Grana Review Merino Wool Mock Neck Sweater

I'm a huge fan of Grana's merino wool when I first tried out their merino rib cardigan so I was definitely looking forward to trying out their merino mock neck sweater.  As I've said before, I'm not a fan of turtlenecks so I was very curious how this mock neck would turn out (it's my first!).  And well, I love it!

First a note on sizing.  I find myself continuously going back and forth between small and medium in Grana sizes.  It's kind of a crap shoot but for the most part I guess depending on the fit on the models.  If it's an oversized fit like a "boyfriend" fit I will go for the small, but if it looks fairly trim on the model then my go-to size is a medium.  I ordered a medium on this one and I would say it's a good fit.  Also this way I can wear a tee under this sweater (and possibly a collared button-down, which I did in the picture below--I guess it kind of works).

Anyway I love love love this sweater.  The merino wool is smooth and silky and feels a lot more lux than its $59 price tag.  Seriously this is a great deal.  The wool is on the thin side like the merino wool cardigan I reviewed so you definitely want to use this as a layering piece.  If you're a first time buyer use my referral link here to get 10% off your first purchase (if you're a repeat customer, from now until Dec. 31st get 10% off your order with the code ELAINEXGRANA).  And you can now find all my ordered Grana reviews here.
