What makes a high quality knit?
I don’t know much about knit tech so I’m curious what tends to make better knits compared to J Crew.
For example, I have a cashmere cardigan from Cavour. It’s nice and soft so I presume the yarn is decent, but it’s very frumpy and has no drape and generally looks terrible when I wear it.
By contrast I have a couple of others that are lambswool and camel(?) that have much better structure.
Is it the the gauge? Ply? Something with the yarn?
