FAQs
What is 'nepped' yarn?
Nepped yarn refers to fiber bunches or small specks of contrasting, often undyed, fiber that are spun into the yarn to create a textured, speckled appearance.
Is this sweater suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, as it is made from cotton, it is generally much softer and less irritating than wool-based knitwear.
Does the sweater shrink in the wash?
Cotton can shrink if exposed to high heat. To avoid this, always wash in cold water and never tumble dry.
What does 'fully fashioned' mean?
Fully fashioned indicates that the sweater pieces were knitted to the exact shape of the garment pattern, resulting in higher quality construction and fewer fabric scraps.
How should I style the crew neck?
The crew neck is versatile; wear it alone for a minimalist look, or layer it over a collared shirt for a preppy, sophisticated aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Pilling on the surface of the knit
Use a fabric shaver or a dedicated pilling comb to gently remove surface fuzz, taking care not to pull at the yarn loops.
Sweater has lost its shape after washing
Dampen the affected area slightly, gently reshape it on a flat surface, and allow it to dry completely without heat.
Snagged yarn loop
Do not cut the loop. Use a small crochet hook or blunt needle to gently pull the snagged yarn through to the inside of the sweater.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Farah Sage Nepped Sweater lasts for seasons, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash in cold water or use a delicate cycle on your washing machine inside a laundry bag to protect the chunky knit.
- Drying: Never wring the sweater. Lay it flat on a clean towel to air dry, away from direct sunlight, to prevent the cotton from stretching or fading.
- Storage: Fold the sweater rather than hanging it. Hanging a cotton knit can cause the shoulders to distort and the hem to stretch over time.
- Compatibility: It fits true to size as a regular fit, making it compatible with standard undershirts or slim-fit button-down shirts underneath.
