Read the Blend and Hem on This Striped Mohair Sweater

The blend is 20% mohair and 10% wool; compare the shorter 61–67 cm back length.

The striped round-neck sweater contains mohair and wool, but the published composition is 50% polyester, 20% mohair, 20% nylon and 10% wool. Read that as a blended yarn rather than a pure mohair or pure wool garment. If fibre contact matters to you, ask for a close image of the sewn composition and care labels before choosing it on the basis of the name.

Check where the hem will fall

Its M chest, shoulder and back-center length are 110, 55 and 61 cm; 2XL lists 122, 61 and 67 cm. The listed back length grows 2 cm per size. Hold a knit you own at the same back-neck starting point and compare where its hem meets the trousers you plan to wear. A longer size also adds chest and shoulder room, so do not size up solely to move the hem. The stated manual-measurement allowance is 1–3 cm, and the chart does not provide a hem width.

Because the sweater is striped, a solid lower half is one way to keep the pattern prominent. The source lists Black as the sole colour choice; it does not give an exact stripe layout for each size. No fibre hand-feel test, wash method or pilling result is published. Confirm the physical care label rather than deriving a wash cycle from the presence of wool or mohair.
