Wool Sweaters

Merino and virgin wool sweaters, cardigans and pullovers for women and men from independent boutiques.

A wool sweater is the foundation of cold weather dressing, offering natural warmth, breathability, and structure across women and men. Relaxed and oversized silhouettes in black, blue, and ivory anchor the rotation, balancing soft merino knits against crisp denim or tailored trousers. Fishermen wore knitted jumpers like the guernsey, and the first Aran jumpers, from Ireland's Aran Islands, kept the wool's natural lanolin, which helped them shed water.

A.P.C., which Jean Touitou founded in Paris in the late eighties, brings clean, simple cardigans and sweaters. MM6 Maison Margiela is a second line launched in the late nineties, and Les Deux is a Danish menswear label known for a minimal take on streetwear.

Due West in Toronto brings most of this page, with knits from COOR, Canada Goose and Les Deux among its merino, alpaca and mohair pieces. WDLT117 in Toronto brings MM6 Maison Margiela, Nina Ricci and Patou, and Utopia in Toronto adds pre owned Louis Vuitton.

Common questions

What makes merino wool sweaters different from standard wool knits?
Merino fibres are much finer than ordinary wool, so they feel soft and itch less, since coarse fibres are the ones that prickle. Like other wool, merino absorbs moisture and holds warmth.
How should an oversized wool sweater fit across the shoulders?
The shoulder seam should sit slightly past the natural shoulder bone to create an intentional relaxed drape. Pairing that volume with straight leg trousers or raw denim preserves clean lines without swallowing the frame.
Which designers on this page make wool knitwear?
A.P.C., founded in Paris in the late eighties, brings neat cardigans and sweaters, and MM6 Maison Margiela, a second line launched in the late nineties, brings knits. COOR, Canada Goose and Les Deux bring knits to Due West.
