Different wool fabrics drape very differently.
Here we show, using an example of the same pattern, how different the finished products look and what we changed in each individual sweater.
Feel free to ask any questions - either by email or in our very active Facebook group , where there is plenty of inspiration, ideas and discussions.
The pattern for all fabrics is the Alice pattern from Fibre Mood.
wool fleece
Wool fleece is a somewhat thicker fabric, so we had to think longer about whether the neckline would fit well with this pattern.
We didn't want to sew a ribbing onto the neckline, as this wasn't included in the pattern. A facing made of wool fleece, on the other hand, would have been too thick for the neckline.
So, as recommended in the pattern (sewing a facing from thin fabric), we sewed a facing made of fine, thin wool ribbing in the same color to the neckline and then lightly hand-stitched it all the way around the V-neck. The seam is thus almost invisible, but the facing doesn't flip up.
We also used the fine wool ribbing on the hem and sleeves.
This sweater is the coziest and warmest of the four sweaters!
Wool jacquard
Here I used the turquoise wool jacquard .
The fabric is much thinner and drapes very softly and gracefully. In our first attempt, we sewed a cuff at the bottom, but I didn't like that as much because it created a balloon-like effect around my stomach (which wasn't the case with fleece, for example).
We then repeated the whole process, slightly lengthening the front and back pieces and then hemming them (we'll be giving away the other sweater on Facebook in the next few days :-) )
The top image shows the hemmed version, while the bottom image shows the version with a cuffed hem. As you can see, the sweater can be turned inside out so that the V-neck is in the front or back.
As you can see in the picture, the sweater then falls completely differently.
We partially sewed seam tape into the facing (I describe exactly how in the Cino section).
I absolutely love the color and the feel of the jacquard fabric! In fact, I've received so many compliments on how great the color is when I've worn this sweater. I think I need to be a bit bolder with my color choices!
Cino
But nothing beats the feel of a Cino sweater , and so this sweater is probably my favorite sweater.
Sewn without major adjustments and much loved. 
Ah, actually, it was an adjustment after all – based on our experience with turquoise, we lengthened it slightly here as well and used a simple hem at the bottom instead of cuffs. I really like it this way.
As with the jacquard fabric, we partially incorporated our seam tape into the facing at the neckline. (7cm seam tape, then a 3cm gap, and then another 7cm – the gaps ensure the neckline is firm yet still stretchy.) The facing was then attached at specific points along the shoulder seam, center back, and center front.
cable knit
It's a rather heavy fabric that's also very stretchy, so you always have to be careful that the neckline doesn't become too large! And then the neckline is already extra large due to the pattern! So, using seam tape is essential here. We also finished the facing at the neckline with 7cm of seam tape, a 3cm gap, and another 7cm of seam tape, and the neckline holds its shape perfectly. With cable knit, you could also sew seam tape into the shoulder seam. We left it as is, and it holds wonderfully without it, but it would provide additional stability at the shoulders.
Personally, I actually prefer the sweaters without hem ribbing, but I think it's very fitting for cable knits, as it gives the cable knit pattern a kind of frame.
I like to wear it with a neckline both in the front and back - here with the cable knit, I think the large V-neck in the back is particularly clever, don't you?
Now I'm curious - which sweater do you like best?
