Fine-Gauge Crewneck Sweater Delft Blue Escorial Wool

Our fine-gauge crewneck sweater is exactly what it sounds like, with a slim — but not tight — fit, a saddle shoulder, and ribbing at the neckline, hem, and turnback cuffs. This lighter-weight knit is made of Escorial wool, an elevated alternative to cashmere that comes from a super-rare type of sheep originally kept by Spanish royalty. Soft and supple, with springy, coiled fibers that naturally resist wrinkling, it’s sourced from the only direct descendants of the original Escorial flock, which are now bred in small pockets of Australia and New Zealand. Talk about special. Fun fact: as far as we know, we’re the only American retailer making sweaters from Escorial yarn. Join us ahead of the curve.
