Product Information
Full details
The Farah Sage Nepped Sweater is designed for individuals seeking a sophisticated yet relaxed addition to their seasonal wardrobe. Its primary benefit is the unique textural depth provided by the speckled nepped yarn, which offers a elevated aesthetic compared to standard knitwear. While it provides excellent style versatility, potential owners should note that the chunky, fully-fashioned knit requires specific care to prevent snagging and maintain the integrity of the raglan sleeves and rib-knit detailing.

FAQs
What does 'nepped' yarn mean?
Nepped yarn refers to fiber that has small, intentional clusters of undyed cotton or wool woven into the main yarn, creating a distinctive, speckled, and textured look.
Is this sweater suitable for sensitive skin?
The sweater features a cotton-blend composition designed for comfort, but those with extreme sensitivities should wear a light undershirt if the knit feels too coarse.
How should I store the sweater to prevent stretching?
Always fold your sweater for storage. Hanging knitwear on hangers for long periods will cause the shoulder seams to sag and the sleeves to stretch.
Can I iron this garment?
It is not recommended to use a hot iron directly on the chunky knit. If the sweater looks wrinkled, use a handheld steamer from a few inches away.
Does the Farah Sage Nepped Sweater run true to size?
Yes, it is designed with a regular fit. If you prefer an oversized look for layering, you may consider sizing up, but standard sizing is generally accurate.
Troubleshooting
Pilling on the surface of the knit
Use a high-quality fabric shaver or a sweater comb to gently remove pills without pulling the underlying fibers.
Fabric snagged by jewelry or sharp objects
Do not pull the snag. Use a needle or crochet hook to carefully pull the loop back through to the inside of the garment.
Garment losing shape after washing
Always dry the item flat on a flat surface. If the sweater was hung while wet, it may need to be lightly steamed to recover its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Farah Sage Nepped Sweater retains its shape and texture, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Use a gentle, cold-water cycle inside a garment bag to prevent the nepped fibers from catching on other clothing.
- Drying: Never tumble dry. Lay the sweater flat on a clean towel in its natural shape to air dry, as hanging while wet will stretch the shoulder seams.
- Storage: Fold the sweater and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid using wire hangers, which can distort the shoulder shape and pull the fabric.
- Maintenance: If loose threads appear due to the nature of the nepped yarn, gently tuck them back into the weave using a small crochet hook rather than cutting them.
