Long sleeve with turtleneck

How do you choose the right knitted turtleneck?

Knitted turtlenecks in wool and silk are designed with a focus on comfort, temperature regulation, and fit. The most commonly used materials are merino wool and silk, with the wool providing insulating and temperature-regulating properties, while the silk gives a smooth surface and a light feel. The ribbed construction is widely used, as it provides elasticity and a close-fitting fit without feeling restrictive.

Natural temperature regulation with wool and silk

Turtleneck t-shirts are often made from a blend of 70% merino wool and 30% silk. Merino wool has finer fibers than traditional wool, resulting in a softer and more comfortable material against the skin. The combination with silk makes the fabric light, breathable, and suitable for both cool and milder temperatures. This material composition can be seen in the Hanro Woolen Silk collection, among others, and makes the turtleneck suitable for use both as an outer layer and as an undershirt.

Women's turtlenecks protect the neck from the cold

The neck is particularly sensitive to the cold, and a turtleneck covers the area all the way up to the chin. This creates an insulating layer that reduces heat loss and protects against drafts. The merino wool retains heat, while the silk ensures that the material feels soft and comfortable. The vertical structure of the rib knit provides flexibility and helps the fit follow the body's movements.

Close-fitting turtleneck as a base layer

The close-fitting design makes the turtleneck suitable as a base layer under jackets, cardigans, and blazers. The thin rib knit adds minimal volume and makes it possible to combine multiple layers without the clothing feeling heavy. The turtleneck can therefore be used year-round and adapted to changing temperatures by adjusting the layers.

Turtlenecks in wool and silk in multiple colors

Turtleneck t-shirts in wool and silk are available in both dark and light shades.

Classic colors such as black, navy, and dark green work as neutral base colors, while beige, sisal, and cream provide a lighter alternative. The silk content gives the material a subtle sheen, and the merino wool ensures stable temperature regulation. The simple design with long sleeves and a turtleneck makes these models suitable for many occasions – both for everyday wear and more formal situations.
