The Cassidy Sweater

Took a punt on this one and the pale grey nordic one at the same time and neither of them disappointed. this one is a good bit bluer in real life than the photos make out, more of a denim blue than the grey blue on screen. both of them came folded flat with no creases to shake out. photo is them straight out of the box before id even tried them on

No complaints on the feel, its soft and i havent had a single itch. the stripes are brilliant, every one a different colour and the blue cuffs finish it off. the neckline is quite wide though, you can see in my photo how far over it sits, so it slips off one shoulder if im not careful. four stars because i have to wear a strappy top under it.

I was nervous about the metallic thread because I did not want anything that read as party wear. It only catches the light when you turn, the rest of the time it just looks like pattern. The blue has more green in it than my screen showed, closer to a soft mint, and I prefer it that way. Photo is by the window in daylight so you can see the real shade. Soft, and nothing scratchy at all.

The olive bands at the hem and cuffs are what make it, they tie the whole thing together instead of the pattern just stopping at the chest. Muted enough to wear with anything. Soft, warm, and I have had no itching at all, which is not always the case with this style. Stuck a photo on because the mirror shows the hem band better than the listing does.

Deep pine and a brighter spruce circling the yoke, fading into the pale blue grey below, and it reads as a proper winter scene rather than a print. Brushed finish, so it is soft to the touch and soft against the neck. Warm on a cold morning without being heavy.

no issues with the feel of it, its soft and i havent had a single itch off it which is why its still four stars. what i will say is it clings a bit when i pull it over a dress. a quick spray sorts that. the pattern is lovely and the cuffs match the yoke which is a nice touch

this is the finer knit one so it doesnt feel bulky under a coat, which is exactly what i was after because i run warm and most patterned jumpers cook me. theres a tiny bit of sparkle in the band across the chest that you only really catch in daylight, subtle rather than glittery. soft straight against bare arms with nothing underneath, no prickle whatsoever. its been through the wash twice already and kept its shape

Ordered it while it was still warm out and it sat in the wardrobe. First proper cold morning I put it on and it was exactly what I hoped, soft, warm without being heavy, and no itching at the collar. The taupe is a lot nicer in person than on screen.

worn it three times and each time someone has stopped me about the sheep. soft against the skin, i had a short sleeve tee on underneath and felt nothing scratchy at the arms. its the sort of thing you put on when you want to feel better about the day

Going to be honest here, the first day I had this on the collar tickled my neck enough that I nearly sent it back. Washed it on a cool cycle and it came out noticeably softer, and I have had no bother with it since. The colours are exactly as pictured, that quiet taupe with the sage and the thin rust line, and it goes with pretty much everything already in my wardrobe. Four stars purely because of that first wear.

Did not expect a knit to work for that, but with the floral yoke it looked dressed up enough. Comfortable all evening, which a dress would not have been. Soft, no irritation, and it still looked crisp at the end of the night

the colours are quiet, dusty blue and cream with the olive running through, so it sits next to denim and khaki and white without clashing. soft on the inside. i wore it over a shirt with the collar out and it looked good that way too

I live in black and grey so this was a bit of a leap. turns out its the only colour i need, everything underneath stays plain and this does the work. light enough that i can keep it on all day indoors without cooking. been through a cool wash already and none of the colours have bled into each other

Ordered it on a whim and its become the thing i reach for. the light grey base stops the colours looking like a costume which is the balance i wanted. soft, no scratch, and it came quicker than the date they gave me.

The fade from the pale blue at the top down into the dark night blue is so much better in person, photos flatten it completely. its soft without being thin, i had it on over a tee all day saturday and never once got too warm in it. no itching round the neck either which is usually my problem with anything patterned. went for the m and its roomy without me swimming in it.

Gutted, because it is lovely otherwise. Soft, no itch, and the colours are exactly as pictured. But there is a thread pulled right across one cuff and you can see it from a distance. I have been in touch about it. Two stars for what arrived, I will update this if it gets sorted.

the photos make it look chunky and its not, its a fine knit so it goes under a coat without bunching at the arms. the yoke is the best bit, the cream and taupe with that thin blue line running through. soft, no prickle, washed twice and no bobbles

I was worried the fluffy surface would flatten or bobble, because that is what usually happens. It has been through the machine twice on a cool wash and come out the same both times. Still soft, still fluffy, colours unchanged. No itching at all.

I overheat in most knits and end up taking them off by lunchtime. this one i had on from eight in the morning until late and never had to. soft, no itching, and the dark blue at the bottom hides everything which is handy. washed it once and nothing ran.

I usually have to size up twice and then it still hangs off me at the shoulders, so I was braced for the same. It fits properly, the shoulder seams land where they should and the body is relaxed without being a sack. Soft all over, nothing itchy at the neck. Genuinely pleased

No complaints about how it is made, it is soft and I have had no itch off it at all. It is on the warmer side though, so with the heating on it can be too much. Perfect outdoors. Dropping a star only because I cannot wear it as often as I want to.

hes got no chance but he mentions how soft it is every time i wear it. thats the thing with this one, it looks like a heavy knit and then you touch it and its smooth. no scratch, no itch, and the dark colour means it doesnt show anything

Wore it to work on the first properly cold morning and three different people came over to look at the sheep before I had even sat down. It is so soft on the inside, sort of brushed and fluffy, and there is no scratch to it at all which was the thing I was worried about. The green came out a touch brighter than it looked on my screen but I like it more for that. Sleeves are long enough to pull over my hands as well

the fit is the only thing id change, i took my usual m and its more like a large on me. ive kept it because its comfy and a bit of room suits the style anyway, but id size down doing it again. feels soft, no scratch, and the black sheep is worth it on its own

The pattern is the nicest of the lot in my opinion and it is genuinely soft, no itching. after four or five wears theres a bit of bobbling where my bag strap sits and under the arms. not enough to stop wearing it but enough to knock a star off

I have a long neck and most crew necks sit awkwardly on me, so a boat neckline was the whole reason I looked at this one. It lies flat across the collarbone and does not creep up during the day. Soft on the inside with nothing scratchy, and the sleeves finish at the wrist rather than halfway down my forearm.

The colour work is stunning and it feels lovely, soft all the way through with no scratchiness. It is a little cropped on me though, I am tall and it sits right at the waistband rather than over it. Still wearing it constantly, just be aware if you like a longer line.

I have three now and this is the one i put on when i want to be comfortable. its brushed so it feels almost furry on the outside and smooth against the skin inside. no itch, none. drapes over leggings without clinging anywhere

the grey goes with absolutely everything so it gets worn more than anything else i own at the minute. warm enough on its own indoors but thin enough that a coat still goes over it without me feeling like a marshmallow. no bobbling either and its been washed twice
