Great quality. The look and
Great quality. The look and fit is very good and true to size charts and whats shown on the pictures. At least for me, because I have a slender build, similar to the models. I bet other people have more trouble with the model selection on asket because they have a more different body type. It's warm enough for winter but not too warm in spring/autumn. I can wear the Merino wool at least 10 times without it smelling, and there was next to no pilling after a gentle machine wash (following the care label). My biggest issue is that the neck has no internal stability and the seam connecting it to the main body looks a bit bad. Still, I bought a grey and blue one because I like this sweater so much.

How to take care of wool

Most of us have probably ruined a sweater or two in our garment care career and caring for wool has a bad rep for being a hassle. We respectfully disagree. Wool care is misunderstood. In general, wool garments require much less care, the garment practically takes care of itself because of the inherent qualities of wool. Sure, if you do need to wash the whole piece, it needs some extra attention, but that’s exactly what we’ll guide you through in this section - there’s nothing to fear.
