I think these sweaters are more often cotton and will be out in the spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stark-white-vs-ivory-sweaters#post-802102 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 04:43:29 +0000 anne 802102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer pure white but find it difficult to find. And sometimes I buy things thinking they will be white but on closer examination find they are ivory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stark-white-vs-ivory-sweaters#post-802023 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 01:10:17 +0000 Stuti 802023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love ivory too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stark-white-vs-ivory-sweaters#post-801913 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 22:20:58 +0000 lyn* 801913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I like ivory, for the same reason as Diana - I get pure white dirty too easily! :)</p> <p>I hope you have better luck finding a pure white sweater though, they sound lovely, like a soft bunny rabbit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stark-white-vs-ivory-sweaters#post-801900 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 22:03:19 +0000 LovetoStyleAlexVA 801900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jules and Diana,<br /> Fascinating information! Thanks for sharing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stark-white-vs-ivory-sweaters#post-801892 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 21:35:02 +0000 Diana 801892@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, traditional aran sweaters (like fisherman sweaters) come in off white or various other natural sheep colors, so it's sort of more traditional to have those colors even today. </p> <p>For me personally, I much prefer ivory/cream to stark white. It's much easier on my complexion, plus it doesn't show dirt as easily. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stark-white-vs-ivory-sweaters#post-801891 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 21:31:27 +0000 Jules 801891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe the ivory is a natural wool colour or processed a traditional way, whereas pure white would require bleach - since these sweaters reference traditional styles, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stark-white-vs-ivory-sweaters#post-801840 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 19:40:44 +0000 Atlantia 801840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds very lovely! I think ivory is more common, but I don't really know why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/stark-white-vs-ivory-sweaters#post-801836 Sat, 22 Dec 2012 19:36:43 +0000 LovetoStyleAlexVA 801836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>is anyone drawn to pure white (vs ivory/off white) winter sweaters? Especially cable knits ones, the idea of one sounds so elegant to me. I don't see them in stores/online though, just ivory/off white. Is that what most people prefer? </p>
