Men's crew neck knits
The simplest shape in knitwear, and for that reason the hardest to make well: the neck has to recover every time.
Yarns
Cashmere and merino wool for winter. Cotton, linen and crochet for the warm months.
The neck is reinforced rib: it is the first point to give way on a badly made knit.
How to wear it
Over a shirt with the collar out, or on its own.
Under a jacket in place of a waistcoat, when you want warmth without bulk on the sleeve.
Frequently asked questions
Will the neck stretch?
+
It should not: it is reinforced rib. It stretches if you pull it over your head by the edge instead of opening the knit with both hands.
Can it be worn over a shirt?
+
Yes, with the collar out. It is the simplest way to add a layer without adding formality.
How do I wash it?
+
By hand in cold water with a detergent for delicates, or a cold wool cycle. Dry flat.
Which size should I choose?
+
S/46, M/48, L/50, XL/52, your usual size.
