I bought the navy colour back in January 2024. I find the sweater to do its job in keeping me warm, but there are three caveats: One, after handwashing with eucalan detergent (specifically for wool), the fabric becomes itchy itself - I have to wear a base layer underneath to minimize the itch. Two, there are many loose threads on the inside of the sweater that I had many instances of my fingers getting caught in them while putting it on and taking it off. Three, the quality of wool is poor such that holes emerge in the pits - this is something that many other reviewers here have complained about. The tailors at the Fjallraven store have repaired the hole on the pits once, but the hole has since remerged again.

Bevare, Really Scratchy Wool
I got this sweater as a Christmas present. It is really beautiful and looks as on the pictures. However it is not soft at all. The kind of wool it is made from would be more suitable for making coats: extremely coarse and scratchy against the skin. Even with a cotton base underneath I cannot wear this pullover. I have other 100% wool garments at home and I have no problem wearing those.
