Extra Fine Merino Crew Sweater
About Uniqlo’s sweaters: Uniqlo's knitwear is a value standout — its Extra Fine Merino and Lambswool sweaters deliver real wool at prices that undercut everyone, in a deep colour range.
Is the price honest?
Excellent value at $50 — genuine merino at a price most acrylic blends cost. Reviewers consistently name it the best-value wool sweater, with the caveat that the fine gauge is thin and pills a little.
Our take
Uniqlo's Extra Fine Merino is the value benchmark for wool knitwear — genuine merino in a fine gauge with a clean cut and a famously deep colour range, for around $50. Owners praise getting real merino (not acrylic) at the price and restock in multiple colours. The honest caveats: the fine gauge is thinner than premium knits and can pill at friction points, and the slim cut runs trim and short. For real merino under $70, reviewers rate it the one to beat.
