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

The sweater is quite heavy and runs a little small. The style and colors are pleasing

This is a nice Cardigan but it is very thick and heavy I shall have to wait for winter to wear it

It is a beautiful sweater but very heavy. (Several #'s) Colors are bright and yet soft.

This is a beautiful sweater, but alas it was sooo heavy, it was heavier than a winter coat. So I sadly had to return it because I couldn't wear it comfortably.

Pros: well made, beautiful print, usable pockets! Cons: cotton is very thick and heavy, takes 2 days to dry after washing if lying flat per directions. Runs quite large, the xs is enormous

Great color, great fit, nice and warm, BUT it sheds on the inside all over whatever top you are wearing. My recommendation is to not wear a dark color shirt or blouse under it. I'd take more stars off if it wasn't such a comfy and attractive sweater.

I ordered this sweater for my elderly mother and it was huge as an extra large! It went to her knees! It was also very heavy. We sent it back for a large and it is more like a sweater coat. She was happier with the bigger size but still runs large.

The sweater is great. The recommended size chart is pretty accurate and really helped in ordering the correct size. It is a comfortable sweater!

Heavier than I thought. Florida rarely gets cold enough for this weight. Beautiful though!

I really like this sweater. It's super comfy and very warm. I just wish the colors all matched with the Oatmeal option. It looks a little awkward that there's one line of pink at the top when the rest of the sweater is blue, teal and tan. Other than that the material is very nice and comfortable.

Women's Cotton Ragg Sweater, Open Cardigan Fair Isle, Petite She loves it. It's a true petite size. However, pay attention to the weight. It's quite heavy. Wire hangers are intimidated by this sweater.

This is a beautiful sweater. I got a 1X because I wanted it to overlap and accommodate layers. It does that well, but I just miss having buttons to keep it closed. It is pretty heavy , and probably warm, but I returned it- too expensive to not be totally happy with it. I can't speak to durability as I didn't really wear it. I actually bought a men's organic cotton sweater with a hood and zipper instead, and like it very much.

Wish that it had buttons.

Beautiful colors, beautiful pattern. I didn't care for the weave of the sweater. I thought it would be woven like the other cotton ragg sweaters. It's not. I also thought it was a physically heavy sweater. I returned it today.

Very cozy, very glad I ordered an xl. I am between a medium and large and the xl is snug. Definitely not what I was expecting.

My husband bought me this in the teal print. I just received it and haven't decided if I will keep it. I realize the company saves money by not having buttons and button holes or zippers. However, if I wear a warm sweater, I don't want the front of my body cold! On the plus side, the teal print is pretty and the heavy cotton fabric is warm. I saw the other color in person at a Bean store and thought it very ugly! So I am still on the fence about keeping it.

Good quality

Very pretty pattern and nice quality but body of sweater runs small.

Lovely colors in this sweater, but it was too heavy. I also felt that I needed to go up a size.

This sweater is very pretty but it had defects in the hip area. Along the seams at the side, there were bulges in the hip area, seemed like extra material caught along the side seams. Whenever I put the sweater on, the sides stuck out. It was a petite size and was still too long on me also. I had to return the sweater and was disappointed because, like I mentioned before, it was such a nice design on the sweater, lots of soft colors and it would have been perfect for the fall weather.

Fit, color, construction very nice, BUT IT IS TOO HEAVY. On the way back to Ll Bean today.

Absolutely loved the pattern and colors in this sweater. Great style. Only caveat was it was HEAVY and thick. Cotton rather than cashmere which made it bulky. Had this been more refined (less bulk) Bean could have sold me a hundred of them!

Very cute design/colors but very thick and HEAVY. Physically heavy. Felt like wearing weights. I thought, being cotton, it would be lighter and work for more seasons, but it is somehow really dense and thick. Would be great for cold climates but far more warmth than I was needing.

This sweater is very, very heavy, which I didn't expect with it being cotton. It wasn't just thick, it weighed a lot. Also, runs on the bigger side and was more boxy than it appears in the photos online. The colors and pattern are beautiful, but it's more of a cotton coat than sweater.

I returned this. If you want a very heavy weight sweater, this is good. But it is only for winter.
