How to judge Frett quality
- For cashmere pieces, look for a stated micron count or grade, 2-ply yarn for sweaters, and a dense knit with no daylight through plain areas. See the cashmere grading guide.
- Alpaca is graded by fineness: royal (under 19 µm) and baby (19–22.5 µm) are the luxury grades. Expect less elasticity than wool and check that blends are declared.
- This house knits fully-fashioned: check for fashioning marks along the armhole and flat, linked seams inside — the signatures of shaped, stitch-by-stitch construction.
