I have almost all the whisper knit sweaters but they are different weights. When Louis says every needle knit is that the thicker heavier knit which I love the best? I know he said that about the turtleneck but not the tank because I just got that in plum. The cardigan I think is a lighter knit or am I wrong. It was so funny I went through my drawers and discovered I have all the skirts so I need sweater sets and jewelry.

His video says the cardigan body has a standing rib on both sides of the knit, so I think it should be heavier than the jersey tank.

@fresh kitty  - The WK Cardigan has a band collar - and the body is an English Rib - the front (outside of the Cardigan) rib is exactly the same as the back (inside of the Cardigan) rib.  The English Rib helps the garment hang straight.

 

The WK Cardigan is not over-sized - Louis calls it a ‘tailored’ Cardigan - “it has a fully fashioned shape”.

 

The body of the coordinating WK Sleeveless TN is in the Every Needle Rib - but the Turtle Neck is in the English Rib.  

 

I would recommend you watch the first of the 3 Videos, Louis explains everything in detail.

Does anyone know what colors the regular WK TN will come in?

My feeling is the English rib in the cardigan will be slightly weightier than the jersey in the tank, but not quite as beefy as an every needle rib WK.  The "tailored" cardi looks very refined, lovely line and fit.

 

Am so looking forward to these new WK pieces and seeing them; this fall collection is soooooo good, colors, style, versatility, all-round amazing!

It's an English rib.

Standing rib as in a raised ribbing, not roast beef,
but more beefy than the jersey. Smiley Happy

You can easily see in the video that the cardigan is much heavier than the TN and tank.
