Yes, the 100% lambswool construction provides excellent insulation, making it ideal for cold conditions as a midlayer. For extreme cold, it should be layered with a warm outer shell.

No, it is strongly recommended to hand wash the sweater in cool water using a wool-specific detergent. Machine washing can cause shrinkage and damage the wool fibers.

A midlayer is a garment worn between a base layer (next to the skin) and an outer layer (like a jacket). Its primary function is to provide insulation and retain body heat.

The thumbholes are openings in the cuffs of the sleeves, allowing you to insert your thumbs. This helps to keep your hands warmer by covering the wrists and preventing sleeves from riding up.

No, the sweater is made of wool and is not waterproof. It offers warmth and some resistance to light moisture but should be paired with a waterproof outer layer for rain or snow.

Wool is naturally odor-resistant and doesn't require frequent washing. Airing it out between wears is often sufficient. Wash only when necessary, following the hand-wash instructions carefully.

This sweater is specifically made from lambswool and features an Icelandic fisherman's design, including practical elements like a half-zip neck and thumbholes, optimized for warmth and utility in outdoor conditions.

Lambswool can sometimes feel slightly rough initially. Wearing a base layer underneath can prevent direct skin contact. The itchiness often reduces with wear and proper care.

Gently reshape the sweater while damp and lay it flat to dry. Avoid exposing it to high heat, which can cause permanent stretching.

This is normal for wool knits. Gently remove pills by hand or use a fabric shaver specifically designed for wool. Avoid excessive rubbing during wear.
