I'm still on the hunt!</p> <p><b>Missvee,</b> I'm in BC, so a trip to Quebec is out of the question. But Simon's (in Montreal and elsewhere) actually carries Benetton! So, to Nuancedream's point, I <b>could </b>get a grey sweater from them (no navy or white).&nbsp;</p> <p>Some of the other options aren't available in Canada or don't currently carry the colour range available in the US in Canada.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'll keep you posted with updates in case anyone else is interested!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso--simple-merino-jumper-sweater-tops/page/2#post-2230350 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 21:16:46 +0000 missvee 2230350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d suggest you check out Boutique Jourdain in Quebec City. &nbsp;We were in Quebec a couple of weeks ago, our first trip out of Ontario since January 2020, and I tried on a&nbsp;Saint James sweater, the Brehat III. &nbsp;It seems like a very good quality merino knit, not too thick but substantial. I should have bought it then and there but didn’t, and now after much hemming and hawing, and thinking that I should be able to get something locally, I’ve finally just ordered it online. &nbsp;<div>Merino is hard to find, and when you do it can be so thin you could spit through it (as my dear MIL would say). &nbsp;I do have an older one from Uniqlo and the quality is quite good, but the crew neck is way too high so I rarely wear it. &nbsp; &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso--simple-merino-jumper-sweater-tops/page/2#post-2230349 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 21:06:56 +0000 nuancedream 2230349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Benetton does not ship to Canada. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso--simple-merino-jumper-sweater-tops/page/2#post-2230336 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 20:00:20 +0000 sarah 2230336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got this one in red. But it also comes in neutrals. I see someone linked to them above in petite. I got regular size XS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso--simple-merino-jumper-sweater-tops#post-2230335 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 19:51:29 +0000 LaPed 2230335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gaylene took the words right out of my mouth: Uniqlo, Everlane, Icebreaker. Uniqlo is definitely worth a look! And keep an eye on Everlane, too. I think they mostly have cashmere right now, but I bet they will release more merino at some point during the season. DH's best-wearing wool sweater is a merino knit from Everlane that he's had for 4 or 5 years now. Still looks like new and drapes beautifully. Icebreaker does more and more non-sporty styles and tends to focus on neutrals.&nbsp;</p> <p>Not sure what shipping is like to Canada, but I think Woolovers and Pure Collection (both British) might have some good options for you. They tend to do classic styles in a wide range of colours. DH's second best sweater is a merino-cashmere crew from Woolovers. Gorgeously soft and wears like iron. I can't vouch for them, but newer brands like Naadam and Quince might also be worth a look. They built their reputation on cashmere, but I *think* they do merino too. I suspect that as cashmere comes down in price it'll keep cutting into the merino market...</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso--simple-merino-jumper-sweater-tops#post-2230319 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 18:59:03 +0000 Gaylene 2230319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here’s a slate blue crew neck from Simon’s:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.simons.ca/en/women-clothing/sweaters-cardigans/sweaters/responsible-merino-wool-crew-neck-sweater--7107-203229?colourId=23">https://www.simons.ca/en/women.....l-crew-nec</a></p> <div><br /></div><div>My go to sources for basic merino wool sweaters are Uniqlo, Everlane (warning: good service but Vic shipping takes about 3 weeks!), and Icebreaker.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>ETA: &nbsp;Not merino wool, but I’ve been eyeing this cashmere sweater from Everlane as an alternative to my basic crewnecks:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.everlane.com/products/womens-cashmere-ls-polo-kalmata?collection=womens-sweaters">https://www.everlane.com/produ.....s-sweaters</a><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso--simple-merino-jumper-sweater-tops#post-2230296 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 16:24:59 +0000 Angie 2230296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've just ordered this from M&amp;S in the pink and will report back.

