale.

Different Shade in Person
This sweater was pilling badly out of the package. The yellow is also a totally different undertone in person. It’s very soft and a nice weight, but I’ll be returning.

Pills so so so bad
I just opened this sweater within the last two hours. I tried it on and off a couple of times because I am deciding whether or not to keep it, and it’s already pilled so bad! I am shocked, for $168 dollars I don’t know how this quality was approved. I will be returning 100 percent, as it is awful and does not look good at all.

Cannot be washed
I washed this sweater on delicate and laid it flat to dry, and it shrunk into a toddlers sweater. I love the look of the sweater, but I think the only way to clean it is the dry cleaner. So disappointed. I'll give it to my 10 year old niece.

Beautiful, but cannot be washed
This was my favourite sweater. Beautiful drape and quality. Then I washed it. Gentle cycle, cold water, air dried, just like I do for all my wool prices. It shrunk so small that I gave it to my 8 year old niece. I wish I could buy it again, but I don’t want to waste my money again.
