We have a bunch of leftover sweaters in size XS and Small in Rollneck Navy, Turtleneck Light Grey, and Turtleneck Light Blue (denim) - picked at random, you choose extra small or small but don't know what color or style you'll get until you open the box; sorta fun and exciting.
And just a few Olive Rollneck sweaters in XL and 2XL.

We’ve had a 20+ year relationship with a sweater-maker in England, who even came to Rivendell once, around 2009, probably as a business expense excuse to see San Francisco. Their standard sweaters are too normal for us, so we typically design customs from scratch or take one of their existing models and add some quirk to make it a little groovier.
Material—
100 percent merino wool. It’s a skinny-haired wool, so the fibers are flexible and not pokey. Most of the time you’ll probably have something on underneath, but in a pinch, you can wear it as a pajama top
Sizing—
Generous, by British standards, but they like their clothes tight. Buy your shirt size or one size up even two. If you are normally a 2X, the XL will be snug.
Washing and drying—
Wool or delicate setting recommended; and air dry. It’s dry enough after the spin cycle, no need to abuse it in the dryer. We sell KOOKABURRA—to help maintain the lanolin content. Our customers love it, but I think everybody here just uses normal (presumably earth-friendly) soap.
A shrunken one of these has kind of a neat look and feel about it. The wool gets tight, half-felted, and shrinks a few sizes, especially in length, a midriff-revealer or emergency layer for a smaller person.
