Johnstons of Elgin Classic Cashmere V-Neck Sweater - 21-Gauge (For Women)
Closeouts The higher the gauge, the finer the yarn, the softer and lighter the sweater. Apply that logic to Johnstons of Elgin's classic cashmere V-neck -- knit from superfine 2- gauge yarns -- and you have a blissfully soft sweater you can wear in almost any season.

Reviewed by lisa from hawaii on Thursday, April 11, 2013This sweater is lovely in all regards. The medium I ordered was true to size. I know this brand always has great quality and this sweater is no exception. The cashmere is so much superior to so many other brands. The fit is excellent, just right, a little shaped. A good buy. Would love to see it in more colors, maybe some soft heathered shades.

Reviewed by KDS from North Carolina on Wednesday, January 02, 2013Two things: 1. The sizing runs very small. I'd say the L would fit a normal size 8 or a small size 10. I am 5'11" and it was also too short waisted for me. It would be better on someone 5'7" or shorter. 2. It feels more like a soft shetland wool than cashmere. It is too scratchy to wear next to bare skin. Most of my winter sweaters are cashmere and are far softer than this material. For the price, I'd expect a more luxurious feel.

Reviewed by Shelly from New Paltz, NY on Friday, December 14, 2012I am so happy I bought this sweater. I have a couple of cashmere sweaters and this one surpasses the others in quality. It is warm and soft and hasn't pilled yet. It is true that cashmere is everywhere now, but yarn and construction are not he same! The medium fits me perfectly. I am 5'6" and 128 pounds with 35" bust. I would highly recommend buying this sweater and thank you STP for making it an affordable purchase!

Reviewed by SAM from New York, NY on Saturday, December 08, 2012Johnstons of Elgin is one of the top cashmere mills and makers in the world. I always used to lust after their V necks on their website but I was never able to afford them. Thanks to Sierra I own a few of them and I'm so happy with them. Great quality, light but not thin and I get compliments on them everywhere I go. It's great for casual wear when you want to feel luxurious.

Reviewed by Woman of the Pines from Duluth MN on Saturday, December 01, 2012I was excited about this high-end cashmere sweater because it looked like it would be a wonderful basic. However, the knit is SO rough and scratchy, I cannot believe it's cashmere. I was extremely disappointed, especially for the price of the product. It's going back.

Reviewed by Older and wiser from Littleton, MA on Thursday, November 01, 2012This is as advertised, very good quality cashmere. Cashmere is everywhere and most of it is so junky. Cashmere should not pill. At all. Most does. This doesn't. The fabric's hand is even and smooth. I haven't washed mine yet, but by the feel of the fabric, this will "bloom" with a gentle wash, and become even softer. Love the more modern details like hemmed cuff and tail. SO happy I bought this sweater! SO happy to be able to afford it because of STP!
