Johnstons of Elgin Cashmere Sweater - Cable Knit, V-Neck (For Women)
Closeouts. Like homespun angel hair, this shivery soft cable-knit sweater from Johnstons of Elgin emits halos of softness from the medium cable-knit pattern. Ribbed trim is knit on specialized machines to create the tension needed to preserve the shape of the garment over time. Vertical mill assures all dyeing, spinning, weaving and finishing processes are carefully controlled on site.

Reviewed by Vera from CA on Wednesday, March 13, 2013I purchased 2 of these sweaters--one in black and one in brume. The odd thing is the two look and fit completely different even though I ordered the same size! The cable knit on the black sweater is tight and the sweater fits nicely, while the knit on the brume is very loose, to the point of being see through. The brume sweater also has no shape. Needless to say, the brume sweater is going back. I would give 5 stars for the black and 1 star for the brume. The overall three stars is for the inconsistency in the product.

Reviewed by Emily from Midwest on Wednesday, October 24, 2012I really like these sweaters. The variety in color and style make them versatile. I am glad to see the periwinkle and sea foam colors being sold for winter and not just in summer! The cashmere is wonderfully soft and feels great against the skin. The "ply" of the cashmere is thinner than the older Johnstons sweaters I have, so the weight is not as substantial. That said, I paid more for the heavier weight. Bottom line: Quality over Quantity: I will pay a bit more for the Scottish cashmere rather than for the very cheap and itchy Chinese cashmere flooding the market today!

Reviewed by lorraine934 from Marion, MA on Wednesday, April 25, 2012This sweater is perfect for a hint of coolness or excess A/C. It is high quality, but not dense cashmere. The light color (I got frost or ice or something) looks good for spring without looking too heavy.

Reviewed by Birkin from Sea Girt, NJ on Tuesday, March 27, 2012I'm so disappointed. The Johnston's things are so beautiful, and I've always been pleased in the past. Loved the color and softness, but I don't want a sweater that one can see through. Also the sleeves were too short for me.

Reviewed by Redyoga from Benicia CA on Saturday, December 31, 2011This is a high quality cashmere sweater at a great price. I am so pleased with this purchase! I would say the sweater runs small--I wear a medium in practically everything, but I bought a size large based on others' comments, and the large is perfect.
