Pro Tip

😎

A cable knit is inherently chunky, so weigh your material with fit, opting for oversized fits when seeking heavier cottons, or slimmer styles when going for a thinner cashmere gauge.

There’s nothing more cozy than a fresh new collection of sweaters for fall, but we’re starting with the added texture of a cable knit sweater when diving into the knitwear shop this season.