I'm checking them out. My thought last night was M&amp;S, <b>Angie</b>, so I started a search. They have a few items but the reviews are not positive. So I'm debating. On the plus side, I <b>did</b> find the new PJs I also need at M&amp;S!&nbsp;</p> <p>Uniglo is a great idea....I will check it out. I always forget that we can order online from them now in Canada (that's relatively recent). Ditto Joe Fresh -- thanks, <b>Helena</b>! I'll look there, too.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Chris</b>, I don't think the Canadian BR site has those sweaters, but I'll check. Will also follow up on some of the other options. <b>Inge,</b> "lightweight top" is really more what I want than cozy sweater -- these are more for layering over than for wearing on their own or layering under, IFKWWM. So Cos might work! I'll also check to see if Benetton is do-able in Canada.&nbsp;</p> <p>Will report back, and thank you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso--simple-merino-jumper-sweater-tops#post-2230281 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 14:24:33 +0000 Tanya 2230281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Theory outlet has a nice silver grey crewneck:&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://outlet.theory.com/crew-neck-po-ot/K071717R_001.html?dwvar_K071717R__001_color=001">https://outlet.theory.com/crew....._color=001</a></p> <p>Quince has both crewnecks and v-necks in all the neutrals you mention, at vey affordable price points:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.onequince.com/women/extra-fine-australian-merino-wool-crew?color=navy&amp;tracker=collection_sweaters__desktop__4_3&amp;gender=women">https://www.onequince.com/wome.....ker=collec</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.onequince.com/women/extra-fine-australian-merino-v-neck?color=navy&amp;tracker=collection_sweaters__desktop__4_1&amp;gender=women">https://www.onequince.com/wome.....=collectio</a></p> <p>I got a black silk skirt from them earlier this year and the quality was good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso--simple-merino-jumper-sweater-tops#post-2230278 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 14:09:28 +0000 Angie 2230278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried M&amp;S?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso--simple-merino-jumper-sweater-tops#post-2230275 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 14:04:09 +0000 Chris987 2230275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>... and I have this one from LLBean although it's more sporty, with a slightly rougher finish and long sleeves/thumb holes.

They give the length as 22.5" for the petite sizes. (Regular is 23"). I'm short waisted and that 22.5" length is just barely short enough for me. If that works for you this one comes in several colors incl cream and grey (on your list). The stock is low, but perhaps worth a look. I got the three below a few months ago and have just started wearing them. They are soft, lightweight and so far no signs of pilling. It looks like the <u><i>regular</i></u> sizes are more limited in terms of colors.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso--simple-merino-jumper-sweater-tops#post-2230245 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 11:54:42 +0000 Bijou 2230245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I am really surprised at how dominant earth tones are for the Northern Hemisphere Fall / Winter clothing too. Whilst I have acquired a few pieces in earth tones, they are not my best colours and I have resolved to not buy any more. I expect that next year I will have a hard time updating my wardrobe for my favourite shades. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso--simple-merino-jumper-sweater-tops#post-2230243 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 11:43:59 +0000 Anonymous 2230243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kettlewell?<br /> <a href="https://www.kettlewellcolours.co.uk/us/products/all/item/pleat-back-tunic" rel="nofollow">https://www.kettlewellcolours......back-tunic</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.kettlewellcolours.co.uk/us/products/all/item/merino-cropped-jumper" rel="nofollow">https://www.kettlewellcolours......ped-jumper</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso--simple-merino-jumper-sweater-tops#post-2230239 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 11:30:15 +0000 Kate 2230239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Uniqlo. I have several of their 100% merino sweaters, and they are great. If you can’t find your colors in the women’s section, look in the men’s. I tend to prefer the men’s version because the straighter cut and broader shoulder line works better for me. I just go down a size. I also prefer the men’s V-neck version, since it is a shallower V, and more flattering on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso--simple-merino-jumper-sweater-tops#post-2230235 Fri, 08 Oct 2021 11:25:18 +0000 Janet 2230235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you. I’ll see a promising basic on a retail site, click through and find it available in cream, mustard, blush and pink — none of which I wear! </p> <p>Lord &amp; Taylor used to do some good basic merino pieces.
