Sizing Charts
See the sizing chart for measurements. All of our sweaters are based on the same sizing chart, ie Adult Large fits the same in all sweaters! The easiest way to find out what sizing works best, measure a sweater that fits well and go from there.
Our Sweaters are generously cut, and lean more towards a typical “men’s” sizing. However there is only one sizing chart for all genders.
Helpful tips
- The wool is very stretchy and pretty forgiving. Measure a sweater and compare, its worth it
- "Short" Sleeves tend to fit women well
- "Long" Sleeves tend to fit men well
- I identify as a woman with long monkey arms and love my long sleeves
- Short sleeves does not mean a t-shirt, it means the opposite of long
- Our patterns are designed to be gender neutral but do lean towards a standard men's sizing
- "Normal" is a cycle on a washing machine, not a way to describe someone . We include everyone here.
- We added the "contour" option to allow for curves and body shaping
- We have a community to help you decide. We seriously love it, so check it out
Note that we have added a new smaller sizing. It is basically between the Youth XL and Adult XXS. We don’t have XXXS tags so we decided to just call it XXL Youth and get it out there.
Chest
Measured approximately under the armpits. Flat across not around. It is best to measure a shirt or clothing to get a good idea of fit.
Back
Measured at the nape of the neck down to the bottom hem. Giving a full overall length. Our sweaters are fairly generously cut, including some good coverage at the back.
Side
Measured armpit to bottom hem along the side. Again some good coverage here.
Arm
The sleeves are measured under the arm to the sleeve end. We offer both short and long options. The long is actually long enough, which is awesome for so many. (like me!)
Wool Care
Keeping it simple
We already shrunk it anyways
Machine wash wool?
- I know that sounds wrong but lets talk about this
- Our wool is felted or shrunk already
- It is harder to rinse by hand
- It easier and works by machine
- It actually gets clean
- Most wash their winter gear in a laundry bag with their other laundry
- It is cloth diaper safe
- Unscented
- Wool and fine fiber safe
- Made in the USA
- Highly concentrated
- 1 tiny TBSP does a whole load of wool
- We recommend pre-dissolving it before adding to the machine
We recommend Washing with Unicorns
Doesn’t that sound like a dream? Well lets make it a reality. We have partnered with Unicorn Laundry Care products because they are the best product I have found for our wool. Find a retailer near you or in our shop.

And rinse some more
Our wool is thick and soft and likes to hold fluid. Which means it will hold onto soap and detergent unless it is rinsed and washed well. So we highly recommend using not only very little soap, but also to rinse well.
Unicorn Beyond Soft in a natural Fabric Conditioner. It helps keeps the fibers soft and healthy.
WASH
Step 1 Dissolve 1 TBSP of Unicorn Beyond Clean in some water
Step 2 Add wool to your washing machine
Step 3 Add dissolved detergent to the dispenser
Step 4 Turn on washer to Cool setting (use wool setting or lower spin)
RINSE
Do a secondary rinse cycle, aka rinse and spin with pre-dissolved Beyond Soft Conditioner.
We also recommend doing this every so often to refresh your wool between washes. It removed light soiling and neutralized salts
