Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Cotton Ragg Sweaters Open Cardigan Fair Isle

I almost returned this sweater became of the fit. I wore have liked the sleeves to be longer, but I decided to keep it because it's warm and I like the pattern.

This cardigan brings me back! I purchased the brown (with dark coral pattern) for only $4.00 after applying Bean bucks. What a steal! This baby is HEAVY. All cotton. I washed it on the gentle cycle, and found that it did pill some, but not horribly. Break out the sweater shaver if you're fussy like me. Though the care instructions read "dry flat," I took my chances and tossed it in the dryer on low heat for about a half hour to PARTIALLY dry it. Drying it flat would have taken years. Luckily, I did go up a size to account for shrinkage, as it did shrink a bit. I'm happy with this cardigan! So cozy, soft and warm. And colorful!

The sweater is soft and beautiful. I am a size 14 pants however, I love to wear my tops extra extra roomy. I don't want the feeling of restriction. I ordered an XL sweater and wished I would have read the reviews better. I would have ordered a 1X. The sweater fits me beautifully, I just like the feeling of roomy, like a favorite bathrobe no fitted. This review was meant for people like me otherwise order normal size.

I love the warmth and comfort of this sweater. Of course I like a black shirt best under it and the lint just leave the shirt underneath a mess. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

Too heavy for me; others the colors are beautiful, fit is good and it is well made.

Heavier weight than I was expecting but very cozy. I like having the pockets in the sweater. My usual size is xl and that size fit in this sweater.

Great quality. Exactly as picture shows. Extremely satisfied. But very very heavy. So beware if looking for a lighter Cardigan.

This is a heavy sweater. Lovely pattern and colors. I would have given it 5 stars if it had buttons.

Wish would offer more TALL! Beautiful colors and very warm.

This is a heavy cotton sweater, great with jeans or just about anything! The only issue I had with it was washing it, and hanging to dry. It took 3 days to get completely dry!

I love this sweater everything about this sweater! The colors are so pretty, the pockets are a nice size, and l love that it's heavyweight. It is perfect for a Michigan winter. But it runs a little small and I'm still deciding if l want a petite L size. Otherwise it's perfect.

typically wear mediums on top. sometimes i go up to large as i carry my weight on my hips. tried a medium and the shoulders were a smidge snug. tried a large and it was like 3 inches longer and thus way TOOO long--lower thigh! sadly, i had to return both. that said, nice fabric, nice weight, well done sweater.

This is a substantial, warm cardigan. I wear it with denim layered over any one of my many pima cotton tees! Perfect for fall!

This sweater is just about perfect. I'm giving four stars because the colors were not as expected and I almost sent it back. The pink is almost invisible and the tan looked gold in the photo. Fit and comfort are ideal.

This sweater is warm and pretty, but it runs small

The cardigan is beautiful and perfect for indoor and outdoor use IF you live in a cool climate. Living in central FL, I was hoping for a sweater a bit lighter in weight. It was with a heavy heart that I returned my purchase.

Sweater was a little big for me and heavier than I wanted. I waas looking for a lighter weight cardigan. It was very pretty but I returned the sweater.

I love that it's so thick and warm. I am 5 ft 7in, about 135 lbs, and normally wear mediums but I sized up to a large to make it extra cozy. Was disappointed that the arms seem relatively short for being a large.

I love this sweater except that I got a pull in it the first time I wore it. It is very warm and the colors are beautiful.

Very nice sweater. I am 143 lbs and usually buy a large in LLBean stuff. Rated 4 stars only because the large didnt fit & I had to return for a XL. Runs a little small in my opinion.

This sweater runs a little large. I'm 5'3" and 150 lbs. and ordered reg large. It is quite heavy but also warm and beautiful. The arms are fitted and wearing a long sleeve tshirt for warmth didn't work. I didn't have any problem with the weaving in the sleeves as others have mentioned. I wish everyone would include height and weight as is really helps.

This is a beautiful sweater with vibrant colors. I bought the rustic blue fair isle in a medium, which is my usual size with LL Bean. This one fit like at least a small, maybe even an extra small. Sadly, I had to return it.

It is very heavy but really warm. I had no idea that the threads would be so exposed on the inside. I debated about returning it but I wore it and it is just what I need for a cold work environment.

This cardigan is extremely heavy which makes it very warm. Fits great true to size

Nice soft cotton, well made. It is a tad smaller than my other Bean sweaters of the same size, so order up if you like it nice and loose.
